Admission Requirements

Applicants to the program must meet all requirements established by the faculty Council.

Students who did not gain direct admission to the faculty of Engineering at Sohag University through the Central Admissions Office—despite meeting the minimum requirements for the engineering sector may enrol in specialized fee-based programs upon payment of the prescribed tuition fees. They are not permitted to transfer to the faculty’s main programs at any time prior to graduation.

Students enrolled in a similar program at a faculty of engineering whether at an Egyptian or foreign university—may be accepted for transfer, provided they meet the faculty’s admission requirements. Courses previously completed at the institution from which the student is transferring shall be credited in accordance with rules established by the Faculty Council and upon completion of the necessary course equivalency assessment.

International students are also admitted to the Faculty through the General Administration for International Students, in accordance with the admission criteria annually determined by the Supreme Council of Universities.

  • High-achieving students may be permitted to graduate and obtain a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering—under the credit-hour system—in a minimum of four academic years (or eight main semesters), provided they fulfil all graduation requirements.
  •   The maximum duration of study is twenty main semesters (ten academic years); this excludes semesters during which enrolment is suspended for reasons accepted by the faculty Council.
