Student dormitories are available for students who want to move closer to campus. Our dorms are right next to campus in a closed compound called Nakheel Residence. Networked and air conditioned dorms for female and male students.
Library services
The new library consists of four floors, with a total capacity of around 1200 users and 100,000 books. It provides over 200 PCs for public use. In addition to providing vital services to existing students and staff, it is hoped that it will also be a good marketing point for future students and researchers.
ICT services
We use the print solution in many locations on campus. As more course and research materials have become available online, the demand for printing has increased to the point where printing costs and waste need to be controlled. Students of the BUE community can use their account to pay for printing on a per page basis.
Accreditation
BUE Staff attend training delivered by the National Authority for Quality Assurance and Accreditation of Education (NAQAAE). The British University in Egypt's (BUE) strategic goal is to ensure delivery of the highest quality education in Egypt
