Higher Education and Scientific Research Minister Ayman Ashour announced on Sunday, April 14, 2024, that a total of 13 Egyptian universities were included in the QS World University Rankings 2024. These rankings evaluate over 15,559 universities worldwide based on academic and scientific standards.

Cairo University received recognition in six different areas which include Archaeology, Dentistry, Development Studies, Hospitality Management, Linguistics, and Statistics and Operational Research.

The American University in Cairo was acknowledged for its excellence in several fields such as politics, sociology, accounting and finance, business and management studies, and modern languages.
These rankings are valuable for prospective students seeking to identify the top universities in their desired fields. The demand for subject-level comparisons has made these rankings an important resource for students making decisions about their higher education.
Each specific subject ranking is compiled using four main sources. The first two sources include global surveys of academics and employers conducted by QS, which are used to assess the international reputation of institutions in each subject. The other two sources evaluate research impact based on research citations per paper and the h-index in the relevant subject area.
The recognition of these Egyptian universities in the QS World University Rankings 2024 is a testament to the quality of education and research being conducted in the country. It highlights the commitment of these institutions to maintaining high academic standards and their contribution to the global academic community.
The inclusion of these universities in the rankings will not only benefit the institutions themselves but also the students who are looking to pursue higher education in Egypt. By having access to this information, students can make informed decisions about their educational journey and choose an institution that best aligns with their academic and career goals.
Overall, the presence of Egyptian universities in the QS World University Rankings 2024 is a positive reflection of the country’s higher education sector and a testament to the dedication and excellence of these institutions.
