They will exhibit integrity in their actions and decisions, whether in technical or managerial capacities, fostering a culture of responsible citizenship and making positive impacts on their communities.
Student Outcomes (SOs)
In order to support the program educational objectives, the students are supposed to acquire at the end of the program six student outcomes, namely:
SO1: Analyze a complex computing problem and apply principles of computing and other relevant disciplines to build solutions.
SO2: Design, implement, and evaluate a computing-based solution to meet a given set of computing requirements in the context of the program’s discipline.
SO3: Communicate effectively in a variety of professional contexts.
SO4: Recognize professional responsibilities and make informed judgments in computing practice based on legal and ethical principles.
SO5: Function effectively as a member or leader of a team engaged in activities appropriate to the program’s discipline.
SO6: Apply computer science theory and software development fundamentals to produce computing-based solutions.

Admission decision
The admission process takes place in two stages:
1. File study:
Admission to the entrance exam is based on an overall assessment of each candidate's academic performance in mathematics, physics and languages (French and English)
2. Written and oral assessment:
The evaluation process consists of two parts:
The first part is a written test which includes mathematics and physics. Four entrance exam sessions are scheduled throughout the year. The call for applications is announced on the university website (https://candidature.uir.ac.ma/), through promotional campaigns, social media, open days, live announcements and on the radio.
The second part of the assessment is an oral exam. The oral exam assesses the candidate's essential qualities, such as motivation, authenticity, initiative and curiosity. In addition, it also assesses the candidate's ability to communicate effectively in French and English. Final registration: Once these steps have been completed, the candidate will receive an email detailing the results of the validation interview, allowing them to move on to the final registration phase.
Transfer applications
Admission requierements
Admission is based on file study first, then an interview to check whether the candidate has the educational prerequisites.
- Access to the 2nd year preparatory class is open to candidates who have completed the first year of a scientific preparatory class or the 1st year of the SMI course, or the 1st year of an accredited course of an engineering school, or the 1st year of the higher education cycle of an accredited scientific sector (L1).
