As Egypt prepares to welcome students for the 2025–2026 academic year, private universities across the country have unveiled their tuition fees, sparking widespread interest among prospective students and parents.
The new fees, which will apply from September, indicate that costs for various colleges are starting at 50,000 Egyptian pounds. Institutions such as Cairo University, Al-Jalala University, Helwan University, and Benha University have all published their updated fee structures to help students plan ahead.
Many students have been actively searching for the latest tuition details and payment procedures at their respective universities, as the deadline for enrolment draws near. According to the official announcements, the tuition varies depending on the college and programme of study, with some fields requiring higher contributions due to their specialised nature.
The disclosure of the new rates has generated significant discussions among families weighing their options for higher education. Rising education costs have been a recurring concern in recent years, prompting debates about accessibility and the financial burden on households.
Private universities remain a popular choice for many due to their modern facilities, diverse academic programmes, and partnerships with international institutions. However, the announced figures have once again highlighted the growing gap between private and public education costs in the country.
Students enrolling for the 2025–2026 academic year are advised to contact their chosen institutions directly for detailed information on payment schedules and available instalment plans, as each university follows its own procedures.
The announcement comes as part of the annual preparations to ensure a smooth transition into the new academic term, with private universities aiming to attract both local and international students while maintaining competitive standards.
