In May 2023, the Faculty of Engineering at Al Nahda University received accreditation from The Arab Commission for Accreditation in Engineering and Technology (ACAET), for three engineering programs: Architectural Engineering, Civil Engineering, and Telecommunications and Computers Engineering. The accreditation is valid for four years until 2026, and it allows graduates from the Faculty of Engineering to work in Kuwait and various Arab countries.

This came as an effort by Nahda University to enhance the connection of its students with the job market in Egypt and all Arab and foreign countries.
