Now MSA enjoys a unique standing in higher education among all the Universities in Egypt and the Middle East, being the first and foremost university whose programmes are validated by Bedfordshire University and the University of Greenwich in the United Kingdom. MSA graduates stand on equal footing with their peers in the UK and enjoy the same advantages: they attend the same graduation ceremony with their UK peers in London, their credit hours at MSA are accepted in the UK Universities at any point of time during the term of their study, and they can pursue post graduate degrees there. MSA has been recognized by the Supreme Council of Universities in Egypt, which accredited all MSA programmes. Validation is the process of having the same level of British curriculum, educational offerings and standards in Egypt. Thus, MSA graduates hold two bachelor degrees; British from the British universities, in addition to the degrees obtained from MSA which is accredited by the Supreme Council of Egyptian Universities. MSA graduates enjoy a notable rate of immediate employment in multinational and renowned national firms.
