What Egypt-Japan University of Science and Technology does

E-JUST (Egypt-Japan University of Science and Technology) is a public research university established in 2009 by bilateral agreement between the Egyptian and Japanese governments, located in New Borg El-Arab City, Alexandria. It operates under joint oversight of a Board of Trustees with representatives from both governments and applies a Japanese educational model emphasizing active learning, laboratory-based experimentation, and project-based education across six faculties: Engineering, Basic and Applied Science, International Business and Humanities, Computer Science and Information Technology, Pharm D, and Art and Design. With 109 faculty (including ~100 dispatched annually by JICA), 4,623 undergraduates, and 312 postgraduates, the institution delivers education supported by 50+ advanced laboratories and a research output of approximately 75 patents filed, ranking No. 1 in patent filing among Egyptian non-profit and international branch campuses. JICA's $50M+ contribution finances Japanese faculty and laboratories, while the Egyptian government funds facilities and local staff costs under a cumulative investment exceeding 10 billion EGP.

The university's revenue model combines government funding (Egyptian Ministry of Higher Education for facilities, local salaries, and opex; JICA for Japanese faculty and equipment), tuition and academic fees (offset by 95% postgraduate scholarship coverage funded by the Ministry, JICA, and corporate sponsors including Mitsubishi and Toyota), and a smaller industry-services stream delivered through the Industry and Community Support Cluster (ICSC). The ICSC consolidates CINTECH (consulting, R&D, IP advice), TMD (testing and measurement), ITU (corporate training), and the Dragon Incubator (startup support), serving Egyptian and Japanese corporate clients such as El Ezz Steel, El Araby, CIB, Abu Qir Fertilizers, Elsewedy Cables, NATPACK, Target Chemicals, and Yazaki. Student housing generates a disclosed fee stream (8,000–12,800 EGP per semester depending on room type). E-JUST recruits students via the Egyptian government admission system, TICAD scholarships for African students (150 master's slots historically, expanded under TICAD 9 in 2025), and exchange agreements with 13 Japanese partner universities including Tokyo Institute of Technology, Waseda, Tsukuba, Hiroshima, Ritsumeikan, and Kyushu. The student experience is supported by an in-house digital platform stack (Moodle LMS, Student Affairs Portal, Housing and Transportation systems) and a mobile application.
