About the Faculty
Where Creativity Meets the Tools of Tomorrow
The Faculty of Fine Arts at the Egyptian Russian University opened in the 2022/2023 academic year. It combines the foundations of traditional fine arts with contemporary design and digital technology.
Students begin with a Foundation Year that explores every discipline, then choose one of five majors — from painting, sculpture and photography to animation, game art, environmental design, visual communication and toy design.
Studio-based learning, exhibitions and real-world projects connect students with the art community and the creative industries.
