A protest by female students at the tension-hit Al-Azhar University was dispersed by water cannon on Wednesday.
They were marching in the streets surrounding the campus, shouting slogans against the army and police.
Police fired water cannon when the women attempted to block a road leading to the university gate, Al-Ahram Arabic news website reported.
On Tuesday, police fired teargas at students protesting at Al-Azhar. They replied with stones.
Al-Azhar has witnessed frequent demonstrations by pro-Morsi students since he was toppled in July.
Recent protests have been to condemn the killing of a student and the arrest of dozens others.
