Im currently a first year studying in a private university just outside Cairo called "6th October University" having completed A-levels from England.

The way the system generally works in Egypt is:

You study for 6 years at your choice of a university - mind you, foreigners hardly get admitted to Al-Azhar University.

You are required to complete a one year clinical setting (training) at hospital - This can be carried out ANYWHERE in the world and not only in Egypt. I think the completion of this "housemanship" gives you registration with the Egyptian Medical Board as you are given your degree MBBS upon completion of the 6 years.


The good thing about Egypt is that most (im not sure if all) are WHO accredited meaning you are eligible to do the PLAB exam upon completion. If you are a Norwegian citizen the PLAB is NOT required and you may apply for registration (to work in the UK). I think this goes for anyone with EEA/EU citizenship wanting to work in the United Kingdom. Im sure the same applies for other European countries.

Oh, forgot to say- The course goes out in English along with the book/materials and exams, however, you may find some professors are not so keen on their English leve, talking a bit too much in Arabic but its good enough. You could always take private tuition which is inexpensive, especially around the Cairo area.

Do not hesitate to contact me if you need any more information regarding university/study in egypt.

Hope this helps.

Xaasid, actually the PLAB is required for all graduates from Non-EEA universities. So if you're going to be practising in the UK unfortunately you will have to sit the PLAB and join the groups of many unemployed doctors from the indian subcontinent. UK is not great for NON-EEA trained doctors thesedays. Each country has different system and I'm writing about the General Medical Council of UK requirements. Norway may be completely different case though!

Emailed the GMC couple of times and even phoned them. Its simple, if you are an EEA citizen (passport/nationality holder) then you are NOT REQUIRED TO SIT THE PLAB EXAMS AS LONG AS YOU QUALIFY FROM A GMC accepted university, thats according to the avienna directory or UN directory (one of the two). Infact, banadir university is on that list so technically if I studied there then I would not need to sit any exams being a norwegian national (falling into the EEA category). Whats funny though is a British UK Citizen would have to sit the PLAB if he or she studied outside the EEA....owned if you ask me xD


P.S Im now a third year at O6U (October 6 University) so if anyone needs to ask any questions hit me up :)

SCW.
 Bis Milaaah!
    Just wanted to cover few answers that you may have about studying medicine in Cairo, Egypt.
I live in Cairo, Egypt and I'm enrolled in Cairo Univeristy medical school in my last years. Few of the questions I want to answer is 1-Which university has the best medical school in Cairo? and 2-What are the tuitions?

Answers:
- In general there is about 5 Medical schools in Cairo and 3 of which is public and 2 is private, usually its about 6 years of schooling and 1 year of intership, the public medical schools include Cairo university medical school, Ain Shams medical school, and Azhar medical school which is unique' the private medical schools are 6 October medical school and Misr medical school.
 
-Azhar is unique as Dr.Misk described, you must go through Azhar highschool in order to get to their medical school with high marks, if you have not attended Azhar high school you will not get accepted and the tuition usually is through scholarship for all Azhar univerisity students.

-Cairo and Ain Shams medical schools are different, you can graduate any high school within Cairo, Egypt or abroad and still apply and will get accepted if you reach their requirements and what not, the tuition fee's for Cairo and Ain Shams medical schools can be one of 2, you may get scholarship and if not required to pay a fee of 3000 pound sterling for the 1st year and the following 5 years 1500 pound sterling.

-6 October and Misr medical schools are more private schools and more expensive, there is no scholarships and tuition is about 5000 dollars US per a semester for 6 October and about 4000 per semester for Misr univeristy.

NB: In General all universities are good and the knowledge is pretty much the same the only difference's is as I mentioned above.

NB: The books and exams are all in the English language but professors in all the univeristies I mentioned may deliver the lecture in arabic, so to know or have an idea about the arabic language is an asset.

NB: The only universities which go by GPA systems as in semesters are the private universities only, which is 6 October and Misr Universities, Cairo and Ain Shams universities go by annual exams which is about 80% final marks and hence no GPA system.

NB: I recommend students traveling from North America and Europe who don't have much backround of the Arabic to enroll in the private schools and will gradually adapt to it where as the public univiersities is more of a little husle.
 
    I hope that answers much of your questions and worries about Cairo,Egypt Med schools and what not. Best Wishes to all med students and may Allah be pleased of us and guide us to the right path.

Any further questions it would be my pleasure.
Salaam 3alaykum.
