Academic Collaboration

 

University College London (UCL)

The academic collaboration between UCL and NGU is centered on NGU’s School of Health Sciences (Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy) and School of Engineering, enhancing NGU’s academic capabilities, as well as offering world-renowned undergraduate programs, providing both the school and students with ample opportunities for development on an academic and personal level.

This collaboration ensured that the highest international standards in teaching and research are met at NGU, with highly qualified faculty members providing instruction and supervision, starting at first with three schools: School of Medicine in collaboration with UCL Medical School, School of Pharmacy in collaboration with UCL School of Pharmacy, and School of Dentistry in collaboration with UCL Eastman Dental Clinic. The collaboration with UCL was afterwards extended to include NGU School of Engineering.

As part of this collaboration, senior faculty and staff from UCL worked with their NGU colleagues in strategic planning and organization of the new programs, setting up appropriate infrastructure and education governance structures, developing curricula and learning resources, faculty and senior staff recruitment, faculty development, course evaluation and education quality assurance. Where appropriate, NGU utilizes existing UCL teaching and assessment resources to deliver its programs.

Having currently ranked 9th on the QS World University Rankings 2025, and consistently placing in the top 20 of various global university rankings, UCL is widely recognized for its research capabilities and contributions to sciences and innovations. It was rated 2nd in the UK for research power in the Research Excellence Framework 2021. Moreover, UCL boasts 30 Nobel Prize winners, and was recently selected as University of the Year 2024 (The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2024).

Right at the heart of the Giza Plateau and within touching distance of the Great Pyramids, UCL’s professors, lecturers, and staff lead the brightest young minds forward towards successful careers in their chosen fields. UCL focuses on personal development and intellectual growth, through typically small class sizes maintaining a low staff to student ratio, in line with the tutorial-based teaching methods employed by UCL globally. Constant student engagement on both a scholarly and extracurricular level ensures a heightened learning experience, spurring every student towards discovering his or her true potential and realizing NGU’s goal of achieving truly unbounded thinking.

Being London’s global university, UCL has a distinguished presence in Australia and Qatar, as well as partnerships around the world with a host of leading educational bodies, from Berkeley to Yale, and Peking University to the University of Sydney. UCL’s influence spans the globe, and it brought its worldwide expertise to NGU.
