THE UNIVERSITIES OF LONDON AND CENTRAL LANCASHIRE TO OPEN SATELLITE CAMPUSES IN NEW CAPITAL

University of London and The University of Central Lancashire - UCLan are coming to Egypt with new satellite campuses set to open in the New Administrative Capital. Within the umbrella of a new project ‘European Universities in Egypt’, the two universities will be the first of a post-secondary mega-complex that is set to host other campuses by European universities.

The project bears more than a few similarities to the New Administrative Capital’s ‘Universities of Canada in Egypt’ which recently opened up a branch of Ryerson University, along with University of Prince Edward Island.

No exact news on when construction begins or when preliminary plans will be rolling out yet, but we’re confident it will exceed our expectations. Next up on the list; Universities of the United States. Just kidding (maybe?).

Among ancient civilizations Egypt pioneered in providing an enabling environment for women to shine as mothers, land owners, doctors, artists and queens. This article from National Geographic sheds light on how ancient Egyptian history continues to inspire to this day on the power of women, and how they rule differently with passion and dedication !

Egyptologist Kara Cooney has found that ancient Egypt turned to female leadership to rule and protect ancient Egypt in times of trouble. What lessons does the past hold for the women of today?
