The school seeks to become the leading educational institution for economics and politics in the MENA region; it aims at preparing its graduates to be both economists, and political scientists to face recent ongoing international changes, be active political actors, lead countries, and shape their futures.

This stems from the belief that strong educational background, good management of soft skills and analytical tools, as well as continuous interaction with experts and professionals, through extracurricular activities, are all important in shaping a successful generation.

NGU's School of Economics and Politics is to be a hub for developing a distinguished group of professors, researchers, and students in the various economic and political disciplines, who can innovate and lead the society towards further academic, scientific and applied progress in Egypt and the Arab region.
