Students at Rabat Business School will now be able to earn both a Moroccan and a French master’s degree through a new partnership with France’s University Polytechnic Hauts-de-France (UPHF).
The new programme, launched within the school’s Master’s in Accounting, Control and Audit (CCA), is designed for students who want to build careers in accounting, auditing and corporate finance.
Under the agreement, graduates will receive a degree from Rabat Business School and a French national master’s degree from UPHF’s Institute of Business Administration (IAE) in Valenciennes.
One of the programme’s main advantages is that it gives students exemptions from five of the seven exams required for France’s Higher Diploma in Accounting and Management (DSCG), a key qualification for becoming a chartered accountant.
The exemptions cover finance, management control, information systems management, business English and the dissertation.
Students will also receive preparation for the two remaining DSCG exams in legal, tax and social management, and accounting and auditing. Passing those exams allows them to complete the DSCG and move on to the three-year professional training period needed to qualify as a chartered accountant in France.
Rabat Business School said the programme was created in response to growing demand from audit firms, multinational companies and financial institutions for professionals with strong accounting, finance and analytical skills.
Graduates could go on to work in audit firms, corporate finance departments, management control roles or financial consulting, including mergers and acquisitions and risk management.
The school will continue to offer its existing “360° Vision of Finance” track for students looking for broader training across accounting, finance and management control.
Founded in 2010, Rabat Business School is part of the International University of Rabat (UIR). The school holds AACSB and EQUIS accreditations, a distinction held by fewer than 1% of business schools worldwide.
Rabat Business School currently has more than 3,000 students. Across all its faculties, UIR has more than 10,000 students for the 2025-2026 academic year, partnerships with more than 175 international institutions and 120 corporate partners.
The university says nearly 40% of its students receive partial or full scholarships.
