CAIRO – 13 June 2018: Minister of Immigration and Egyptian Expatriate Affairs, Nabila Makram, congratulated Mohamed al-Sayed Badr, an Egyptian youth, for taking post as the dean of a Munich’s mass communication faculty.

Badr, 39, is considered the youngest expatriate in Germany to take that post. Makram congratulated Badr after he has won the competition against 17 German professors, the German Embassy in Cairo reported.



She expressed her pride of the Egyptian expats’ efficiency in various fields, saying that Egyptian expats can take high level posts despite their young age due to their efficiency.

Badr, from the Mediterranean city of Alexandria, has been named 2017’s best university professor in Germany, following a serious competition with 72 German professors, according to media reports.



Badr has also created joint media programs between the University of Westminster in London and Macromedia University in Munich. In addition, scientific and cultural cooperation between the two universities in the media field has been reportedly endorsed thanks to his efforts.
