Heliopolis University (HU), a cornerstone of the SEKEM initiative, is once again opening its admissions for the 2025-2026 academic year. Founded in 2012 as the first university in the Middle East based on sustainable development principles, HU embodies a holistic commitment to sustainable development with a mandate that extends beyond traditional academic silos.

With a campus boasting over 50% green space, solar power utilization, and advanced water recycling systems, HU aims to deeply integrate principles of economic solidarity, social justice, individual consciousness, and environmental balance into every facet of its operation.

HU offers a diverse range of programs across five faculties: Engineering, Business and Economics, Pharmacy, Physical Therapy, and Organic Agriculture, with a forward-looking perspective on sustainability. Moreover, a distinguishing feature across all disciplines is the mandatory “Core Program,” an interdisciplinary curriculum that ensures every graduate possesses a foundational understanding of humanities, arts, social sciences, and practical sustainability, cultivating critical thinking and a well-rounded perspective.

With a commitment to making its unique educational model accessible, HU allows its students to benefit from various scholarships and discounts, including full scholarships for international sports achievements, sibling discounts, and exclusive early bird offers. Through robust international partnerships with universities and industrial organizations, students have access to study abroad and exchange programs, summer internships, and inter-cultural summer camps.
