The American University in Cairo - AUC
speciality: Business and Strategy

I took the Operations Management course as part of my business studies at AUC, and honestly, it was one of the most useful classes I’ve had so far. It really gives you a clear picture of how businesses run things behind the scenes — from production to supply chain to quality control.

What I liked most was how practical it felt. The professor didn’t just stick to slides and theory; we had real-life examples, class discussions, and even a field trip to a local factory. We also worked on group projects and case studies, which helped bring the concepts to life.

The course does get a bit intense — there’s a good amount of math and weekly assignments, and the group project took a lot of time. But if you’re into how businesses actually work and want to learn skills that are useful for internships or jobs, it’s totally worth it.

I’d recommend it to anyone studying business or even just curious about how companies manage their operations.

Pros:
1. Super practical and hands-on

2. Engaging professor and real-world examples

3. Great preparation for internships or job interviews

Cons:
1. Workload can get heavy

2. Some parts are a bit math-heavy if that’s not your thing

Studying there was ana amazing experience educational wise and also making use of the vast facilities there to have an amazing social life and the best memories best university in egypt and the middle east in my opinion

The university good to high extent as it focuses on critical thinking and soft skills, unlike other universities in Egypt. Having the opportunity to take some courses that are not related to the major, it gives me the opportunity to see issues from multiple points of view. For instance, I am intending to major in Finance; however, I take biology lab which adds a scientific perspective to me.

Actually I loved the program because it was very beneficial for my academic & professional experience it gave me many crucial skills and aspects that the market needs. Also they were depending on both academic & professional materials and how to have more knowledge about the teal business life. Also besides that I had so much fun throughout the program by having many field visits and activities that engaged us more to the program.

– Student life can be very fun, but most people talk/dress/act the same way
– A lot of the professors are quite good
– the facilities and campus are great
– There’s definitely lots of opportunities that arise during and after you finish studying at AUC, especially if you stay in Egypt.
