Ain Shams University, as the third Egyptian university, was founded in July 1950 under the name of \"Ibrahim Pasha University\".
It participated with the two earlier universities, \"Cairo University\" (Fua'd the 1st ) and \"Alexandria University\" (Farouk the 1st) in fulfilling the message of universities and meeting the increasing demand of youth for higher education. When it was first established, Ain Shams University comprised a number of distinguished faculties and academic institutes, which were later developed into university.
