It was created as an independent university by presidential decree in 2005, having grown out of a branch of Cairo University that had operated in the city since the mid-1970s.该校于 2005 年依总统令成为独立大学，其前身是 1970 年代中期起在贝尼苏韦夫运作的开罗大学分校。

It is one of the largest universities in Upper Egypt, with 32 faculties and an institute, and it serves a largely agricultural province whose economy rests on cotton, grain and the Nile valley.该校是上埃及规模最大的大学之一，设有 32 个学院与 1 个研究所，服务于一个以棉花、粮食与尼罗河谷农业为经济基础的省份。

History

• The institution's earliest root is the Faculty of Commerce opened in Beni Suef in 1975 as a faculty of Cairo University, an outpost of the capital's oldest modern university in the Nile valley south of Cairo.该校最早的源头是 1975 年在贝尼苏韦夫开办的商学院，当时它作为开罗大学的一个学院，是这所首都历史最悠久的现代大学在开罗以南尼罗河谷的延伸。
• In 1976 the Egyptian state formalised the arrangement as a Cairo University branch in Beni Suef, part of a wider programme of provincial expansion pursued under President Anwar Sadat.1976 年，埃及政府把这一安排正式定为开罗大学贝尼苏韦夫分校，属于安瓦尔·萨达特总统任内推行的省域高教扩张计划的一部分。
• The Beni Suef branch belonged to the same wave of provincial expansion that produced Zagazig University, Menoufia University and Fayoum University, all founded to keep students in their home governorates.贝尼苏韦夫分校与扎加齐格大学、梅努菲亚大学、法尤姆大学同属那一轮省域扩张的产物，这些院校的设立都是为了让本省学生就近就读。
• The branch was planted in the provincial capital rather than in a rural district so that students from Beni Suef and the neighbouring governorates of Minya and Fayoum could study without moving to Cairo.分校设在省会而非乡村地区，使贝尼苏韦夫以及邻近明亚省、法尤姆省的学生无需迁往开罗即可求学。
• Through the 1980s and 1990s the branch added faculties in law, arts, education, science and medicine, gradually assembling the profile of a comprehensive university rather than a single-purpose college.在 1980 年代与 1990 年代，分校陆续增设法学、文学、教育、理学与医学等学院，逐步形成综合性大学而非单一专门学院的格局。
• In 2005 a presidential decree detached the branch from Cairo University and erected it as Beni-Suef University with its own council, budget and degree-granting authority.2005 年，一项总统令使分校脱离开罗大学，升格为贝尼苏韦夫大学，拥有独立的校务委员会、预算与学位授予权。
• The new university inherited eleven faculties from the branch, namely commerce, law, veterinary medicine, arts, science, education, medicine, nursing, industrial education, engineering and physical education.新大学从分校继承了十一个学院，即商学院、法学院、兽医学院、文学院、理学院、教育学院、医学院、护理学院、工业教育学院、工程学院与体育教育学院。
• Teaching follows a two-semester year in all faculties except medicine, where each class runs for fifteen weeks and is followed by an examination whose result is confirmed at the end of the academic year.除医学院外，各学院均实行两学期制；医学院每段课程为期十五周，随后举行考试，成绩于学年末统一确认。
• The number of graduates produced by the Beni Suef faculties since teaching began reached 62,321 by 2007, a figure that illustrates how quickly the branch had become a mass university.自开始办学至 2007 年，贝尼苏韦夫各学院累计培养毕业生 62,321 人，这一数字说明分校在短时间内已发展为规模庞大的大学。
• After 2005 the university added a faculty of computers and artificial intelligence and a faculty of pharmacy to the inherited core, broadening its offer beyond the classic Egyptian faculties.2005 年之后，学校在原有基础上陆续增设计算机与人工智能学院与药学院，使学科布局超出埃及传统的学院配置。
• Administration rests with a president and three vice-presidents, and the deans of the faculties sit together as a committee that debates policy and negotiates with the central administration.校务由一位校长与三位副校长主持，各学院院长组成委员会，共同讨论政策并与中央行政机构协调。
• When the 2011 uprising ended the presidency of Hosni Mubarak, Egyptian universities including Beni-Suef went through a period of leadership turnover and contested governance that lasted into the following decade.2011 年起义结束胡斯尼·穆巴拉克的总统任期后，包括贝尼苏韦夫大学在内的埃及高校经历了一段领导层更替与治理争议时期，并延续至其后十年。
• The constitution adopted in 2014 restated education as a right of the citizen and a duty of the state, a commitment later cited in the university's plans to widen access in Upper Egypt.2014 年通过的宪法重申教育既是公民权利也是国家义务，这一承诺后来被该校在扩大上埃及入学机会的规划中加以引用。
• In 2016 the government launched Egypt Vision 2030, the national sustainable development strategy, and the university aligned its faculty expansion and quality programmes with its education targets.2016 年，政府启动国家可持续发展战略「埃及愿景 2030」，该校据此把学院扩张与质量提升项目同其中的教育目标相对接。
• When the COVID-19 pandemic closed campuses in 2020, Beni-Suef moved lectures and examinations online, an experience that left blended teaching embedded in several faculties after the emergency ended.2020 年新冠疫情导致校园关闭时，贝尼苏韦夫大学把课程与考试转为线上，这段经历使混合式教学在紧急状态结束后仍保留在多个学院。
• In 2023 the university entered the 901-1000 band of the Academic Ranking of World Universities, its first appearance in that table and a marker of its growing research output.2023 年，该校首次进入软科世界大学学术排名的 901-1000 区间，标志着其科研产出的增长。
• Its veterinary medicine programme reached the 151-200 band of the ShanghaiRanking global subject table in 2024, and its pharmacy programme held the 301-400 band in the 2025 edition.该校兽医学在 2024 年软科世界一流学科排名中进入 151-200 区间，药学则在 2025 年版中保持 301-400 区间。
• By the mid-2020s the university had become a comprehensive institution with medical, engineering, scientific and humanities faculties spread across several sites in and around the city.到 2020 年代中期，该校已发展为涵盖医学、工程、理学与人文学科的综合性大学，学院分布于城区及周边的多处校址。
• The university's own account stresses continuity with the Cairo University branch, presenting independence in 2005 as the culmination of three decades of teaching in the province rather than as a new foundation.校方叙述强调与开罗大学分校的延续性，把 2005 年的独立视为该省三十年办学积累的结果，而非一次全新的创办。
