Higher Education Institutions in Morocco

Types of Higher Education institutions

Higher Education institutions in Morocco can be broken down into three major types: (1) public institutions, (2) semi-public/privately-run institutions and (3) private institutions. All semi-public institutions are limited-access: they accept students under certain conditions (specialization, grades, etc.) and may require a fee and/or registration. Public Higher education institutions can be divided into two sub-types: Open-access and limited-access. Public Higher education institutions also include open-access and limited-access institutions. Many limited-access public institutions are run by the department of higher education, others are run by the department of vocational training (via the Office of Vocational Training and Employment Promotion (OFPPT) and some are run by other ministries such as the Ministry of Tourism, the Minstry of Health, and the Ministry of Territorial planning, Urbanization & Housing.
