Port Said, Egypt · Founded 2010
Port Said University
A growing public university in Port Said, offering Medicine and Nursing among its health-science academic pathways in a strategic coastal city location.
Overview
Port Said University was established in 2010 as an independent public university, having previously operated as a branch of Suez Canal University. It now comprises around 14 faculties, including a Faculty of Medicine and a separate Faculty of Nursing.
As a newer university, Port Said's medical and health-science faculties are smaller and less internationally established than Egypt's older Cairo- and Alexandria-based faculties — worth weighing alongside its more modest cost base and strategic coastal location.
Port Said is a smaller canal city on Egypt's Mediterranean coast, at the northern entrance to the Suez Canal.
Medicine programme
Port Said University offers Medicine through its Faculty of Medicine, and Nursing through its separate Faculty of Nursing. As a newer university, admission routes and international arrangements for these faculties should be confirmed directly with the university for your specific pathway and intake.
- Duration
- Generally in line with the standard Egyptian structure (around five years plus a one-year internship for Medicine) — Bridgeway confirms the exact structure for your intake.

Admission is decided solely by Port Said University, based on its own published entry requirements for each faculty.
