The Faculty of Governance, Economics and Social Sciences of the Mohammed VI Polytechnic University offers a program that aims at producing high qualified professionals in social sciences (sociology, political science or anthropology) or in behavioral sciences (psychology) to reflect on issues related to public policies in Morocco and Africa. This program is designed to equip students with strong interdisciplinary skills for developing innovative and effective research. After a pre-doctoral year intended to strengthen methodological capacities in the various behavioral and social sciences areas, the students selected have three years to prepare their thesis. The program aims to train very high-level researchers and decision-makers, capable of responding to the challenges of development on the scale of the African continent.
