Alexandria University - AU (reviews)

“Alexandria University offers a very strong academic foundation, especially in the medical and pharmaceutical fields. The curriculum is rigorous and highly respected, delivered by expert professors.
Pros: High-level education, vibrant student life, and a beautiful campus location near the sea.
Cons: Heavy workload and some administrative bureaucracy.

My overall experience at Alexandria University was positive, especially in terms of academic knowledge and theoretical foundation. The program provided solid core subjects and helped me build discipline and critical thinking skills.

The professors were knowledgeable, and some were very supportive and genuinely interested in student success. However, the program could benefit from more practical training, updated materials, and stronger connections to the job market.

Facilities and organization were acceptable, though there is room for improvement in terms of resources and modern learning tools.

Overall, it is a good program for building a strong academic base, but students may need to put in extra effort independently to gain practical experience and stay competitive in the job market.

I would recommend my university. I studied in the field of french language and literature and I learnt so much and I could say that it really changed the way I think and it introduced me to a lot of new writers, taught me how to analyze pieces of literature and art pieces through the centuries and I was so comfortable writting pages of analysis by the end of my course.

I believe this university has a lot of potential, supported by many excellent professors. As a student in the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering, I had the opportunity to learn from both the Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of Engineering.

That said, the education system could be improved. There were frequent changes to the credit system regulations, and some examinations tended to emphasize memorization of past papers rather than true understanding. On the positive side, the university has begun renewing its facilities, which is encouraging, though as a public institution with relatively low fees, resources are naturally limited.

My program—Biomedical Engineering—is relatively new within the Faculty of Engineering. While the program is designed to be research-oriented, research opportunities in Egypt remain limited. Some courses would also benefit from having more specialized professors with direct biomedical expertise, rather than a purely engineering background.

The course content itself was strong overall, though there were some unnecessary repetitions. Encouragingly, the program is updated annually, and I feel they are making significant progress. The university is also launching new programs to keep pace with global trends, which reflects a forward-looking attitude.
