Congratulations on choosing the Faculty of Financial and Administrative Sciences (FFAS) at Pharos University, Alexandria, for your study. FFAS is one of the few faculties that promise a prosperous career and help you occupy a bright position in the employment market as well as a distinguished stand in society.

At FFAS, we have prepared for you a set of specialized subjects that suits you and meets the job requirements in the areas of Accounting, Business Economics, Entrepreneurship, Investment and Finance, Management Information System, Marketing and International Business. These streams of specialization prepare and provide you with the right qualifications for working in the financial sector, such as banks, stock exchanges, insurance, and other financial and investment firms, as well as in the industrial and commercial sectors, in both national and multi-national companies.
The system of study at FFAS is based on approved credit hours which are delivered by means of lectures and tutorials. The practical side is also embedded in the course through inviting practitioner and senior directors from the financial and industrial sectors to give special lectures and seminars with a view to reflecting on their own experience and providing our students with practical guidance and advice. Training is also available and for the last two years we have had a number of students training in the surrounding banks and industrial companies. In the final year a project is also included in the course, which is meant to extend your knowledge in a particular topic of your choice within the study plan.
With well designed programs that meet the employment market requirements, fine selection of academic members of staff, most of whom graduated from Western universities with some having many years of teaching experience in Britain and elsewhere, first class teaching facilities, a variety of social and sports amenities, FFAS, and Pharos University, provides you with an exceptionally productive and pleasant learning environment and a chance to develop your own network of future prosperous and successful business mates.
I very much look forward to welcoming you at FFAS personally.
