Morocco Business School Ranks Top in Africa and Middle East

Students at Morocco's Rabat Business School are telling the world they're getting an education worth celebrating.

The International University of Rabat's business program just landed on the Best School Experience 2026 list, announced by independent French platform Speak & Act. Current students rated their experience 4.46 out of 5, while alumni scored it even higher at 4.54 out of 5.

These aren't just numbers on paper. They reflect real satisfaction with teaching quality, career support, and campus life from the people who know best.

Dean Nicolas Arnaud says the recognition hits differently because it comes directly from students. "It reflects the collective commitment of our academic and administrative teams to place the student experience at the center of our academic project, while preparing responsible, competent, and globally minded managers," he explained.

The school's momentum keeps building. Last September, Rabat Business School jumped from 32nd to 20th place worldwide in the Financial Times Master's in Management rankings. That made it the only business school from Africa and the Middle East to appear in the prestigious global list.

The Ripple Effect

This achievement signals something bigger than one school's success. It shows that world class business education is thriving in Africa, challenging outdated assumptions about where students need to go for top tier learning.

The recognition could inspire more investment in African education and give students across the continent proof that excellence exists closer to home. When graduates from Rabat Business School enter the job market earning competitive salaries, they're not just building their own futures but paving the way for others.

Morocco is showing the world that academic excellence knows no borders.
