[edit] History
The Canadian International College (CIC) was established in 2004. The official opening was held in the presence of the Nova Scotia Minister of Education & the Egyptian Minister of Higher Education in May 2004. It is an associate campus of Cape Breton University (CBU), located in Nova Scotia, Canada. CIC has programs in Business and Engineering and Mass Communication, and grants both Canadian university degrees from Cape Breton University, and Egyptian degrees accredited by the Egyptian Ministry of Higher Education. CIC’s admission standards comply with admission requirements at CBU, and academic performance is monitored by CBU. CIC’s ongoing quality assurance measures ensure CIC students receive the same programming as their CBU counterparts.
[edit] Campus
CIC was built over a total area of about 25,000 square meters with buildings amounting to only 13% of the land, and the rest covered by green & sports areas. Future expansions were added to the campus later in 2008 including a new building and recreational areas.
[edit] Cooperative Education
It is CIC’s mission to play a key role in the technological advancement of Egyptian industry. CIC is striving to provide industry with well-educated employees possessing the appropriate knowledge, skills and experience needed for such advancement. The Cooperative education program gives students the opportunity to enrich their education by alternating periods of classroom study with up to four periods of off-campus work experience. CIC provides its students with internship opportunities in some of the leading businesses in Egypt. Each work experience period is two-and-a-half to four months in duration, and involves students in supervised, paid, full-time work related to their areas of study.
The combination of theory and practice during the academic year provides a meaningful context for learning, in addition to providing students with the necessary skills to excel in their fields. CIC has mutual agreements with major local, Arab and international companies to provide Co-op jobs for its students.
