M.Sc. and Professional Master in Software Engineering

Over the last few years, Egypt witnessed significant growth in its communication and information technology industry in general and software development in particular. Different studies and indicators place Egypt among the countries with the highest potential growth in these sectors and foresee that the software industry could become one of the main contributors to Egypt's economy in the decades to come. One of the challenges, however, is the number of qualified technical professionals that would lead this effort and build the base for this promising industry.

There is a shortage of well-formed software architects, designers, team leaders, and project managers with the skills needed to really produce the scale and quality of software products that would place Egypt on the world's map in software development. It was therefore a strong motive for Nile University with its vision of "growing leaders of the technology-driven high-growth economy" to offer a graduate program specialized in fulfilling this need and help raise the standards of the Egyptian software industry to become competitive in the global market. The program aims at producing technically astute graduates with solid managerial, leadership, and communications skills, prepared for future roles as leaders in the software industry.
