Universities in Morocco - Providing Top Education

After completing their school education, Moroccans have the option to pursue a tertiary education at the various institutions scattered throughout the country. There are approximately forty tertiary education institutions including 14 universities, private higher education institutions and polytechnics. The chief language of instruction at these educational institutions is French, along with a few Arabic courses and several English institutions. Moroccans are not the only ones who study at Morocco's universities; foreign students also attend.

Mohammed V University is probably the best-known of Morocco's universities. The University was established in 1957 and was amongst the first modern universities to be founded in Morocco. This fine tertiary education institution in Morocco was named in honor of King Mohammed V, a renowned Moroccan monarch. In the year 1993 the Mohammed V University was split into two institutions, namely Mohammed V University at Souissi and Mohammed V University at Agdal. Students attending Mohammed V University can make use of the faculties of medicine, sciences, law and liberal arts.

The University of Al-Karaouine is also renowned. This historical institution was established back in 859 and was named the “oldest existing educational institution in the world” by the famed Guinness Book of World Records. Since its inception it has been an important education center for Islamic studies with international students also coming here to study theology.

Al Akhawayn University in Ifrane is an international university with an American based curriculum. It was also the first private English university to be founded in North Africa. The Al Akhawayn University was officially inaugurated in January 1995 by King Hassan II.

Please note that Al Akhawayn University is not a private institution (check the website www.aui.ma). It's a state-owned university where students pay tuition, contrary to the other universities.
