Alexandria University - AU
speciality: Biomedical Sciences

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.
