Five Moroccan universities made it into the 2025 Global 2000 list, out of 21,462 institutions assessed by the Center for World University Rankings (CWUR).
Mohammed V University in Rabat led nationally, ranking 992nd worldwide, placing it in the top 4.7 percent of global universities. It scored 70.7 points, ranking 947th in research, but did not register in teaching, employability, or faculty quality.
Cadi Ayyad University in Marrakech followed at 1,128th, then Hassan II University in Casablanca at 1,154th. Both showed similar profiles, with moderate research rankings but no notable scores in other categories.
Mohammed I University in Oujda ranked 1,357th, while Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah University in Fez trailed at 1,901st.
CWUR evaluates institutions on education, employability, faculty awards, and research. Moroccan universities showed strengths in scientific output but lagged in teaching quality and graduate outcomes, raising questions about alignment with local development needs and the job market. Harvard topped the global ranking.
