The German University in Cairo Berlin Campus is the European arm of the German University in Cairo, founded in 2003 in Egypt and considered one of the largest German-style universities outside Germany. The Berlin campus opened in 2012 in the Adlershof Science and Technology Park in the south-east of the city, and welcomes around 300 students each year for modules of their Bachelor or Master programmes. Teaching focuses on Engineering, Information Technology, Pharmaceutical Sciences and Management, with strong ties to neighbouring institutes of the Humboldt-Universität, Fraunhofer and Helmholtz centres. The location in Adlershof, one of Germany's largest research parks, gives students direct access to the latest projects in photonics, biotech and digital media.
