Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) is expanding its reach with the launch of a new branch of the “College of Computing” in Rabat, dedicated to cybersecurity.

Situated on the UM6P campus in Rabat, the new branch aspires to be a center of excellence in cybersecurity for Africa.

The three-year program targets students at Bac+2/Bac+3 levels from preparatory classes and bachelor’s degrees, but it is also open to those who have completed the Baccalaureate.

All candidates must pass an entrance exam, with the next round scheduled for June 2025.

This cybersecurity program complements the existing offerings of the College of Computing, which already includes courses in artificial intelligence and machine learning at the Benguerir campus. Prof. Rachid Guerraoui, Chairman of the College of Computing Steering Committee, notes that this expansion reflects UM6P’s commitment to establishing two centers of excellence in IT: one for AI and machine learning in Benguerir and another for cybersecurity in Rabat.

This strategy aims to cultivate future digital leaders capable of navigating Africa’s digital transformation.
