The American University in Cairo, founded in 1919, is the region’s premier English-language university and an essential contributor to the social, political and cultural life of the Arab world.

The Goethe-Institut is the cultural institute of the Federal Republic of Germany with a global reach. We promote knowledge of the German language abroad and foster international cultural cooperation. We convey a comprehensive image of Germany by providing information about cultural, social and political life in our nation. Our cultural and educational programmes encourage intercultural dialogue and enable cultural involvement. They strengthen the development of structures in civil society and foster worldwide mobility. With our network of Goethe-Instituts, Goethe Centres, cultural societies, reading rooms and exam and language learning centres, we have been the first point of contact for many with Germany for over sixty years. Our long-lasting partnerships with leading institutions and individuals in hundred countries create enduring trust in Germany. We are partners for all who actively engage with Germany and its culture, working independently and without political ties.

The mission of the faculty is to promote the discovery and application of knowledge, the acquisition of skills and development of intellect and character in a manner that prepares students to contribute effectively and ethically as citizens of a changing and increasingly technological world. The mission is achieved through selected high-quality undergraduate and graduate programs.
