Mohamed VI University is a multidisciplinary specialties in the city of Benjarir, one of the Moroccan universities distinguished by its educational system and its focus on applied research and innovation directed to solving the problems and challenges of the African continent.
The university is located on a vast area in the city of Benjirir within an unprecedented ecosystem and idealism called "The Green City Mohammed VI", which will extend over an area of one thousand hectares for the benefit of 100 thousand people.
Reflecting the traditional academic institutions, Mohammed VI University is a multidisciplinary specialties, a living platform and a living space for opportunities and a life school, and a microcosm of the outside world with its challenges, prospects and opportunities.
The university, which includes students of the various social classes, is involved in an innovative pedagogical path that puts learning with practice, experimentation and application at the heart of the interests of training and research, to provoke the curiosity and creativity of students and researchers.
In this dialogue, Hisham Al -Habti, the unique president of this university, tells us about the outcome of the Foundation since our inception in 2017, its secret and its ambition to address the problems and challenges of the African continent with creative African minds.
Mohammed VI University has opened multidisciplinary disciplines by His Majesty King Mohammed VI in January 2017 in Benjarir, a university whose institutions are also in El -Ayoun, Rabat and Khouribga.
The university has known a remarkable development from its inception, as it embraces today about 3,500 students in the various leave and master's wires, 400 doctoral researchers and more than 100 students in the post -doctoral stage, and about 160 researchers.
These numbers respond to the first mission of the university represented in positioning as a center for scientific research and innovation in serving the problems and challenges facing the African continent, such as food security, sustainable manufacturing and climate change.
This system is accompanied by live laboratories, which are realistic experimental platforms for applied research, including the clean energy field in Benjeerir, in partnership with the Institute of Research in Solar Energy and New Energies, and a farm that extends over a hundred hectares that allow students to apply the innovations that they work on.We also have the largest "data center" in Morocco near the university, which enables students and researchers to access a very important mathematical capacity.
We have Moroccan students and 20 foreign nationalities, especially from sub -Saharan Africa, in addition to students from Europe, America and Asia, within the framework of the exchange between the university and its counterparts in the world.
And we adopt in teaching the French and English systems.There is a subject for engineering sciences in which only theoretical lessons are provided, but applied lessons, which is a system adopted by Anglo -Saxon universities.In the end, we try to adopt the best of all educational systems.
We have a division on collective intelligence, and our university is the first in the world to adopt Master on this topic that addresses everything related to the individual and his collective work by relying on several sciences, including neuroscience, history, philosophy and sociology.
We also adopted at the university a new way to make our students scholars in computers, by inserting computer science in the preparatory departments instead of adopting it later.
Students benefiting from the university scholarship represent more than 70 percent, and the only condition for university access is excellence, after studying the student's file and his social status through the Ibn Rushd Foundation.
Our ambition is to provide an opportunity for all Moroccans and Africans for high -quality scientific research, that is, enabling Africans to address, study and confront all the challenges facing the continent thanks to its citizens.We are on the right path to become a large university and destination for all researchers interested in Africa.
