About Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P)
Mohammed VI Polytechnic University is an institution focused on applied research and innovation. With a strong orientation toward Africa, it aspires to be among the globally recognized universities in these fields.
Located in the heart of the Mohammed VI Green City, near Marrakech, its founding campus serves as a hub for national, continental, and international impact.
More than just a traditional academic institution, Mohammed VI Polytechnic University is a platform for experimentation and a source of opportunities often referred to by students as 'The School of Life.'
As a microcosm of the outside world with its challenges, prospects, and promises, the University aims to unlock the potential of Moroccan youth and students from across Africa. UM6P is indeed a center of knowledge dedicated to research, high-level education, and innovation for development. But it is also committed to an innovative pedagogical approach that places experiential learning and practical application at the core of its education and research. Our pedagogy serves inquisitive and creative minds, whether they are students, faculty, or partners.
This Safe Space, embracing life in all its diversity, complexity, and opportunities, is not merely about producing engineers, architects, or leaders. UM6P provides a new kind of learning environment with its Living Labs, digital components, and peer-to-peer learning to equip young minds to tackle the major challenges of our time. We guide them to become solution creators, continually progressing throughout their professional lives, turning obstacles into opportunities.
Our campuses are designed to foster scientific, cultural, sports, and artistic emulation, with all facilities open to the University community. We aim for everyone to embrace the spaces and resources, nurturing a proactive and progressive mindset, geared towards entrepreneurship and wealth creation. By promoting social and territorial inclusion, Mohammed VI Polytechnic University adopts a sustainable participatory approach.
