The University campus covers approximately 40 acres (fedans) of land. The available space within the buildings is 27000 m².

BUE degrees are supported by a group of UK Universities led by Loughborough University. Other British universities are involved in the BUE including Exeter University in a co-operation for an Arab and Islamic Studies Centre. The teaching staff consists of highly-qualified British and Egyptian academics experienced in the British system of Higher Education.

The BUE currently has three main faculties – Engineering, Computer Science and Business Administration.

BUE degrees are accredited by the Supreme Council of Egyptian Universities as degrees from the British University in Egypt but also by Loughborough University.

The University is rapidly developing an institutional research profile and a significant number of internationally-recognised, research-active staff have been engaged in academic positions. BUE’s vision is to be regarded as a leading University in Egypt and it aspires to be established as a world-class institution within the next 10 years.
