Q1. Does NGU School of Medicine have any connection with the UK universities?
+Yes, its syllabus is prepared in cooperation with University College London (UCL).
Newgiza University (NGU) occupies a genuinely distinctive position among Egypt's medical education options: a private university established by Presidential Decree in April 2010, located on the legendary Giza Plateau just minutes from the Great Pyramids, that opened its doors to its first cohort in 2016 with an explicit founding focus on three schools. Medicine, Pharmacy, and Dentistry, before later expanding into business, economics, engineering, and other disciplines. What sets NGU's School of Medicine apart most concretely is its formal academic collaboration with University College London (UCL), one of the world's leading research universities and medical schools, as well as additional partnerships with King's College London (KCL).
NGU's MBBCh programme (referred to by the university as the British-style MBBCh designation, consistent with its UK academic partnerships) follows a modular, integrated curriculum explicitly designed to international standards, with early clinical exposure built in from the outset rather than deferred to later years. The structure totals six and a half years for standard intake, comprising what the university describes as three years of clinical undergraduate practice followed by two years of clinical internship, reflecting a deliberate alignment with international (rather than purely traditional Egyptian) curriculum design philosophy, informed by the UCL and KCL collaborations.
Tuition at NGU is, by Egyptian standards, towards the premium end for medicine, with confirmed published fees of approximately USD 19,600 per year for the 2024–2025 academic year (verify current figures, as these are revised annually), substantially higher than public universities or other private options like MTI, but still dramatically lower than comparable Western medical degrees with UK or US-affiliated curriculum design, for international students seeking the closest available approximation, within Egypt, to a UK-style medical education experience complete with international academic partnerships, a modern purpose-built campus at one of Egypt's most prestigious addresses, and a curriculum philosophy explicitly informed by international standards. NGU represents the clearest such option, at a cost point that remains a fraction of equivalent UK tuition.
