Egyptian university tuition fees and 2026 admission cut‑offs released
After the release of the 2026 secondary‑school results, Egyptian students and parents are reviewing tuition costs at private and national colleges. Fees start at about 40,000 Egyptian pounds, with programmes such as law at the Egyptian‑Chinese University priced at 48,000 £, media at 53,000 £, economics and nursing at 60,000 £, and engineering at 70,000 £. Other institutions, including the Egyptian University of Science and Technology (MUST) and Badr University in Asyut, list tuition ranging from 40,000 £ for archaeology and special‑needs education to over 130,000 £ for dental and oral‑medicine programmes.
Separate reports indicate that the Ministry of Higher Education will set official minimum admission scores after the first coordination phase. Preliminary nursing‑college cut‑offs for the science stream are projected at 84 %–88 %. Expected minimum scores for other faculties include roughly 93.2 % for medicine, 92.7 % for dentistry, 92.2 % for physiotherapy, 91.7 % for pharmacy, about 89.8 % for engineering, and 88.8 % for urban‑planning programmes. The final thresholds will be announced once the Ministry completes the first round of allocations.
