We are enthusiastic to bring about virtual change in the communities around us, which is a shared responsibility by all our staff members, students and collaborative partners from other institutions and industry. We are constantly striving to challenge the existing knowledge about our physical world, and committed to allow for intellectual growth of young minds. To make these goals a reality, my top priority will revolve around the success of all students who reside at the centre of our faculty mission. I believe that expanding the boundaries of our thoughts about what is possible is achievable through the provision of academically challenging programs. Our Faculty is comprised of some important specialties in the Egyptian Universities: Oceanography, Biochemistry, Geophysics, and Environmental Sciences. Our Oceanography and Environmental Sciences departments are currently playing a key role in the society and tackling contemporary marine and inland environmental problems. In brief, I am confident that our sincere efforts for pursuit of excellence will create a better place for students and staff to imagine and explore the impossible.
