October University for Modern Sciences and Arts (Arabic: جامعة أكتوبر للعلوم الحديثة والآداب) is a prominent private university located in Giza, Egypt.[1] [2] It was founded in 1999 by Dr. Nawal El-Degwi, a pioneer of the Egyptian private education. The university is accredited by the Egyptian and British ministry of education and a graduate student can study in Britain without any equivalence.
MSA was established in 1996.
The university has nine faculties:
MSA was the pioneer in Egypt to validate its programs with British Universities in 2002.
It is the first Egyptian university to grant its graduates a dual-origin bachelor's degree; namely a British degree from Middlesex (2002-2014), Bedfordshire (2014-present) or Greenwich (2002–present) universities, and another Egyptian degree which is accredited by the Egyptian Supreme Council for Universities. Thus, MSA University graduates enjoy the privilege of attaining scholarships and have the chance to pursue their MA and PhD studies in the United Kingdom.
