    Admission to the Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport (AASTMT) consists of three phases as follows:

      Early Admission Phase:
    • New candidates may apply before high school results are released; and are required to pay the admission fees and early enrollment deposit from the tuition fees.
    • AASTMT accepts early payment of tuition fees which allows candidates to pay the tuition fees before July 1st, 2021 with a partial scholarship of 5% discount from the total tuition fees of the first semester (2021/2022) under the condition that the candidate fulfils the admission requirements upon the release of high school grades. Candidates may request a refund of tuition fees with an automatic deduction of 25% from the fees till the end of the third week of classes after which no refund is possible.
    • If the candidate for any reason does not fulfill all admission requirements after high school results are released, he/she has will get an automatic refund of tuition fees and will not be admitted to AASTMT

      • Second & Third Admission Phases:
    • Candidates may apply to colleges that have vacancies after high school results are released until the end of the admission period
    • The admission decision is announced for every phase onhttps://aastmtic2.aast.edu/tansik/ within one week of the announcement of the Supreme Council the admission requirements for this year.

All applicants must sit for the English Placement Exam or submit an official copy of TOEFL/IELTS exam.

Applicants who are planning to join programs, in which the medium of instruction is the English Language, are required to fulfill a certain score in the exam. Applicants who fail to meet the specified criteria may attend the preparatory course offered before reattempting the exam.

On the other hand, the applicants who are planning to join the Arabic Section in any major will be accepted regardless of their score, but will be given one preparatory course in English.

AASTMT aims to accept the best candidates who will make use of the outstanding academic standards and resources provided by the institution. We will evaluate each application with care and consideration, and it is worth mentioning that meeting the admission requirements does not mean that the applicant is accepted.

AASTMT will accept the best candidates for each major based on their academic records as well as their achievements in extracurricular activities.

Admissions Decision is announced on https://aastmtic2.aast.edu/tansik/.

Students who have withdrawn from AASTMT or took an unplanned leave of absence may apply to be re-admitted during 4 semesters from leaving the institution (ie 2 academic years). Re-admission applications are not automatically approved and AASTMT reserves the right to reject any application. Re-admitted students will be required to pay the tuition fees for new students in the current semester.

Applicants who have successfully completed courses in an accredited university in Egypt or abroad may apply to join AASTMT as transfer students. They are required to submit an official transcript and course descriptions to the Deanery of Admissions and Registration before the Admissions deadline. The concerned academic department will evaluate the applicant's records and may consider transferring courses in which the applicant have scored at least C (equivalent to unconditional pass in institutions that do not follow the Credit Hour System) after reviewing the course content. Students must study 50% at least of the total number of credits required for graduation at AASTMT. The courses transferred will be deducted from the total number of credits required for the program but will be listed as TR courses and will not affect the student's GPA.

The admission decision is totally separate from transfer of courses. Applicants must fulfill AASTMT admission requirements to be accepted as transfer students regardless of the number of credit hours successfully completed at any other institution. The numbers of years spent at the previous institution are included in the maximum number of years of study allowed for each program.

Students enrolled in accredited universities in Egypt and abroad are allowed to enroll as visiting students. They are allowed to spend maximum 2 semesters (or 36 credits hours) as visiting students and will be given a transcript of courses completed at AASTMT with the corresponding grades.

Those students may opt to apply to become fulltime students, but are required to pass through the regular admissions cycle. AASTMT reserves the right to reject any application based on High School grades or past academic records at previous institution(s).
