Mr. Noureddine MOUADDIB
President of the International University of Rabat

For nearly ten years, passionate and talented people have been working with commitment and determination to develop what has become the International University of Rabat: a higher education and research institution that meets the ambitions of Moroccan and African youth. We are particularly proud to be able to count on the unprecedented mobilization of the Moroccan academic diaspora, our foreign academic partners and the vital forces of Morocco, which, alongside UIR, are actively engaged in meeting tomorrow's challenge: to contribute to educating talents that will contribute to the development of Morocco and Africa.

Our University offers an innovative model in Moroccan higher education. As a result of a partnership with the Moroccan government, it benefits from a management system based on the model of private universities, while placing educational excellence at the heart of its mission.

At a time when the world is undergoing major economic, political and social change, education remains an important societal issue; as such, UIR intends to support these changes by ensuring that the the values of solidarity, equity and equality are respected.

Since its launch in 2010-2011, our University has placed these values at the heart of its efforts, by awarding scholarships to the most deserving students with limited financial resources.

Today, one of the characteristics of the International University of Rabat lies in the diversity of the education it provides, in line with the different sectoral strategies promoted by the Kingdom of Morocco, and which allows each student to build his/her academic career according to his/her skills, expectations and capacities, but also based on market needs.

The educational offering of the International University of Rabat is also characterized by the diversity of strategic international partnerships established with renowned universities, consisting in particular in awarding a double degree to UIR students according to their major.

We are also convinced of the importance of research to support the development of educational excellence, which is why our University is sparing no effort to contribute to the influence of Moroccan scientific research. Indeed, by building on the proven expertise and knowledge of its researchers, UIR has filed many patents (occupying first place in Africa and in the MENA region with to date… ). It has also created its first start-up; the first TTO (Technology Transfer Office) in Morocco; and has engaged in numerous research contracts with recognized national and international partners.
