International cooperation has become an integral part of the university. This is reflected in all fields of the university activities. Participation in international academic life is an inevitable part of the university’s development, ensuring at the same time the quality and sustainability of research and higher education. This makes internationalization not a target in itself, but rather the means for developing academic quality in all the activities of the university. Moreover, there is a wider choice of international study programmes that the international student can have.

Fayoum University seeks to hold a position of competitiveness of higher education in the Middle East and in the rest of the world. To ensure this, among other things, exchange programmes and academic research programmes are arranged with foreign universities.
