We provide outstanding opportunities for students and staff to develop their sports’ interests and abilities and to involve themselves in diverse sports based on their preferences.
Student clubs
GUCMUN is considered as one of the most popular and prestigious student activities in the German University in Cairo. This model enhances the personal, intellectual and social skills of the Egyptian Youth. GUCMUN is a major gateway for discussions, debates and expressing socio-political opinions.
Through modelling the United Nations, a new experience is presented and addressed through an academic as well as a practical vision that would contribute to any individual intellectuality. Individuals are developed through hands on experience and by tackling various skills that could not be improved through the academic studies of any undergraduate student.
