    A Challenging Program with Limited Practical Value

    As a Systems and Computer Engineering student at Al-Azhar University, I found the program to be quite theoretical and academically heavy, but unfortunately lacking in practical, hands-on experience. Many of the courses were outdated, especially in areas related to modern software development, AI applications, and data-driven technologies.

    While the curriculum covered foundational concepts like programming, algorithms, and network systems, the delivery often felt disconnected from real-world applications. Some instructors were dedicated and knowledgeable, but the teaching style was mostly rigid, with limited room for creative thinking or project-based learning.

    Campus life and facilities were very basic, and support for student-led initiatives or tech activities was minimal. I had to rely heavily on self-learning, online resources, and internships to gain relevant skills and exposure.

    Overall, the program was difficult and demanding, but it didn’t provide enough modern preparation for the tech industry. Future students should be ready to supplement their studies with personal projects and external courses to truly grow.

    Underrated

    I like everything about it from the principals to the execution of each school’s program in the university. It’s too easy to have a conversation with your professors and even the president of the university, and feel that you’re heard and that your opinion matters. The community is pretty good and safe as well.

    one of the oldest most popular Arabic university

    Al-Azhar University is one of the oldest universities in the world and the most esteemed of Islamic academic institutions1. It is a public university located in Cairo, Egypt2. The university is ranked #1201-1400 in QS World University Rankings 20233 and #739 in Best Global Universities4. The curriculum is up-to-date and the teachers are highly qualified5. Most of the students are from Islamic countries but there is still a good diversity maintained.
    the fees are cheaper than the other university but the way of teaching is kind of old way does not give the student what the market really needs.
