The Higher School of Technology of Agadir: renewed training and student support strengthen the institution's presence within Ibn Zohr University

The Higher School of Technology of Agadir continues to consolidate its position as one of the university institutions that bet on applied and professional training, by keeping pace with the transformations higher education is experiencing, and through continuous openness to the specialities linked to technology, digitalisation, management and the needs of the labour market.

This dynamic falls within the framework of the Ibn Zohr University system, which has a broad, multidisciplinary university offer, and which affirms in its orientations the strengthening of closeness to students and the development of training courses so as to open up varied academic and professional horizons for them. The University today comprises a wide network of institutions and training courses spread across a number of university cities in the region and the South.

At the heart of this dynamic, the Higher School of Technology of Agadir stands out as an institution of a professional training nature, combining the academic and applied dimensions, and giving students the possibility of building a study path that takes into account the requirements of the labour market and the accelerated transformations experienced by technical and digital professions.

An administration that bets on closeness to students

Student support takes on particular importance in the management of modern university institutions, since the school's role is no longer limited to delivering lessons and lectures, but has also become linked to providing the conditions suitable for achievement, organising study paths, and supporting students throughout the various stages of their training.

In this context, the role of the school's administration stands out under the chairmanship of Doctor Mohamed El Madi, director of the Higher School of Technology of Agadir, in continuing to implement the institution's orientations and to keep pace with the developments in its training offer, in harmony with the transformations that higher education is experiencing in Morocco.

This approach comes at a time when the university is required, more than ever, to combine the quality of training, closeness to the student, and openness to its economic and social environment.

Time and calendars

Streams and specialities that keep pace with the transformations

Ibn Zohr University's data reveal a clear diversity in the training courses hosted by the school, whether at the level of the University Diploma of Technology, the professional bachelor's degrees or the recent training courses.

The offer includes, among other specialities, the fields of electrical engineering, bio-industrial engineering, marketing and communication techniques, and management techniques, alongside professional training courses in audit and management control, international trade and logistics. The university offer also features a number of training courses related to networks and systems, website development, and energy efficiency and renewable energies.

This diversity does not only reflect the breadth of the pedagogical offer, but also reflects an attempt to connect university training courses with economic and technological transformations, especially given the growing demand for digital, technical and managerial skills.

A new stage with the Bachelor in technology

The school also enters the 2026-2027 academic year in a renewed context, with an offer of training courses linked to the Bachelor cycle in technology, the announced specialities covering fields such as software engineering and digital innovation, audit and management control, and other training courses of a professional nature.

This development comes in harmony with the transformations experienced by the higher education system, which increasingly focuses on developing more flexible study paths and linking training to the skills required in the labour market.

The school… more than a space for study

The value of the Higher School of Technology of Agadir is not measured only by the number of streams and specialities it provides, but also by its ability to create a university environment that helps the student build his academic and professional project.

Today's student is looking for training that gives him knowledge and skills at the same time, and for an institution able to support him in his study path and guide him towards the specialities that give him greater opportunities for professional integration.

Hence, the real challenge facing the school lies in continuing to develop the training courses, strengthening the applied dimension, opening up to economic and professional institutions, and encouraging innovation and initiative, while preserving the quality of supervision and closeness to students.

A presence within the Ibn Zohr system

The school enjoys an important position within the Ibn Zohr University system, which places among its priorities the development of its training offer and the strengthening of its presence in the various scientific, technical and human fields, the University's official data indicating that it has a wide network of institutions, training courses and students, making it one of the largest Moroccan universities in terms of geographical reach and the number of beneficiaries of its university services.

For the Higher School of Technology of Agadir, the coming challenge is not only linked to preserving the gains, but to continuing to build a university institution able to respond to the new transformations, especially in the fields of digitalisation, artificial intelligence, renewable energies, logistics, management and modern technologies.

Thus, the Higher School of Technology of Agadir appears to be facing a new stage whose main title is: advanced professional training, closer support for students, and streams more closely linked to the professions of the future, within the framework of its position inside Ibn Zohr University and its role in serving the scientific, economic and social development of the Souss-Massa region.
