On 19 April 2006, Kafrelsheikh University was established by the Presidential Decree No (129). It is one of the modern governmental universities in the Arab Republic of Egypt. It is worth noting that the establishment of the university is in response to the requirements of the sustainable development process in Egypt in terms of optimal utilization of its human and material resources and energies on the one hand, and the growing need to expand the absorptive capacity of university education from alumni of high and technical secondary schools.
Historically, the nucleus of the faculties started with the establishment of the Higher Agricultural Institute in 1957 in Kafrelsheikh governorate, affiliated with the Ministry of Higher Education. In 1969, the institute was transferred to the Faculty of Agriculture, affiliated with Alexandria University. The faculty was annexed to Tanta University after its establishment in 1973. In 1977, the Faculty of Education was established. In 1983 a branch of Tanta University was established in Kafrelsheikh, and in 1985 the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine was established. The Faculty of Specific Education was established in 1988. In the beginning, Faculty of Specific Education was affiliated with the Ministry of Higher Education, then by the Ministerial decree No 1187, it became affiliated with Tanta University. In 1920, a branch of the Faculties of Engineering and Commerce was established. In 1997, a branch of Faculty of Physical Education was established. When the republican decision was issued to transform the Kafrelsheikh branch into a university in 2006, the branches of the faculties were transformed into faculties.
All faculties of the university are located in the city of Kafrelsheikh, and the university now includes nineteen faculties and three institutes as follows:
