Dual Engineering Degrees Now Offered at Arts et Métiers Campus in Rabat: A Milestone in International Education

In a landmark development for higher education, students at the Arts et Métiers campus in Rabat, Morocco, can now earn dual engineering degrees. This significant advancement follows the approval by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research, marking a historic first for a French public engineering school to receive such international accreditation.

The prestigious Programme Grande École (PGE), traditionally offered by Arts et Métiers in France, has been sanctioned for delivery at the Rabat campus. This decision comes on the heels of a successful audit conducted in January 2024, underscoring the program's adherence to rigorous academic standards.

Graduates of the Rabat PGE program will proudly hold two distinct degrees: an Engineering Degree and the Arts et Métiers ParisTech diploma. This dual recognition not only enhances their academic credentials but also boosts their professional standing, both within Morocco and internationally.

The Arts et Métiers campus in Rabat is the result of a collaborative initiative between the Moroccan government and Arts et Métiers in France. Established in September 2023, the campus aims to be a beacon of talent development, research advancement, and innovation. Located on the prestigious campus of Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) in Rabat, it offers a variety of programs, including the PGE, a Bachelor of Technologies for the Industry of the Future, and a professional bachelor's degree.

This dual accreditation is a testament to the Moroccan Ministry of Industry and Commerce's commitment to advancing the country's industrial capabilities. By providing an educational program that meets high standards of innovation and performance, the ministry aims to cultivate a workforce equipped to drive industrial development.

Simultaneously, this initiative aligns with Arts et Métiers' strategic vision of broadening its educational reach and preparing future engineers to tackle the evolving demands of sustainable industry. Arts et Métiers, with its eight campuses and three research institutes in France, is renowned for its dedication to training versatile engineers and conducting technological research that serves the industry.

The Commission des Titres d’Ingénieur (CTI), responsible for evaluating engineering programs in France, has played a pivotal role in this achievement. The CTI focuses on enhancing the quality of engineering training and promoting the engineering profession both in France and globally.

In summary, the dual degree program at the Arts et Métiers Rabat campus represents a significant leap forward in international engineering education, offering students unparalleled opportunities for academic and professional growth.
