Prof. Dr. Essam El-Kurdi (Alamein International University)

The agreement aims to:
Expand graduate-level academic exchange

This flexible academic pathway, though not a dual-degree program, offers Egyptian students the opportunity to earn a prestigious U.S. degree while maintaining strong ties to their home institutions.
