Accreditation: 

Newgiza University (NGU) was established as a private university by a presidential Decree “93” in April 2010. NGU schools are acknowledged by the Ministry of Higher Education (MHE) and the Supreme Council of Universities (SCU).

The university will eventually include twelve Schools: Medicine; Pharmacy; Dentistry; Nursing and Health Science; Economics and Politics; Law; Business and Finance; Engineering; Information Technology; Arts and Design; Archaeology; and Languages and Interpretation. Currently, eight schools are functioning (Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Business and Finance, Economics and Politics, Engineering, Information Technology, and Arts and Design).

The School of Medicine was acknowledged by decree “3356” in August 2016. Every school will apply for accreditation by the National Authority for Quality Assurance and Accreditation in Education (NAQAAE) after the graduation of the first cohort.

University College London (UCL):

The School of Medicine at NGU has an academic collaboration with University College London (UCL), enhancing its academic capabilities, as well as offering world-renowned undergraduate program, 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. 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).

The UCL Medical School is currently ranked 6th in the world in the QS World University Rankings by Subject (2023).

Program mission

The MBBCh program mission is to produce a distinctive NGU Doctor: a scientifically literate, research informed, patient-centred and socially responsible professional who can serve the health needs of individuals and communities both in Egypt and beyond.

As a student of medicine at NGU you will be joining an exciting and impressive medical school. Your degree will follow a Five-year academic program (followed by  Two-years internship) that includes a stimulating Introductory Module where you will learn alongside students from the other health and life sciences programs followed by a series of ‘horizontal modules’ which focus on body systems and clinical disciplines and vertical themes which focus on important professional topics including clinical skills, professional development, social determinants of health and use of evidence, Student activities and electives.

Your Learning

You will be taught through lectures, tutorials, small-group work, laboratory classes and placements. Later years will involve attachments to teams of consultants and doctors. You will be expected to supplement learning in the university and in healthcare settings with directed self-learning.

You will be assessed by contemporary assessment methods including written exam, objective clinical teaching clinical examinations supplemented with a complete portfolio. The program integrates basic medical sciences and clinical sciences with professional skills and competencies throughout. Small group work and assigned tasks will enhance key generic skills including independent learning, critical thinking, scholarly writing and scientific method.

The MBBCh is five Academic years & two years internship

The MBBCh program is an integrated program. This means a deliberate blurring of the boundaries between basic science, and clinical science, between theory and practice and between disciplines. Although delivered in an integrated format, the program includes all the core basic sciences, clinical sciences, practical knowledge and skills and professional and generic skills required to address the intended learning outcomes.

The program contains 325 credit units  (308 compulsory and 17 elective) . These credit units do not represent only contact hours, but the total learning effort required to achieve the learning outcomes including direct contact hours in classrooms, small groups and practical classes, workplace-based learning in clinical placements, project work, self-paced learning delivered via the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) and self-directed learning. A credit unit is estimated to represent 25 hours of study.

NGU- SOM, as an Egyptian university, aspires to lead in all aspects including community and environmental awareness,  while valuing the  importance of social responsibility as an integral part of medical education. 

The school has a number of bodies that serve the community and develop the environment. 

1- The Community Service and Environmental Development Affairs Committee implements and monitors plans.  

2- New Giza University Community Hospital, in Sayeda Nafeesa serves patients free of charge in the fields of pediatrics, internal medicine, surgery and rare diseases. 

3- Cooperation with the Crisis and Disaster Unit at the university 

4-The NGU students’ clubs that share in medical conveys: 

• Eight medical convoys were organized by the students’ clubs and with the participation of some members of the faculty.5-Awareness campaigns: 

Campaigns a provided by the school and are carried out by students under the supervision of faculty members and have included awareness campaigns on hepatitis, diabetes and maintaining food safety 

6- The Lancet Countdown Egypt Report has been launched from New Giza University and  works to ensure that health is at the center of government response to climate change.

7-COP27-ASRT call for “Climate Change Adaptation and Nature Conservation”:

A multidisciplinary team was formed by the School of Medicine, the School of Information Technology, and the School of Engineering at New Giza University. The team submitted a concept note for a research proposal entitled: “Integrating Artificial Intelligence and Energy Simulation to Enhance Sustainability Standards for Educational Buildings: A Case Study of Occupant-Based Policies at New Giza University”.  The team’s  research was selected as one of the projects for the implementation plan of COP27 

8-Misr ElKhair food distribution campaigns:

NGU students assist in that deliver the necessary materials to those in need. Including packing of Ramadan food boxes to be distributed to impoverished families.
