ESLSCA University was established in 1949 in France. In the 1960s, this original ESLSCA began to internationalise its degrees and develop global partners. By the 1990s, ESLSCA was offering graduate degree courses in Egypt.
Today, ESLSCA University offers undergraduate and postgraduate courses through its school of business administration and school of computing and digital technology.
ESLSCA has four city campuses, in Cairo, Giza and Alexandria. Its headquarters is in the picturesquely named Pyramid Heights, in Giza (which is famed for its pyramids). These campuses are all deliberately city-based, in order to provide students with easy access to the university’s corporate partners.
The university prioritises social impact, and encourages students to volunteer or work with non-profit organisations outside the classroom.
Students are also invited to join a range of extracurricular societies, ranging from the arts-based – including theatre, fashion and carving – to the sporting. Those students looking to acquire leadership skills can run awareness campaigns or organise campus events, such as concerts.
