The Center for World University Rankings (CWUR) has placed Mohammed V University in Rabat among the top 5 percent of universities worldwide, securing the top national position for the sixth consecutive year.
According to the CWUR’s latest “Top 2000 Universities in the World” ranking, only 2,000 out of 21,462 global higher education institutions were included in this elite list—among them five Moroccan universities.
Alongside Mohammed V University in Rabat, the four others are Cadi Ayyad University in Marrakech, Hassan II University of Casablanca, Mohammed I University in Oujda, and Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah University in Fez– showcasing Morocco’s growing prominence in international higher education.
Mohammed V University achieved notable rankings both on a regional and international level: 13th among the top 66 universities in the Arab world, 15th among the top 63 universities in Africa, and 992nd globally—placing it within the top 4.7 percent worldwide. In research quality, the university ranked 947th globally, underscoring the strength and impact of its scientific contributions.
These international accolades reinforce Mohammed V University’s strategic standing in Rabat and its unwavering commitment to academic excellence, cutting-edge research, and openness to both national and global communities. This accomplishment also reflects the university’s continuous progress, climbing 15 places compared to last year’s ranking.
CWUR’s ranking methodology is based on four key indicators: quality of scientific research (40%), quality of academic training provided to students (25%), professional success of graduates holding leadership roles in major global companies (25%), and the academic reputation of faculty recognized with prestigious scientific awards (10%).
The ranking is based on data from the international scientific database “Web of Science,” which monitors publications, citations, and journal quality over the past ten years.
The top three positions this year were claimed by American institutions Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Stanford University, followed by England’s University of Cambridge and University of Oxford in fourth and fifth place, respectively.
