Dr. Sherif Fakhry Mohamed Abdel Nabi, President of the Egyptian Russian University (ERU), announced that the university welcomes new students who have completed the Egyptian Thanaweya Amma or its equivalent to join one of its eight faculties: Pharmacy, Engineering, Oral and Dental Medicine, Business Administration, Economics and Business Technology, Artificial Intelligence, Applied Arts, Fine Arts, and Al-Alsun and Technical Languages.

Since its establishment, the university has been committed—under the full support of Dr. Mohamed Kamal Mostafa, Chairman of the Board of Trustees—to achieving its vision of becoming one of the leading Egyptian, Arab, and international universities by offering distinguished academic programs and providing students with a wide range of educational, research, sports, cultural, social, and recreational activities.

Dr. Sherif Fakhry explained that the Faculty of Engineering currently offers five distinguished academic programs, all of which award degrees accredited by the Supreme Council of Universities under the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, as well as by the National Authority for Quality Assurance and Accreditation of Education (NAQAAE). To date, the faculty has graduated 15 cohorts of highly qualified engineers who enjoy an excellent reputation in local, regional, and international labor markets.

The Faculty currently offers the following programs:

– Construction Engineering
– Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering
– Communications Engineering
– Architecture Engineering
– Computer Engineering

The faculty is equipped with advanced laboratories and teaching workshops. In addition to NAQAAE accreditation, all programs are accredited by the Federation of Arab Engineers. Four programs—Communications Engineering, Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering, Construction Engineering, and Architecture Engineering—have already received NAQAAE accreditation, while the newly established Computer Engineering Program will apply for accreditation after graduating its first cohort, in accordance with the applicable regulations.

Dr. Sherif Fakhry added that the Faculty organizes an annual Career Fair in cooperation with leading companies in relevant industries, serving as a bridge between students, graduates, and the labor market by providing training and employment opportunities.

Advantages of the Engineering Programs

In the same context, Dr. Alaa Mohamed El-Batsh, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, highlighted that the faculty’s programs offer numerous advantages compared with similar programs at other universities.

Communications Engineering Program

The program is supported by distinguished academic and research staff and has established partnerships with major organizations in the fields of information technology and telecommunications to enhance students’ professional skills. These partnerships include a collaboration with Huawei, through which the Huawei Academy was established at the university under the supervision of the Communications Engineering Department. Students participating in the academy have achieved outstanding results both locally and internationally.

The faculty has also signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Egyptian Space Agency to collaborate in space engineering and satellite technology. As part of this cooperation, a satellite research laboratory has been established within the faculty. In addition, the university launched the Tele Titans Scientific Society for Communications Engineering students.

Graduates of the Communications Engineering Program can pursue careers in:

– Governmental and private telecommunications companies.
– Network design, management, and telecommunications technology companies.
– Local and international engineering firms and the National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority.
– Specialized engineering positions within the police and armed forces.
