Lecturer at Academia Institute of Technology Maribor Dr. Dušan Mežnar, who teaches Sales, Procurement and International Business as part of the modules of the Economist study programme, participated in professional training at Cadi Ayyad University in the capital of Morocco, Marrakesh, between 15 and 23 September as part of Erasmus+.
Cadi Ayyad University, also known as UCA, is one of the most important academic and research centres in Morocco. With its rich history, wide range of study programmes and strong focus on research, the university has established itself as a prestigious educational institution that attracts students from all corners of the country and abroad. It is located in the vibrant and historically rich city of Marrakesh, which gives the university a unique cultural and geographical context.
Cadi Ayyad University is known for its diverse programmes, which include everything from fundamental sciences such as physics, chemistry and biology to advanced engineering programmes, information technologies and medical sciences. With more than 140,000 students and a wide network of campuses throughout the Marrakesh-Safi region, the university produces generations of graduates every year who contribute to the development of Moroccan society and economy.
As part of the visit, lecturer Dr. Mežnar met with representatives of the international office, including the director of international projects Mr. Elafigh Brahim and the director of the office for international cooperation Mr. Hicham Hakim, and presented to them Academia Institute of Technology, its educational programmes, its potential and opportunities for cooperation. During his visit, Dr. Mežnar also had the opportunity to meet with law and economics students and present to them Academia, the study programmes and the method of study.
One of the key pillars of UCA's success is its emphasis on research. The university hosts several scientific institutes and research centres that are active in fields such as biotechnology, energy, ecosystems and sustainable development. Many researchers from UCA participate in international projects, which strengthens the university's global recognition and reputation.
In recent decades, UCA has established numerous partnerships with universities and research institutes around the world. These collaborations enable students and researchers to access international opportunities for study, research and knowledge exchange. The university regularly participates in programmes such as Erasmus+, which allows students to spend part of their education abroad and return with new experiences and knowledge.
UCA has several campuses, the main one being in Marrakesh, where the most important faculties and research centres are located. The campuses are modernly equipped and offer students a range of support services such as libraries, research laboratories, student halls of residence and recreational facilities. Marrakesh as a city offers a rich cultural life, from historical monuments and vibrant markets to numerous cultural events that allow students to immerse themselves in the local culture.
Despite its great growth and success, Cadi Ayyad University faces challenges such as increasing student numbers, the need for greater funding for research and improvement of infrastructure. However, it remains focused on its vision – to become an even stronger regional and global player in the field of higher education and research.
