[**Free consultation for Morocco**](https://armaneducation.com/en/contact?country=morocco) ## **Overview** Morocco's higher-education system combines a large public university sector with a growing number of private and non-profit institutions. Public universities include open-access faculties (letters, sciences, law, economics) and regulated-access schools (engineering, commerce and management, technology). Teaching in public institutions is mainly in French, with Arabic used in some humanities and law programmes; AMCI states that French is the working language of public higher education and runs a French upgrade centre in Rabat for non-francophone scholarship students. Foreign students reach public universities mostly through two routes. Under cooperation agreements, applications are submitted through diplomatic channels to the Moroccan Agency for International Cooperation (AMCI), which forwards selected files to the Ministry of Higher Education; the ministry issues an electronic enrolment authorisation, and files not forwarded by AMCI are not considered (UM5, UCA, UH2C pages). Other students enrol directly in private or non-profit institutions such as Al Akhawayn University (English-language, American-style), Euromed University of Fes, the International University of Rabat and Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P), which publish their own admission steps and fees. AMCI reports that about 14,500 foreign students were studying in Moroccan public institutions in 2019/2020, of whom 12,500 came from 47 African countries, and that more than 12,000 held Kingdom of Morocco scholarships through AMCI that year. Published private-sector fees range from roughly 55,700 MAD per year at Euromed (bachelor, 2026-27) to over 100,000 MAD per year at Al Akhawayn University (derived from per-credit rates). A verified, nationality-specific fee schedule for non-scholarship foreigners at public universities was not found. Foreigners staying beyond 90 days must hold a registration card (carte d'immatriculation); under Law 02-03 a card marked 'student' is issued to a foreigner who shows enrolment and sufficient means of subsistence. Euromed describes the practical sequence as enrolment certificate, study visa from a Moroccan consulate, then residence card after arrival. Entry-visa rules differ by nationality and were only partly verifiable from official pages (see visa.nationalityNotes).
**Public university tuition**
Tuition at public institutions is stated to be free for AMCI scholarship holders (Saint Lucia government notice relaying AMCI terms for 2024-25; some technical programmes may require equipment or fees paid by the student). A verified fee schedule for non-scholarship foreign students in public universities was not found on reachable official pages.Source
**Monthly living cost**
Not yet verifiedSource
**Visa processing time**
No official processing time found. Euromed notes a receipt is issued while the card is processed.Source
**Work rights**
Law 02-03 art. 13 distinguishes cards by purpose: 'student' cards are for study with sufficient means; a card for professional activity subject to authorisation is a separate category. Art. 40 allows a short-stay visa to be cancelled if the holder pursues gainful activity without authorisation. No student-specific hours cap or work permission was found in the law text or on reachable official pages.Source
**Intakes and deadlines**
Public universities run on a single academic year; pre-registration platforms were open for 2026-27 (UH2C preins.univh2c.ma; one UCA faculty deadline 4 September 2026 per search snippet). Al Akhawayn runs Fall and Spring semesters. UM6P engineering-cycle application deadlines for the 2026 intake were April-June 2026 (search snippet); 2027 dates not found. Cooperation-student deadlines are set yearly by AMCI and sent to Moroccan diplomatic missions and accredited embassies.Source
**Language requirement**
Public higher education is mainly in French (AMCI); non-francophone AMCI scholars take a one-year French upgrade at the AMCI International Language Centre in Rabat, which also offers Darija courses. Arabic is used in some programmes. English-medium options exist mainly at Al Akhawayn University (all degree programmes in English with required French/Arabic coursework) and some UM6P programmes.Source

### Accommodation AMCI scholars: International University City in Rabat for students retained by AMCI; elsewhere housing quota set by AMCI and permits issued by ONOUSC within quota (UH2C). AUI: on-campus rooms 3,570-25,893 MAD per semester by type, downtown 3,600-16,000 MAD per semester (Fall 2026); 3,000 MAD refundable deposit. Euromed has the 'U-village' residence (cost not found). When planning the total budget, separate one-off and monthly items. [Budget planning guide](https://armaneducation.com/en/guides/budget-planning) ## **Visa and residence permit** Law 02-03 requires foreigners staying more than 90 days to hold a registration card (carte d'immatriculation); a card marked 'student' is issued to a foreigner who proves study in Morocco and sufficient means (arts. 8-13), and the card may be made conditional on a residence visa of more than three months (art. 15). Euromed describes the sequence: enrolment certificate, Moroccan study visa from a consulate in the country of residence, then residence card after arrival (receipt while waiting; card valid one year per Euromed). Students under AMCI arrive on a convocation letter delivered through diplomatic channels and apply for the visa at the Moroccan embassy.
**Visa processing time**
No official processing time found. Euromed notes a receipt is issued while the card is processed.Source
**Proof of funds**
Law 02-03 art. 13 requires 'sufficient means of subsistence' for the student card; no official monthly amount found.Source

Compulsory student health insurance (AMOE) in force since 6 January 2016 covers Moroccan and foreign students in public and private higher education and vocational training, if enrolled in an institution listed by ministerial decree 3129-15, aged 30 or under, and with no other coverage. Contribution is free for public-sector students (state-funded); the institution registers students with CNOPS (up to 30 days). AMCI scholarship packages include medical insurance (2024-25 notice).

Pre-registration platforms also exist for baccalaureate holders (e.g. UH2C, UCA), and students who graduated in Morocco follow the same access rules as Moroccans (UM5). Private and non-profit institutions admit directly."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What is AMCI?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"The Moroccan Agency for International Cooperation, created in 1986, under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Some programmes use Arabic. English-medium study is concentrated in institutions such as Al Akhawayn University."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What does Al Akhawayn University cost for international students?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Fall 2026 schedule: undergraduate 3,392 MAD per credit, graduate 4,240 MAD per credit, plus 5,100 MAD registration; a 15-credit undergraduate semester is about 50,880 MAD (derived).

AMCI scholars also receive medical insurance."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can international students work while studying?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"No official student work rule was found. Law 02-03 treats professional activity subject to authorisation as a separate card category and allows a short-stay visa to be cancelled for unauthorised gainful activity. Ask the university and the labour authorities before taking any job."}}],"potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https://armaneducation.com/en/countries/morocco"]}],"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https://armaneducation.com/#logo"}},{"@id":"https://armaneducation.com/#identity","@type":"Organization","name":"Arman Education","url":"https://armaneducation.com","logo":{"@id":"https://armaneducation.com/#logo"}},{"@id":"https://armaneducation.com/en/countries/morocco#breadcrumb","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","name":"Home","item":"https://armaneducation.com/en","position":1},{"@type":"ListItem","name":"Countries","item":"https://armaneducation.com/en/countries","position":2},{"@type":"ListItem","name":"Morocco","position":3}]},{"@id":"https://armaneducation.com/#logo","@type":"ImageObject","caption":"Arman Education","contentUrl":"https://armaneducation.com/icon-512.png","inLanguage":"en","url":"https://armaneducation.com/icon-512.png"}]} ``` ## Sitemap See the full [sitemap](https://armaneducation.com/sitemap.md) for all pages.
