Cairo University


Cairo University is the second oldest Egyptian university and the third in the Arab world, after Al-Azhar University and the University of  Quoraouion.

 

With the intensification of the assistance of the Egyptian National Movement in the earlytwentieth century, elite  leaders of the national action and pioneers of the Enlightenment and Social Thought  movement  in  Egypt,  such as Mohammed Abdo,  Mustafa Kamel,  Mohammed Farid, Qasim Amin, and Saad Zaghloul, announced the  establishment  of the university on December 21, 1908 with the goal of realizing a dream that has long  appealed  to the imagination of the people of this country, which is  the establishment  of a university that will advance the  country in various aspects of life, and be a beacon  to the  basis of free thought and a basis for scientific renaissance and a bridge  connecting the country with the sources of  science.

 

On March 11, 1925, a decree was issued to establish the  State University in the name  of the Egyptian University. It was later renamed Fouad I University then Cairo  University  after the July 23, 1952 revolution.

 

Initially, the university consisted of four faculties:

  • Law
  • Literature
  • Science
  • Medicine

In the same year,  the  School  of  Pharmacy  in  the  Faculty of Medicine.  On August 22, 1935, a Royal Decree-Law No. 91 was issued integrating the Schools of  Engineering, Agriculture, Higher Commerce and Veterinary Medicine in the Egyptian  University. 

In 1955,  the Departments of Pharmacy and Oral and  Dental Medicine were separated  from the Faculty of  Medicine, making them independent Faculties.

 

Three Cairo University graduates won Nobel Prize.

In 2004 the University was listed among the best 500 universities in the world.
