Here\u2019s a rundown<\/strong><strong> of their tuition fees:<\/strong>Egypt\u2019s private universities are keeping tuition fees unchanged for the 2023-24 academic year, while some also have their own scholarship and grant programs to offer students as the country contends with a challenging macroeconomic climate. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Unprecedented interest in admissions tests at private and public universities:<\/strong> Admission tests and application submissions saw significant interest at public and private universities, our sources told us. While there are no overall figures available yet, our sources indicated that the high numbers of applicants is a positive indicator for competition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>No increase in tuition fees this year:<\/strong> A Higher Education Ministry source told Enterprise that tuition fees at private universities are determined independently, but there are set guidelines this year to avoid a significant hike in fees given the country\u2019s current circumstances. Most private institutions are heeding calls to cap costs. This comes as a return to the old admissions system that grants private and civil universities greater freedom and autonomy in selecting incoming students. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>REFRESHER-<\/strong> In the past two years, the government implemented the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/d2c9329d-1b4e-4473-9c3f-0a89d1a172bb\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">centralized admissions<\/a><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/d2c9329d-1b4e-4473-9c3f-0a89d1a172bb\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">system, tansik<\/a>, at private and nonprofit universities before <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/egypt\/en\/news\/story\/680b4dde-5aa2-4baf-8957-b2582c51ce07\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">rolling it back<\/a> in response to requests and complaints from these universities. Launched in 2021 , Tansik aimed to regulate admissions by assigning students to universities based on grades. But it drew backlash for limiting university autonomy. After complaints, authorities tweaked the platform to function more like the UK's UCAS, allowing direct university applications while enabling ministry oversight. This year takes a hybrid approach, allowing students to apply directly to their preferred universities, with the application process linked to the ministry database for supervision without interference in admissions. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>At the German University in Cairo<\/strong>, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.guc.edu.eg\/en\/admission\/undergraduate\/tuition_fees\/#fees\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">tuition fees<\/a> for the Faculty of Engineering, Pharma Sciences, Computer Science, and Business Administration range from EGP 192.5k for Category B to EGP 211.2k for Category A.
