South Valley University (SVU) (Arabic: جامعة جنوب الوادي) is a university in Egypt that provides teaching and research facilities.^[1]

The President of South Valley University is Prof. Dr. Ahmed Akkawy Abdulaziz.^[2]

South Valley University is one of Egypt's more modern higher education institutions. It has 16 faculties split between its two campuses in Qena and Hurghada. Initially a branch of Assiut University, SVU was established in 1995.

It has a second campus in the coastal city of Hurghada, just south of where the Gulf of Suez meets the Red Sea. Hurghada is home to the faculty of education.

SVU has placed strongly among similar universities in the country in national rankings. Tuition fees are low for domestic and international students alike. More than a quarter of its students are postgraduates.

Other faculties include Arts, Law, Science, Special Education, Medicine, Veterinary Medicine, Nursing, Engineering, Commerce, Agriculture and Physical Education.

SVU previously owned a campus in the city of Sohag further upstream, but this became a separate institution, Sohag University, in 2006. SVU’s Faculties of Education, Engineering, Arts, Science and Social Work had a presence here.
