The British University in Egypt (BUE; Arabic: الجامعة البريطانية فى مصر, romanized: Al-Jāmi‘a al-Bāritāneya fe-Mīsr) is a private Egyptian university in El Shorouk City, Cairo, Egypt. Founded in September 2005,[7] through an inter-governmental agreement, it provides a British education style and awards degrees validated by its partner UK universities and the Egyptian Supreme Council of Universities.[8]

The main university campus is located approximately 30 km (19 mi) from downtown Cairo, the campus covers about 40 acres (16 ha) of land with some 27,000 m2 (290,000 sq ft) of space of modern purpose-built teaching facilities.[9] According to the Center for World University Ranking (CWUR), the BUE was ranked in 2020 among the top 10 universities in Egypt.[10][11] In December 2022, Sir Magdi Yacoub, an internationally renowned cardiologist, has been selected to serve as the first honorary chancellor of the university.[12][13]
