As a result, Naguib first studied to become a translator, and later in life he earned a law degree, an MA in [[political science]] and another MA in [[Civil law (legal system)|civil law]]. He never completed his doctorate because his career in the army, undertaken in defiance of his father's wishes, by then had begun to take off. Nevertheless, he found the time to polish 
up his language skills, learning [[English language|English]], [[French language|French]], [[Italian language|Italian]] and [[German language|German]]. Naguib also began to study the [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]] in the 1950s, and soon after the Revolution he ordered that Hebrew be taught at military college and at Cairo and Alexandria universities, realising that the Egyptian army had been handicapped during the [[1948 Arab-Israeli War]] by the fact that very few soldiers could interpret Israeli communications.

While studying in [[Khartoum]], Naguib had often been censured and sometimes even whipped by his British tutors for criticizing Britain's occupation of [[Egypt]] and [[Sudan]]. At this time, Naguib chose [[Napoleon]] as a role model, even deciding to sleep on the floor instead of on a bed to imitate the great French general.   Soon, however, Napoleon was replaced in Naguib's affections by [[Mustafa Kamel]], the founder of Turkey's [[National Party (Egypt)|National Party]], and later he found another hero in [[Saad Zaghlul]].   Some years after he was ousted from power, Naguib also came to somewhat admire [[Gandhi]]

After the death of his father in 1916, the family moved to [[Cairo]], while Naguib and Ali finished their studies in Sudan.
