And with the increasing number of private universities in Egypt and strong competition among them to attract the largest number of Egyptians and foreign students, the importance of using various marketing communication activities and integrating them at the same time has increased, in order to create awareness, form a positive image, develop positive expectations among prospective students about the services provided, attract potential students along with maintaining current students and build positive relationships with them. This study aims at assessing the level of effectiveness of the universities' websites in achieving their marketing communication objectives and developing good relationship with students.
