Futures University in Egypt Celebrates Class of 2023 at Graduation Ceremony
On 26th September 2023, Prof Brendan Griffin, Head of School of Pharmacy, and Prof Stephen Byrne, Deputy President and Registrar, represented University College Cork at the graduation ceremony of students of the Pharmacy degree which is jointly developed and delivered by staff of Futures University in Egypt (FUE) and University College Cork. Also in attendance was Ms Nuala O'Brien, Ambassador of Ireland in Egypt.
The UCC/FUE collaboration began over 10 years ago in 2011/2012. Following a number of visits between senior academic staff at both UCC and FUE, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed in 2014. UCC and FUE now work in collaboration to deliver and assess agreed modules and learning outcomes which are accredited by the Egyptian Minister for Education and the Pharmacy Regulator in Egypt.
