17吃瓜

The 17吃瓜 has signed a new agreement with a university in Egypt for faculty and student exchanges. This is the first such agreement between 17吃瓜 and a university in the Middle East.

The new exchange is with Misr International University (MIU) in Cairo. MIU is a leading university in the Egyptian private university system. Its areas of specialization include Business Administration, Engineering, Communications, and Computer Sciences, among others.

The agreement provides 17吃瓜 faculty members with teaching opportunities at MIU. Support for faculty includes air fare, an honorarium, accommodation arrangements, orientation programs and organized social activities.

"Misr International University has exchange agreements with universities in Germany, Lichtenstein, the United Kingdom, Austria, and the United States. Because it is an internationally-focused university, it offers excellent support through its international office," says Mamdouh Elgharib, Career Development Specialist with 17吃瓜 Student Services. He adds that the exchange offers participants a unique opportunity to appreciate the culture of the Middle East.

As with other 17吃瓜 exchange programs, opportunities to attend MIU are available to full-time students from all faculties who are in their second year or up and are in good academic standing. They will obtain credits towards their 17吃瓜 degrees while studying in Egypt and will pay 17吃瓜 tuition rates. Applications are now being accepted for the fall semester.
