She joined the Faculty of Fine Arts at Alexandria University, specialized in Oil Painting and Mural Painting, studied all its techniques and obtained a bachelor's degree. During her studies for her master's and doctorate, Nermin traveled to Turkey several times and joined a university in Istanbul, where she studied the art of Byzantine mosaics and Ottoman ceramic tiles executed in a very special style.
