Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah University About

Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah University was created by Dahir n°2.75.662 of 11 Chaoual 1395, on October 17, 1975. It is a multidisciplinary institution that consists of 12 higher education institutions and a city of innovation divided into four university sites: agdal-Fez campus, Saîs-Fez, Bensouda-Fez and Taza. A fifth campus in Taounate is being established.

History

Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah University is considered one of the oldest universities in Morocco. It was created in 1975, and bears the name of Sultan Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah (Mohamed III), one of the most illustrious Sultans of the reigning Alawite Dynasty (1757-1790). Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah University is planted in the city of Fez, a thousand-year-old city of knowledge and spiritual capital.

Education

The 12 institutions of the Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah University of Fez will be organized into four scientific poles:

  • Languages and Humanities and Social Sciences Cluster (LSHS)
  • Pole of Legal, Economics and Management Sciences (SJEG)
  • Science and Technology (ST) Cluster
  • Life Sciences and Health (SVS) Cluster

Research

As part of its research strategy for 2017, the USMBA plans to structure research into laboratories, research poles and possibly Specialized Study and Research Centers (CERS).

After evaluation and accreditation of research laboratories, the USMBA began structuring accredited laboratories into research poles under themes of major interest for the local, regional and national development of the country.

The creation of these poles makes it possible in the short term to create a synergy between teacher-researchers by grouping them by affinities in these structures. The grouping is done on the basis of the criteria of complementarity, multidisciplinarity and pooling of human and material resources.

A Challenging Journey into Linguistics

Studying English Studies, particularly within the linguistics track, has been an interesting and rewarding experience. Throughout my studies, I have developed a deeper understanding of how language works, from the sounds we produce in phonetics and phonology to sentence structures, meaning, and different approaches to translation. What I appreciate most is that the program goes beyond simply learning English; it encourages us to think critically, analyse language, and understand it from different perspectives. Some subjects can be challenging, especially when it comes to applying theoretical concepts, but they have helped me develop my analytical and academic skills. The professors and the academic content are among the program's strongest points. However, I believe that certain administrative procedures and access to academic resources could be improved and made more efficient. Overall, it has been a valuable learning experience that has strengthened my interest in linguistics and given me a better appreciation of the complexity of language.

GOOD

I really appreciated the practical and well-structured nature of the SAP programme. The courses helped me develop new technical skills and better understand how the knowledge can be applied in real-world situations. I also appreciated the support and interaction with the instructors. One area that could be improved is providing more practical exercises, real-world projects, and opportunities to work with SAP tools in greater depth. Overall, my study experience was positive and enriching. The programme allowed me to strengthen my technical knowledge, gain practical experience, and develop skills that will be useful for my future academic and professional career.
