How much does it cost to study at BUE, and what scholarships are available?

BUE does not publish a single tuition figure. The university separates tuition fees for Egyptian students from tuition fees for international students, and it lists scholarships as a distinct topic alongside fees. The official site does not show amounts on the pages reviewed here, so the reliable answer is: check the fee page for your student category and confirm the figure for your specific faculty or programme with admissions before you budget. Fees can differ by college and by programme, and the site also separates postgraduate (Masters and PhD) fees from undergraduate fees.

Where BUE puts fee and scholarship information

The BUE site organizes cost information under Study → Tuition Fees, with these entry points:

The homepage also carries a combined block titled "Tuition Fees and Scholarships for Egyptian & International Students," which links into the same sections. Contact channels listed on the site are the hotline +20 19283 and [email protected].

Why you should not rely on a single number

Three things on the site make a one-figure answer unreliable:

• Student category matters. Egyptian and international students are routed to different fee pages, so the amount that applies to you depends on which category you fall into.
• Programme matters. BUE describes itself as offering accredited programmes with dual degrees across multiple colleges, and it lists faculties, a School of Continuing Education, and postgraduate degrees. Fees are presented at the level of these study routes rather than as one university-wide price.
• Scholarships are separate from fees. A scholarship may change what you actually pay, so the sticker fee and your net cost are not the same question.

How to get a figure you can budget with

1. Identify your category — Egyptian student or international student — since these are separate fee pages.
2. Identify your level and programme — undergraduate faculty, Masters, PhD, or a continuing-education/summer programme. Postgraduate fees sit under Postgraduate Studies, not under the main undergraduate fee pages.
3. Open the matching fee page from the Study menu and note the figure for your programme.
4. Check the Scholarships page for what you may qualify for, and whether it applies to your category and programme.
5. Confirm in writing with admissions (hotline +20 19283 or [email protected]) before committing. Ask specifically: the fee for your named programme, what the fee covers, whether it is fixed for the whole degree or revised annually, and how a scholarship would be applied.

Expected result: you end up with a programme-specific figure plus any scholarship adjustment, rather than a general university average.

Common sticking points

• Reading the wrong fee page. An international applicant using the Egyptian-student page (or the reverse) will get a misleading number.
• Assuming one fee covers all colleges. Because programmes are listed by faculty and by level, confirm the fee against the exact programme name, not just "BUE."
• Treating the scholarship page as a discount list. The site presents scholarships as an information section; eligibility and amounts need confirmation from admissions.
• Missing the admissions cycle. The homepage states admissions information for the 2027/2028 academic year is forthcoming ("Stay tuned"), so fee and scholarship details tied to a specific intake should be re-checked when that cycle opens.
• Overlooking additional costs. The site references university services and facilities but does not itemize non-tuition costs on the pages reviewed; ask admissions what else is billed.

What the site does say about value and recognition

For context when weighing cost, BUE states that it is accredited by the Supreme Council of Universities, holds QAA accreditation, has a membership with Advance HE, and ranked first among private universities in Egypt in the Young Universities Ranking 2024. It reports 12,000+ students, 1,000+ academic faculty staff, 500+ international students, and 20+ years of operation. These are the university's own claims as published on its site; they describe standing, not price.

For the actual amounts, the fee pages for your student category and programme are the only authoritative source, and admissions can confirm them for your intake.
