German University in Cairo (GUC)

Great university for studying, since it encourages and gives good courses that actually differentiates you from others after graduates (thats for engineering at least). it also has great food and coffee options which is a plus in my opinion. There are however very few extracurricular activities other than clubs, which you won’t really have the time to join since studying takes so much of your time. So thats a negative star for me. Also they require a 3 month internship to graduate for engineering and for other departments also, which is annoying since currently the job market is hard to get a job/internships without referrals which makes the process very anxious and introduces people who just go to any internship not for the sake of learning but just to graduate. they need to update this or give the students internal internships if they want to maintain this rule. Overall good university if you are actually passionate about your major and u find great connections. I recommend!

If you’re thinking of attending the German University in Cairo, think twice. It is genuinely one of the worst educational institutions I’ve experienced. The environment feels almost designed to make students fail so they end up paying summer course fees.

Many professors don’t upload lecture slides consistently — sometimes for multiple classes — and students are just told to “take pictures of the slides,” which feels extremely cheap and unprofessional for a university with such high tuition fees. The teaching system lacks organization and support, making it unnecessarily difficult to learn.

The campus itself is unattractive, there’s barely any proper air conditioning, and overall student comfort seems completely ignored. On top of that, some of the German TAs are incredibly rude, arrogant, and dismissive toward students.

Even the admissions office receptionists are extremely rude and make the admissions process unnecessarily difficult, especially when students or parents simply have questions. They treat people with attitude and disrespect, as if students are not paying massive expenses to attend the university. The lack of professionalism and basic respect is honestly shocking.

There are far better universities out there that actually care about education and student well-being. I strongly recommend looking into other options before choosing GUC.

A very good education and has all alot of activities to play in freetime but the food places is very little not known places and expensive
