Admission

1. General Requirements

E-JUST offers admission to applicants who appear to have the highest potential for graduate study and who, with the benefit of a graduate education, are the most likely to contribute substantially to their academic or professional fields through teaching, research, or professional practice.

2. Minimum Requirements

1. Bachelor’s degree or recognized equivalent from a recognized institution;
2. Enough undergraduate training to do graduate work in the chosen field;
3. Satisfactory scholastic average, usually a minimum grade-point average (GPA) of 3.0 (equivalent to grade B).

Satisfying minimal standards, however, does not guarantee your admission, since the number of qualified applicants may exceed the number of places available. As a result, many well-qualified applicants cannot be accommodated.

3. MSc and PhD Requirements

Admission decisions are based on a combination of factors, including academic degrees and records, letters of recommendation, test scores, and relevant work experience. E-JUST also considers the appropriateness of your goals to the degree program in which you are interested and to the research interests of the program’s faculty.

• Required Tests

a- Graduate Record Examination (GRE) [Standardized test required by each department]
b- Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) [Minimum score of 550]

• Letters of Recommendations/References

At least three letters of recommendation are required. Applicant is responsible for forwarding these forms to your recommenders. All letters of recommendation should be submitted directly to the department to which you are applying. Your recommenders are asked to give their personal impressions of your intellectual ability, your aptitude in research or professional skills, your character, and the quality of your previous work and potential for future productive scholarship.

• Academic Work for Domestic Applicants

You must hold or expect to hold prior to the beginning of classes a bachelor’s degree from an Egyptian Institution accredited by the Universities Supreme Council in Egypt.

• Required Records for Domestic Applicants

Submit official transcripts of all university-level work. Official transcripts must be in sealed envelopes as issued by the Institution(s) you have attended. Request a current transcript from every post-secondary Institution that you have attended.

• Academic Work for International Applicants

Graduates of recognized academic institutions outside Egypt should have completed degree programs representing a minimum of 16 years of schooling with at least 12 years at the primary and secondary level.

• Required Records for International Applicants

Submit official transcripts or academic records for all university-level studies you have completed abroad and at Egyptian institutions. If your academic records do not include official evidence of the award of your degree, you must also submit additional documents that verify its award. For information about the documents required for an initial review of your application, contact the department or program to which you are applying.

• Transfer of Credit from other Institutions

Up to six credit hours of course work you have taken elsewhere can be credited toward the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees if
(a) the work was taken in graduate status at an accredited institution
(b) it did not form part of a program for a degree previously awarded at E-JUST or elsewhere
(c) the grade received was at least a “B”. Acceptance is subject to the approval of the Graduate Division upon recommendation of the department concerned. Transfer of credit will not reduce your academic residence.
