It’s that time of the year again!
​
It’s time we offer a once in a lifetime opportunity for each and every medical, dental, pharmaceutical, and nursing student from all over the world. An opportunity that is going to fill your anticipating souls with exhilaration.
We’ve been locking ourselves up for a while for the sake of the World’s safety so now we ExEgypt Summer Schools (An AMSA Egypt International Event and EMSA-partner) are announcing the return of our very extraordinary yet easily joinable event; ‘ExEgypt Intercontinental Summer School 2023’.
ExEgypt is offering you an opportunity of scratching Egypt from the map of your visited places.
Here you are going to be a beloved friend, a good student and a storyteller.
So it’s that time of the year; that time of starting to think about what you are going to pack with you on your summer journey to Egypt, that time of thinking about the moments you're are going to collect in Egypt and it’s that time of taking a step towards ticking Egypt off your list.
