CIC Cairo

The Canadian International College (CIC) is the first Canadian educational provider established in Egypt. As an Associate Campus to Cape Breton University (CBU), CIC’s first campus was founded in 2004 with a mission to provide world-class education. Extending the borders of their success, CIC’s second campus was established in 2012. CIC is home to 15,000+ students, and 10,000+ alumni who are excelling locally and globally.

Through its partnership with CBU, CIC offers internationally recognized articulated undergraduate degrees in Arts, Business Administration, Engineering Technology and Technology Information which are accredited by the Supreme Council of Universities and the Egyptian Ministry of Higher Education, and by CBU (Dual Option). By providing quality assurance and ensuring a priority of academic excellence, the CIC/CBU relationship is thriving.
