Message from the Associate Dean
From barter agreements in the stone ages to crypto currency trading in the 21st century, business remains the only career whose demand and importance will never decline. However, the accelerating rate at which this field changes will always remain a significant challenge to all business leaders. A challenge that requires successful leaders to be opportunity oriented, innovative, adaptable, resilient and emotionally intelligent, let aside, knowledgeable and updated.
In realizing and capitalizing on this accelerated change, UPEI – Cairo campus faculty of Business provides a unique learning experience that enables students to better utilize their capabilities, explore and exploit their environment, and be capable of coming up with the next big change. Through our unique blend of hands on business education, entrepreneurial skills, fun campus environment and multicultural exposure, students develop into well rounded leaders who can excel in all types of business environments.

Co-operative Education
The Co-op Program at UPEI Cairo Campus, launched in 2020, bridges the gap between academic learning and real-world career experience. This integrated program allows students to alternate academic terms with paid work terms, applying classroom knowledge to practical challenges. Supported by industry partners such as The Greek Campus, SED-Saudi Egyptian Developers, Money Fellows, Koinz, and Dabur, the program provides invaluable exposure to various fields.
Students in the program complete at least three 14-week work terms and professional development courses, equipping them with the skills, confidence, and professional networks needed to thrive.
Upon successful completion, students receive a notation on their transcript and graduation parchment, marking their achievement.
