Ecole Polytechnique d'Agadir

What Ecole Polytechnique d'Agadir does

Ecole Polytechnique d'Agadir (EPA) is a private Moroccan engineering higher-education institution founded in 2004 and operating under the Universiapolis group. It is headquartered on a 6-hectare integrated technopole campus in Agadir (Souss-Massa-Dr, Morocco) and delivers state-recognized engineering diplomas with equivalence to the Ingénieur d'État across six specializations: Computer, Electrical, Mechanical, Industrial, Food, and Civil Engineering, plus newer tracks in Biomedical Engineering and English-language Technological Innovation Engineering. The school applies a North-American pedagogical model combining a two-year preparatory cycle with a three-year engineering cycle, supported by 22 equipped laboratories and a digital learning ecosystem (Moodle, Coursera, ScholarVox, Altissia, ALEKS, EDU) and Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE Premium membership.

EPA's revenue model is tuition-driven (subscription/recurring), with engineering program fees as the primary stream and secondary contributions from evening international master's programs (Industrial Engineering & Logistics, Information Security, Energy Law & Sustainable Development), competency-based professional certification centers (Huawei ICT Academy, CILT, Dassault), and bespoke training/consulting delivered through the Centaure Innovation research laboratory. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via online pre-registration, campus Open Days, and an active events calendar (FEECRA Expo entrepreneurial fair, graduation ceremonies, international education fairs).

The institution differentiates through extensive international partnership architecture spanning 18+ universities across Europe, Asia, Africa, and North America, enabling double-degree and exchange pathways (e.g., Mines Nancy, ENIB Brest, ENSAIA, ENSAM ParisTech, Poznan University of Technology, University of Lorraine, Wuhan). Supporting infrastructure includes a 1,500+ alumni network, dedicated alumni/employer relations services, and CNDP-compliant student onboarding. The wider Universiapolis group, including EPA, counts 2,200+ students from 18 nationalities and has been operating since 1989.
