Alexandria University

Alexandria University is Egypt’s second-oldest public university and a premier research hub that consistently ranks among the top three institutions nationally. As of February 2026, the university is operating under a transitional leadership phase following the appointment of its longtime president, Abdelaziz Konsowa, as Egypt’s Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research earlier this year. The university has recently achieved significant global milestones, including being named the  most sustainable university in Africa by the UI GreenMetric rankings and launching its first international branch in Abu Dhabi in early 2026. Renowned for its strong Field-Weighted Citation Impact and its massive healthcare network in the Shatby and Smouha districts, the institution continues to expand its global footprint with a new campus in Malaysia scheduled to open in October 2026, further solidifying its role as a bridge between Mediterranean and global academic standards.
