Hilmi Murad graduated from the Faculty of Law at Cairo University in 1939 and received a postgraduate diploma in public law in 1940.[1] He received a PhD from the University of Paris in 1949.[1]

He was appointed minister of education on 20 May 1968 when Gamal Abdel Nasser reshuffled the cabinet.[6] Murad's tenure ended in 1969 when he was removed from office by Nasser.[1][4]
