New Salhia City is About to Get a State-of-the-Art University

With the vast majority of private universities based in Cairo, news of a brand new private university being established in Sharqia’s New Salhia city could mean huge advances in Egypt’s higher education, broadening its scope beyond the capital. The New Salhia University is set to play a major role in fostering educational cooperation between Sharqia’s scientists and other universities in Egypt, and universities around the world.

The non-profit institution looks to contribute to Egypt's potential for scientific research, nurturing the skills of future Egyptian specialists, technicians and experts in fields like Physiotherapy, Engineering, Management and Information Studies. The university will offer the latest technology in its labs and lecture halls, and is expected to make various cooperation agreements with distinguished international universities.

A set date for the launch of the university hasn't been determined yet.
