520	3		_aAbstract: Education is vital sector in the growing Egyptian economy. Education in Egypt is one of the sectors that has enjoyed growth in the past several years. This is due to Egypt’s large youth base and growing population. This has drawn the attention of both the Egyptian government as well as private entities to invest in this growing and promising sector. In 2018 Egypt has passed a law allowing foreign universities to open branches in Egypt for the first time in Egyptian history. The growing market need for higher education and government support through legislation and licensing has prompted further investment from private entities growing private universities and institutions. While the ever-growing Egyptian population poses an opportunity for Nile University to grow its market share, the increased flexibility of establishing new private universities as well as the newly passed law allowing foreign universities to open branches in Egypt, will likely increase competition for Nile University with the potential threat of losing market share and diminishing financial returns. Accordingly, Nile University needs to differentiate its offerings to remain competitive today and in the future. Adopting new educational concepts and technologies can be one of the differentiators that Nile University can pursue. In this project, several educational concepts and technologies were studied along with the study of the Nile University current undergraduate degrees to choose a number of educational concepts and technologies to apply at Nile University undergraduate degree level. The School of Biotechnology was chosen from among the four Nile University schools for the study and later on testing of the chosen concepts and technologies. Based on the study of the literature, and feedback from Nile University faculty, students and IT team, the study identified the following technologies and methodologies to be tested at Nile University School of Biotechnology as a sample • Learning outside the classroom • AR/VR vi • Microlearning These technologies and methodologies would positively improve the Nile University students’ experience, engagement, and overall learning. Testing those technologies will require planning and synergies between faculty, IT team and administration at Nile University
