Professional Diploma Students Gain Wider Pathways Towards Academic Postgraduate Study

Engineer Yousef Al-Naham, Chief Executive Officer of Cambridge Consulting & Education and representative of Cairo University in Kuwait, announced that new students wishing to join professional degree and diploma pathways may benefit from the latest Egyptian government decision related to the regulation of professional degrees and diplomas within Egyptian universities.

Al-Naham explained that, under the applicable regulations, a student who obtains a professional bachelor’s degree or professional licentiate may continue studying in the same faculty or institute to pursue the academic degree awarded by that faculty or institute, in accordance with the requirements determined by the Supreme Council of Universities and the approved internal regulations.

He welcomed new students interested in obtaining professional diplomas through Cambridge in Kuwait, noting that students who submitted their documents after 25 January 2026 are the ones concerned with the new regulation, as it is intended to apply prospectively.

According to Cambridge’s representation agreement with Cairo University, the university grants professional diplomas to Kuwaiti, international and Egyptian students through a number of faculties, including Early Childhood Education, Commerce, Dar Al-Ulum, Mass Communication and Agriculture.

Al-Naham referred to the decision published in the Egyptian Official Gazette, issue 44 bis, dated 25 January 2026, which includes the addition of an article to Egypt’s Universities Regulation Law. The article allows university councils, based on the request of the relevant faculty or institute council, to grant professional degrees and diplomas, including the professional bachelor’s degree or licentiate, professional diploma, professional master’s degree and professional doctorate, in specialisations determined by each faculty or institute’s internal regulations.

He confirmed that the decision applies to new students who apply after its issuance and does not apply to current students or graduates who were enrolled before the decision was issued.
