Prince Moulay Hassan Prepares for Doctorate in International Relations and Geostrategic Sciences at Mohammed VI University

Rabat – November 22, 2025

His Royal Highness Prince Moulay Hassan, Crown Prince, continues his academic journey with steadfastness and distinction, as he prepares to undertake a doctoral dissertation in the field of international relations and geostrategic sciences, after successfully completing a Master’s program at the Faculty of Governance, Economic and Social Sciences of Mohammed VI Polytechnic University. This achievement represents an advanced step in his academic training, reflecting a commitment to high academic achievement and strategic preparation for the future of national leadership.

According to reports published by some Moroccan weeklies, His Highness’s academic path has been accompanied by many questions about the students who study with him, the mechanisms of their selection, the nature of the courses and examinations he undergoes, as well as the identity of the professors supervising his research. In this context, sources confirmed that Prince Moulay Hassan follows the same courses and assessments that his colleagues undergo within the faculty’s lecture halls, giving his presence a symbolic dimension that reinforces the image of a modest student, without any distinction separating him from other students.

However, reports indicated that his academic path is not limited to the regular university program, but includes advanced parallel training comprising special lectures supervised by distinguished professors and international experts in the fields of governance, diplomacy, and strategic security. It also includes closed workshops on international protocol, negotiation, and geopolitical relations, in addition to public meetings with political and economic officials inside and outside Morocco. Additional subjects include specialized studies not available to regular students, such as the history of the royal institution, Moroccan diplomacy, and major strategic state files, including Sahara issues, African integration, energy, and climate change.

Distinguished Academic Background

Prince Moulay Hassan previously completed the Master’s program in international relations successfully in May 2025, receiving his degree from the Faculty of Governance, Economic and Social Sciences at Mohammed VI University, one of the leading universities in Morocco and the region, known for its focus on strategic and developmental disciplines. This achievement crowns a study career full of diligence, consistent with the royal institution’s philosophy of integrating the Crown Prince into the natural student experience, while ensuring strategic training that prepares him to assume national leadership responsibilities in the future.

This academic path represents a model reflecting the balance between commitment to general university standards and specialized qualification, enhancing Morocco’s role as a center for advanced higher education in the fields of diplomacy and geopolitics.
