Administrative Capital, and not only as a dean of the London ● Finally, what advice does Prof. Hala Abou Ali have for our
School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). The faculty’s students and graduates?
university hosts 30 different academic programs under the I encourage students to take advantage of their time at the Faculty of
academic supervision of 7 of the member institutes of the Economics and Political Science, where there is a plenty of
University of London including: Economics, Political esteemed professors and the various activities are at a competitive
Sciences, Finance, Management, Law, Psychology, Data level to its counterparts worldwide. Also, Take advantage of the
Science and Computer Sciences; a program that has various ability to establish yourselves in a balanced way between academic
unique departments that encourage innovation and creativity excellence and extracurricular activities.
and thus attract many students and even graduates such as:
Virtual Reality, Artificial Intelligence and Game
Development.
I think that the idea of hosting these branches is an excellent
one if implemented well and shall add a lot to the higher
education in Egypt since the LSE is ranked 2nd in the world
in social sciences and Management - after Harvard - and UCL
comes 8th in the international ranking of universities the 15th
in law. Also, it will be an opportunity to get a similar degree
from the hosted European universities in Egypt without the
need to travel abroad, because students who study abroad at
that age often end up settling there. In addition, these
partnerships increase the provision of interaction based on
engagement and deep knowledge of emerging technologies.
Moreover, it provides a potential for partnerships in the
scientific research, as well as receiving more students from
Arab and Asian countries to study, here in Egypt, where
cultures are more alike. Thus, it strengthens Egypt's position
in higher education in the Arab region. Finally, this will
increase competition among universities to improve the
quality of education and increase the competing ability of the
students themselves among their peers worldwide and in the
main branch of the university in London as they are ranked
globally among them.
