Helwan University

The applicant must have a high school diploma or its equivalent, and the document list names a copy of the educational certificate.

The document list for the Study in Egypt initiative names a valid passport copy.

The document list names a personal photo of the student; the faculty page read for this file asks for six personal photographs, so bring several.

The national pages ask only for a copy of the educational certificate. The Alexandria University faculty page read for this file asks applicants for their transcript as well, so prepare the grade supplement even though no national rule names it.

An English certificate is asked for by the faculties that teach in English; the faculty page read for this file lists IELTS, TOEFL and its own university test as the accepted proofs. An Arabic-taught programme asks for Arabic instead.

None of the official pages read for this file states a translation rule. A document in Uzbek or Russian is normally submitted with a certified translation into Arabic or English before an Egyptian authority will act on it, and the consulate that legalises it is where to confirm the language.

No page read for this file publishes a money amount or a proof-of-funds rule for study in Egypt, so no figure is given here. Ask the Egyptian mission that will issue your visa what it wants to see.

The Supreme Council of Universities resolution says foreign students will be accepted in universities in the same conditions for the admission of students who have Egyptian high school certificate and in the light of the rules governing qualified courses which accepted by every faculty.

The Supreme Council of Universities is the sole authority in the Arab Republic of Egypt responsible for equating academic degrees, and its equivalency service is what a qualification obtained abroad is put through.

No national page read for this file publishes a language rule for foreign students. The Alexandria University faculty page read for this file shows what a faculty can ask for, listing IELTS 5, TOEFL iBT 45, TOEFL PBT 450 and its own AUEPT exam at 60 per cent for postgraduate entry. Those are one faculty's numbers, not Egypt's, so they are not written as a country rule here.

The Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research carries the Study in Egypt admission platform (admission.study-in-egypt.gov.eg) as the route by which a foreign applicant files the application, and describes Egypt as one of the leading countries in the field of higher education in the Arab world and the Middle East, with many public and private universities that offer diverse educational programs in many fields; the platform itself did not answer when this row was checked, so the Ministry's own page is cited.

Egypt is not listed among the contracting parties to the 1961 Apostille Convention, while Uzbekistan is, so an Uzbek education document cannot be legalised for Egypt with an apostille and goes through consular legalisation instead.

The Egyptian embassy page on personal legalisation says an educational certificate must first be legalised by the Egyptian Cultural and Educational Bureau and that after that you need final legalization from the closest consulate. The page describes the procedure at the mission in Washington, so check the exact steps with the Egyptian mission accredited to Uzbekistan.

Egypt's electronic visa portal, run by the Ministry of Interior, says you have to create an e-Visa application at least 7 days before your departure. The portal publishes no study-visa category, so this row states none; the study visa is arranged with the Egyptian mission on the strength of the university's acceptance.

The Central Administration for Foreign Students Affairs is concerned with setting policies for admitting foreign students into universities and institutes, and with making the necessary contacts with Egyptian embassies abroad, the concerned embassies in Egypt as well as the Foreign Ministry about foreign students' affairs.

The document list names a copy of the aptitude test, if any, so it applies only to the faculties that hold one.

The resolution continues the exemption of foreign students who have a high school certificate or its equivalent to perform supplementary exam in Arabic language, Religious Education and National Education if their native language is not Arabic, and they didn't study the Arabic language during getting high school certificate.

The resolution exempts foreign students who have obtained a high school certificate from condition of their success in the foreign language according to the state system, and if this language within the academic programs the faculty or department in which will be enrolled, thus must pass complementary exam in this course.

The General Administration for Admission and Scholarships of Foreign Students is also concerned with admitting foreign students into the Educational Center for Arabic Language, an affiliate of the administration, as well as placing them in different faculties. The page does not describe this as a foundation year leading into a degree, so it is listed as an option rather than a route.

The Ministry of Higher Education site carries no health-insurance rule for international students, and none of the other pages read for this file states one, so nothing is claimed here — ask the university what it requires on enrolment.
