Professor Shadia Fahim stressed that cooperation between academic and professional educational institutions is the most efficient way to support students and graduates. The Faculty of Arts and Humanities at the British University in Egypt has been keen since its start to provide all students with an educational environment that helps them to gain skills and knowledge according to the latest scientific and educational curricula adopted in Egypt and the United Kingdom, in order to develop the functional skills that students need in the labour market.
