The École Nationale Supérieure des Mines de Rabat (abbreviated as ENSMR), and called also Mines Rabat in French or Rabat School of Mines in English is one of the most prestigious engineering schools in Morocco (considered to be one of the top 3 engineering schools in Morocco.)
The previous school name was École Nationale de l'Industrie Minérale (abbreviated as ENIM) or National School of the Mineral Industry in English.
Based in Rabat, Mines Rabat is one of the oldest engineering schools in Morocco. Mines Rabat is a member of the Conférence des grandes écoles (CGE). The course for the engineering program lasts three years and the admission is done mainly by the common national competition (CNC) after making two or three years in preparatory classes.
Despite its small size (around 300 students are accepted each year, after a very selective exam), it is a crucial part of the infrastructure of the Moroccan industry.
Rabat School of Mines (Mines Rabat) is often compared to Mines ParisTech, Mines Saint-Étienne, and Mines Nancy schools in France, and to Colorado School of Mines in the USA.
Admissions
The admission to Mines Rabat in the normal cycle is made through a very selective entrance examination, and requires at least two years of preparation after high school in preparatory classes. Admission includes a week of written examinations during the spring followed sometimes by oral examinations over the summer.
Rankings
Mines Rabat is ranked among the top 3 Moroccan Grandes Ecoles, though it doesn't appear in international rankings due to its very limited number of students (300 students for the class of 2016).
History
The school was established in 1972 and now about 300 Moroccan students are admitted each year. Foreign students, having followed a class préparatoire curriculum (generally, African students) can also enter through the same competitive exam. Finally, some foreign students come for a single year from other top institutions in Africa.
Preparatory classes: The classic admission path into Grandes Écoles
To enter the Diplôme d'Ingénieur curriculum of Grandes Écoles, students traditionally have to complete the first two years of their curriculum in the very intensive preparatory classes, most often in an institution outside the Grande École.
University students pursuing an Associate of Science can take the university admission path examination: Admitted students admitted with an associates from universities need to pursue a 3 years cycle of engineering at the school to get the "Diplôme d'Ingénieur"
University graduates with one of the following degrees can also apply to get admitted to the engineering cycle of the school.
- Bachelor of Science: Admitted graduates admitted with a bachelor's from universities need to pursue a 3 years cycle of engineering at the school to get the "Diplôme d'Ingénieur"
- Master of Science/Master of Technology: Admitted graduates admitted with a master's from universities need to pursue a 2 years cycle of engineering at the school to get the "Diplôme d'Ingénieur"
The Diplôme d'Ingénieur (Combined Bachelor's/Master's degree in Engineering)
Grandes Écoles of Engineering usually offers several master's degree programs, the most important of which is the Diplôme d'Ingénieur (Engineer's Degree equivalent to a combined BS/MS in Engineering).
Because of the strong selection of the students and of the very high quality of the curriculum, the Diplôme d'Ingénieur (combined BS/MS degree in Engineering)) gives the right to bear the title of an Ingénieur, is one of the most prestigious degrees in Morocco. The degree is protected by law and submitted to strict government supervision. It is more valued by companies than a university degree in terms of career opportunities and wages. At the end of these preparatory classes, the students take nationwide, extremely selective competitive exams for entrance into Grandes Écoles, where they complete their curriculum for three years.
- 1st year at Mines Rabat - equivalent to - senior year of BSc.
- 2nd year at Mines Rabat - equivalent to - 1st year of MSc.
- 3rd (final) year at Mines Rabat - equivalent to - 2nd year of MSc.
Doctoral program (DEng)
The school also has a doctoral program open to students with a master's degree or equivalent. Doctoral students generally work in the laboratories of the school; they may also work in external institutes or establishments. The Doctor of Engineering (DEng) program takes three to five years to complete.
Programs
The Mines Rabat has multiple programs for the combined BS/MS in Engineering and the DEng:
- Civil Engineering
- Environmental Engineering
- Mining Engineering
- Process Engineering
- Energy Engineering
- Mechanical Engineering
- Computer Science
- Systems Engineering
- Industrial Engineering
