Université Abdelmalek Essaâdi Tétouan

What Université Abdelmalek Essaâdi Tétouan does

Université Abdelmalek Essaâdi (UAE) is a Moroccan public university established in 1989 and headquartered in Tétouan, with a multi-campus footprint covering 6 provinces and prefectures across northern Morocco — Tétouan, Tanger, Al Hoceima, Larache, and Assilah. The institution operates 10 faculties and 7 schools spanning sciences, engineering, business, translation, and medicine, and serves 130,750 enrolled students (including doctoral researchers) across undergraduate, master's, doctoral, and continuing-education programs. It supports 16,220 graduates, 21,469 scholarship recipients, a student body of 61 nationalities, and 200+ clubs and associations.

The university's digital infrastructure is built around a Moodle-based learning management system (Plateforme Moodle) for pedagogy, Plateforme GCDoc for doctoral administration, E-ressources IMIST and Plateforme Outrouhati for scholarly publications, Catalogue Toubk@l for the library, and iThenticate for plagiarism detection. Complementary centers extend the service surface — Centre de l'Innovation Pédagogique for teaching methods, Centre des Langues et Power Skills, Centre CODE 212 for coding education, Centre de Carrières for career services, and Plateforme Khirrij for prospective-student orientation. Research output is disseminated through the university's open archive and affiliated scientific journals.

UAE is funded primarily through allocations from the Moroccan Ministry of Higher Education, Scientific Research and Innovation, with government-regulated tuition and additional revenue from continuing-education programs. International activity is conducted through ERASMUS, Horizon Europe, PRIMA, COST, BIODEVERSA, and TEMPUS, supplemented by bilateral conventions such as the partnership signed with Université de Mons in 2026-07. The institution is led by President Professor Bouchta El Moumni.
