Tuesday, May 20th, 2025

The second episode of Hear Me Out, UPEI Cairo Campus’s student-led podcast, is now live and it shines a light on one of the university’s most unique opportunities: the ability to start your degree in Cairo and continue it in Canada. 

In this inspiring episode, Political Science graduate Amina El Said from the Class of 2024 shares her personal story of transferring from the Cairo Campus to UPEI’s home campus in Prince Edward Island. She talks about what it was like to leave familiar surroundings, navigate cultural differences, and embrace the academic and personal growth that comes from studying abroad.

Amina’s journey is a powerful example of the global flexibility that sets UPEI Cairo Campus apart. Through the campus transfer option, students can begin their academic path in Egypt and continue it in Canada, gaining international exposure, diverse perspectives, and a seamless Canadian education across borders. 

Her experience highlights the personal and academic growth that comes from embracing new environments, building global networks, and stepping into opportunities beyond the classroom. Episode 2 offers a glimpse into what it means to truly live the international experience UPEI promises.
