HE Mr. Ambassador of Spain in Cairo, Álvaro Iranzo, receives university students from the Arab Academy of Science, Technology and Maritime Transport in Alexandria before starting their studies in Barcelona
On February 26, 2023, around thirty university students from the Faculty of Media and Language of the "AASTMT" (Arab Academy of Science, Technology and Maritime Transport) visited the Spanish Embassy in Cairo.
HE Ambassador Álvaro Iranzo met with Dr. Samy Tayie, Advisor to the President of the Arab Academy, and the young students on the eve of their quarterly study stay in Barcelona as part of their academic program. One of the objectives of this visit is to prepare the students for their stay, which will begin in the coming days.
The " AASTMT " was founded in 1972 as a higher educational institution supported by the Arab League. Initially, its studies focused on Maritime Transport and Marine Sciences, and have since expanded to several disciplines. Spanish is one of the foreign languages taught at the Academy through an agreement with the Cervantes Institute.
The main objective of the program is for Egyptian students to deepen their preparation within a program with the Autonomous University of Barcelona ¨UAB¨, which has just celebrated its 10th anniversary.
