The Protocol of the Credit Hour System The Protocol of the Credit Hour System for Undergraduates for Undergraduates in Faculty of Science, Cairo University in Faculty of Science, Cairo University
Article (1) The Faculty includes 10 Departments: Mathematics Department. Physics Department. Chemistry Department. Botany Department. Zoology Department. Geology Department. Entomology Department. Astronomy and Meteorology Department. Biophysics Department. Geophysics Department.
Article (2) According to the faculty board, the university grants 26 Scientific Degree (BSC Science) in the following specializations: 12 single specialization and 14 double specialization. The Study and Exams are in English language. The faculty takes students from high school (science and math sectors). Students can be specialized from the 2nd year to one of the following specializations:
Specializations for students belongs to Math sector Specializations for students belongs to Science sector Specializations for students belongs to both sections Mathematics Computer Science Statistics (frozen course) Mathematics /Statistics Mathematics /Computer Science Mathematics /Astronomy Chemistry/Zoology Chemistry/Entomology Chemistry/Botany Chemistry/Microbiology Chemistry/Biochemistry Geology Physics/Astronomy Physics/meteorology Geophysics Chemistry/Geology Physics Communication physics (frozen course) Mathematics /Physics Physics Astronomy Biophysics chemistry Chemistry/Physics Geo-Petrolium Science (with Fees) Space science Biotechnology (with Fees) in accordance with the rules of the executive protocol of the Universities Regulation Law.
Article (3) The B. Sc. special degree (single specialization) is granted in the following specializations: Chemistry. Mathematics. Statistics. Computer Science. Physics. Communication Physics. Biophysics. Astronomy. Space Science. Geology. Geophysics. Other single specializations are established in accordance with the rules of the executive protocol of the Universities Regulation Law.
Article (4) The B. Sc. general degree (double specialization) is granted in the following specializations: Chemistry/Physics. Chemistry/Geology. Chemistry/Zoology. Chemistry/Botany. Chemistry/Microbiology. Chemistry/Biochemistry. Chemistry/Entomology and Environmental Health. Physics/Mathematics. Physics/Astronomy. Physics/Meteorology. Mathematics/Astronomy. Geology/Geophysics. Other double specialization could be established according to the rules of the executive protocol of the Universities Regulation Law.
Specialized Scientific Program (SSP) Petrolium Sciences Biotechnology/Molecular Biochemistry Requirements: Requirements: - Get the grades prerequisite to the faculty through - Get the grades prerequisite to the faculty university coordination office through university coordination office - 90% in English - 90% in English - Pass interview with faculty staffs, representatives - Pass interview from companies and scientific centers. - Selection according to the highest grades - Selection according to the highest grades (high (high school) in both Chemistry and Physics school) in both Mathematics and Physics
Article (5) The credit hour system (2 semesters) is the system of study adopted by the Faculty.
Article (6) The period of study to obtain a B. Sc. degree is 4 academic years, according to the article 48 in the executive protocol of the Universities Regulation Law. Through this period, 4 study levels are attained. Each level covers two semesters, intervened by the midyear vacation.
Article (7) The academic semester extends for 17 weeks including: a) One week for registration. b) 14 weeks of study. c) Two weeks for the exams. The first semester starts every year by the 3rd Saturday of September.
Article (8) Credit hour definition: a- For lectures: A credit hour equals a weekly hour lecture during the academic semester. b- For practical and applied periods: A credit hour equals an applied or practical period of 2 or 3 hours/week during the academic semester.
Article (9) I- Requirements for The B. Sc. graduation are: 1) 8 credit hours as University requirements including the following: A) 2 credit hours for computer sciences. B) 2 credit hours for English language. C) 2 credit hour course for human rights. D) 2 credit hours for humanities in one of the following: Principles of Management and Accounting, Islamic culture, Arabic language, Introduction to law, Environmental culture, History and Philosophy of Science.
Article (9) cont. II- 30 credit hours as Faculty requirements, all through in the first level and include: A)18 credit hours equally divided among Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics. B)12 credit hours for: Geology, Zoology, Botany, Entomology, Biology, Astronomy and Space Science, Mechanics, Algebra, Biophysics, Geophysics.
Article (9) cont. III- Specialization requirements: A) For the award of the special B. Sc. degree (single specialization), 108 credit hours are determined by the concerned department. B) For the award of the General B. Sc. Degree (double specialization), 108 credit hours are equally divided between the two major (specialization) subjects. C) All students should perform a six weeks training period in one of the institutions related to his/her specialization during summer vacation in consultation with the academic adviser (No credit given).
Requirements for admission to the various specializations and requirements for their academic departments
There are 12 credit hours required by the Faculty from among several branches. The various departments of the Faculty require for their specializations that the student (science and math sectors) must pass some courses at the first level to be qualified to join these specializations:
