- Students enrolled in one of the faculties of Egyptian or foreign universities or rather in a scientific institute that follows the credit hour system and that is recognized by the Supreme Council of Universities are allowed to join HUE, provided that each student should fulfill the faculty’s admission requirements. In this case, an academic clearance is necessary and the calculation of the credit hours he studied and succeeded in is a must.
In all cases, the admission requirements should necessarily follow the executive regulations of the Universities Organization Law No. 49 of 1972 and all that is issued by the Supreme Council of Universities in this regard.

- To get done with 170 credit hours equivalent courses with a GPA not less than 2.00.
- Passing the graduation project.
- Passing the Pass and fail required courses such as summer training courses.
English language is the language of study except for the General Knowledge courses that are in Arabic language. However, in all cases, the exam should necessarily be in the language of study.
The study period for a regular student (who passes all required courses in all semesters) is not less than 9 major semesters, and the academic year is divided into three semesters as follows:
- Fall Semester: it covers 14 weeks and begins as early as September.
- Spring Semester: it covers 14 weeks and begins as early as
- Summer semester: it covers 7 weeks and begins in late June, provided that the number of weekly credit hours allocated to each course is doubled.
Grade Point Average (GPA) is a numeric indicator for a student's academic performance, calculated on a scale of 4.0.
If you reduce your academic load to be less than 12 credit hours per semester, you will need extra semesters.
