Both theoretical and practical, this program of excellence consists of two integrated preparatory years followed by specialization cycles in various fields of computer science.

- Preparatory Cycle:

This course is tailored to:

Provide a requisite foundation in mathematics, probability, and statistics for today's world of data science.
Develop the necessary prerequisites in terms of fundamental concepts in computer science.
Develop communication skills in English and French.
Acquire the working methods and techniques essential for further study and professional development

- Engineering Cycle:

The main objective of the UM6P College of Computing – School of Computer Science engineering program is to train computer engineers in observing, identifying and modeling real-world problems. Engineers capable of participating in the study and implementation of large-scale digital projects. This training offers in-depth courses that cover a wide range of new trends in the digital field.

The thorough design of the course curriculum focuses on new technologies and ensures an optimal learning experience for students who wish to join leading IT companies, work on innovative digital projects in prestigious research laboratories or launch their own start-ups.

In addition to technical skills, students will also acquire soft skills (communication, group work and English) and business skills (innovation, entrepreneurship, project management, etc.) to interact effectively in their future work environments.

Pr. Ismail BERRADA

Ismail Berrada is an associate professor at the School of Computer Science of Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P College of Computing – School of Computer Science ). He has obtained:

- A graduate degree in computer engineering from ENSEIRB, INP Bordeaux, 2002.

- A postgraduate diploma (DEA) in parallel computing (HPC) from the University of Bordeaux 1, 2002.

- A PhD in computer science from the University of Bordeaux 1, 2005.

He has worked for several years as a lecturer at the University of La Rochelle and as an associate professor at the University Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah, Fez.

He has participated in several European projects: Erasmus + (E-val project, Satelit, ...), Tempus (Pa@lmes) Marie Curie (Tarot), ANR (Averroès, ...), as well as Moroccan academic and industrial projects (Move, Autoroute du Maroc, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Defense (National Defense Administration), an HPC core for USMBA, CMU-Africa,...).

His research is mainly focused on the application of AI techniques for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), automatic processing of Arabic language and its dialects (NLP) in the context of social media mining (profiling, deception detection, sentiment analysis, humor, sarcasm, offensive language detection), and recently AI for cybersecurity (malware detection, URL Phishing, and IDS intrusion detection systems). His work has led to several publications in top conferences and journals (NAACL, SemEval, IEEE Trans ITS, ..)
