1. FOUNDATION YEAR (34 CREDIT HOURS)
1.1. DESCRIPTION
The University of Science and Technology Foundation Courses are required for all majors during
the first year. Foundation courses (also known as access or bridging courses) bridge the gap
between the incoming qualifications and those needed to prepare you for progression onto
courses of the undergraduate degree at University of Science and Technology.

2. BIOMEDICAL SCIENCES (130 CREDIT HOUR)
2.1. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The Biomedical Science major is designed to provide students with basic and applied knowledge in the field of
biology as it applies to health and disease. In the first two years, students complete a common core foundation
of basic biology in an interdisciplinary approach. The students will then choose from four concentrations:
Molecular and Cell Biology, Medical Sciences, Computational Biology and Genomics, and Drug Design and
Development. Courses in each concentration cover specialized knowledge in the field, technical electives, and a
research thesis project. Upon graduation, students will be prepared to work in technical specialties in
pharmaceutical, chemical, diagnostics companies or drug discovery centers. They would also be able to join
research institutes and universities, continue postgraduate or professional degrees, or pursue leadership
positions in their fields.

3. MATERIALS SCIENCE (130 CREDIT HOUR)

The Materials Science program at University of Science and Technology (UST) provides
academic excellence in advanced material sciences and technologies through an
interdisciplinary education that covers materials from various perspectives. After getting a
solid foundation in Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics during the first two years, the
students start to explore advanced techniques for material modeling, synthesis and
characterization. During the fourth year, students can focus on studying advanced materials or
materials modeling. These concentrations are supported strongly with advanced research
facilities. Students will gain hands on experience in the development and characterization of
novel materials along with applications that have potential social, environmental and
economic benefits. The program is preparing students for careers in industry, education and
research, with the capability to compete and excel in the ever-expanding world of materials
science.

5. PHYSICS OF UNIVERSE (130 CREDIT HOUR)
The Physics of Universe, PU, Major is designed to provide the rigorous background in
Mathematics and Physical Sciences required for a career in theoretical, computational, or
experimental scientific research and/or education. During the first two years, all students will
take foundation courses in Basic Science and Mathematics, with an emphasis on Physics. They
are also exposed to the two concentration options available for advanced study: Astrophysics
and High Energy Physics. During the final two years students pursue advanced study within
their chosen area of concentration, together with advanced training in Physics. Each
concentration includes specialized instruction from Zewail City research center experts in
Theoretical Physics, Computational and Experimental Physics. The advanced Mathematical and
Computational skills of PU graduates can be readily transferred to many applications in business
and industry, as well as academic and government research.

Within a few years of graduation, physics of universe alumni will have:
 Gained employment in the field of astrophysics, high energy physics, and physics in
general; for Educational, Industrial, and Academic applications.
 Created value by analyzing and designing sustainable solutions to problems involving our
universe evaluation, the characteristics of its matter content and the forces governing it.
 Successfully engaged in advanced studies in high energy physics theory and lab, working
with groups around the world especially the Large Hadron Collider experiment.
 Actively participated in research development in astrophysics, in theoretical and
observational fronts.
 Facilitated collaboration and built strong professional relationships by working
successfully in multidisciplinary teams and effectively communicating with a diverse
group of stakeholders.

The aim of university requirements is to provide UST students with skills and knowledge to
develop an intellectual, well-rounded and successful personal identity. University requirements
is a set of Humanities and Social Sciences courses which are designed to enrich students with an
appreciative understanding of the natural and cultural environments in which they live and
their roles in the society and community services.
University Requirements (16 Cr)

Compulsory Courses (4 Cr)
Elective Courses (12 Cr)
Student must select at least 12 Cr from the offered General Education Courses
The aim of track requirements is to provide students of science programs with skills and
knowledge essential to develop a successful scientist. Track requirements include courses of
basic knowledge essential to all graduates of science programs such as Mathematics, Physics,
Chemistry, Biology, and Internship training.
