Comprehensive agreement signed with Egypt’s Modern Group to establish overseas campus in Cairo

A representative delegation of Modern Group headed by President Walid Deabes visited yesterday, 9 March.

They were welcomed by Interim Rector Dmitry Tayursky, vice-rectors Marat Safiullin, Danis Nurgaliev, Andrey Kiyasov, Timirkhan Alishev, and others.

The Interim Rector showed a presentation of Kazan University, paying special attention its priorities – biomedicine, hydrocarbon technology, IT, materials science, and humanities.

Modern Group, established in Egypt in 1990, specializes in civil engineering for educational institutions. Since then, the company has opened offices in the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia, and has expanded into agriculture, media, healthcare, pharmaceutics, and petroleum chemistry. Several language school projects are currently underway. The company’s most sizable project is Modern University for Technology and Information.

In November 2021, a KFU delegation visited Cairo to conduct negotiations with Modern Group.

Yesterday, the two sides signed a cooperation agreement to establish a branch in Cairo. The branch is going to offer full-scale programs in general medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, physical therapy, and nursing. Russian language courses will also be available.

This overseas campus partnership is the biggest of its type ever for Kazan Federal University.
