Al Azhar, one of the main centres of Sunni Muslim learning, has seen repeated clashes between students and police.Supporters of the banned Islamist Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt have set fire to two university buildings in Cairo, state TV says.
Students fought police at Al Azhar University, reportedly setting fire to the business faculty after trying to prevent students from sitting exams.
A fire was reportedly also set in the agriculture faculty building.
Three people died on Friday as police fought Brotherhood supporters in Cairo, southern Minya and the Nile Delta.
Authorities have cracked down on the Brotherhood since July, when Islamist President Mohammed Morsi, who belongs to the group, was deposed by the army.
The Brotherhood, which had been banned since September from all activity, was declared a terrorist group on Wednesday following a suicide bombing of a police headquarters in Nile Delta.
The government said the movement was behind the attack - a charge it strongly denied.
It is the latest measure taken against the group, which is being targeted by the military-backed interim government. Thousands of Brotherhood members, including its leadership, have been arrested and many put on trial.
Members were rounded up on Thursday after a bomb hit a bus in Cairo, injuring five people.
US Secretary of State John Kerry called his Egyptian counterpart to "express concern" about the recent waves of arrests and called for an "inclusive political process", state department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said.
Al Azhar, one of the main centres of Sunni Muslim learning, has been the scene of repeated clashes between Islamist students and police in recent months.
