The German University in Cairo (abbreviated to GUC; Arabic: الجامعة الألمانية بالقاهرة El Gam‘a El Almāniya Bel Qāhira) is a private non-profit university in New Cairo, Egypt.

The study programs are designed according to German standards and are accredited in Egypt and Germany (by ACQUIN).

Far more than 10,000 students are enrolled at GUC, which has become the largest transnational education institute from the German perspective.

The Federal Foreign Office lists GUC first among the ten educational institutions currently being promoted.

"The first ‘German’ private university abroad (established as a private institution under Egyptian law) is of great political importance in the longstanding tradition of German-Egyptian education cooperation, which started more than a hundred years ago when German parochial schools were established in Cairo and Alexandria.
