Théorie et pratique (Theory and practice)

The École Nationale Supérieure des Mines de Rabat called also Mines Rabat in French or National Graduate Engineering School in English is a leading engineering school in Morocco. The old school name was École Nationale de l'Industrie Minérale .

Contents

Based in Rabat, Mines Rabat is one of the oldest engineering schools in Morocco. Mines Rabat is a member of the Conférence des grandes écoles (CGE). The course for the engineering program lasts three years and the admission is done mainly by the common national competition (CNC) after making two or three years in preparatory classes.

Despite its small size (fewer than 300 students are accepted each year, after a very selective exam), it is a crucial part of the infrastructure of Moroccan industry.

In the limit of available places candidates can be admitted to this title and by level:

  • Bachelor / CUES or equivalent
  • New License
  • Master of Science and Technology and bachelor
  • Master science or technique.

    • Admissions

    The admission to Mines Rabat in the normal cycle is made through a very selective entrance examination, and requires at least two years of preparation after high school in preparatory classes. Admission includes a week of written examinations during the spring followed sometimes by oral examinations over the summer.

    History

    The school was established in 1972 and now about 300 Moroccan students are admitted each year. Foreign students, having followed a classe préparatoire curriculum (generally, African students) can also enter through the same competitive exam. Finally, some foreign students come for a single year from other top institutions in Africa.

    Rankings

    Mines Rabat is ranked among the top 3 Moroccan Grandes Ecoles, though it doesn't appear in international rankings due to its very limited number of students (300 students for the class of 2016).
