The Faculty of Desert and Environmental Agriculture at the Matrouh branch passed through many stages before its independence. It began as a branch of the Shatby Faculty of Agriculture, Alexandria University, and commenced studies in 2006 under the old agricultural production program. In 2013, a Ministerial Decree amended the executive regulations of the Universities Organization Law to add the Matrouh branch of Alexandria University. In 2017, a Ministerial Decree applied the internal regulations of the Shatby Faculty of Agriculture’s Bachelor’s program at the Desert and Environmental Agriculture College in Matrouh under the credit-hour system. In 2018, Prime Ministerial Decree No. (1715) declared Matrouh University independent.
