The exam is open to candidates holding a scientific baccalaureate or equivalent, with a minimum calculated grade of 12/20. Registration can be completed online or in person at either campus, subject to available slots.
UPF noted that candidates admitted through this exam who later secure admission to a public dental faculty and complete their registration there will be eligible for a full refund of fees paid to UPF. This measure is intended to ease access to higher education for aspiring dental professionals.
For the 2025–2026 academic year, UPF is also introducing a special scholarship program to support outstanding students and assist families in financing their educational projects. Details on eligibility and application procedures will be provided during the registration process.
UPF highlighted that its Faculty of Dental Medicine offers a rigorous academic program combining advanced clinical practice, cutting-edge technology, and personalized educational support.

The Private University of Fez (UPF) holds the distinction of being the first private university in Morocco's spiritual and cultural capital to earn official state recognition.
Established in 2006, the university has grown into a leading institution with seven independent schools offering more than 45 programs across a wide range of disciplines.

John Bolton's plan to reverse Trump's Western Sahara decision with business incentives
John Bolton is proposing a strategy to Algeria and the Polisario aimed at persuading former U.S. President Donald Trump to reverse his recognition of Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara, a decision officially made on December 10, 2020. According to Bolton, securing Trump's support for organizing a referendum on the territory would require giving him a «motivation», as he recently explained in an interview with a Spanish media outlet. Referring to Trump's once-ambitious—and since abandoned—plan to turn Gaza into the «French Riviera of the Middle East», Bolton suggested to the Polisario and Algerian authorities that «Western Sahara has a vast Atlantic coastline. I can envision hotel complexes and casinos». He went on to say, «If Trump is convinced that his Trump Corporation could win a concession in the region to develop hotel resorts, it might catch his interest and lead him to support a referendum». For context, back in 2002, Bachir Mustapha Sayed proposed offering the United States a military base in the Sahara in exchange for recognition of the so-called «SADR», once the conflict had been resolved in the Polisario's favor. The move resulted in his prolonged marginalization. Today, the idea of incentivizing Trump to shift his position on the Sahara appears to be gaining traction in Algeria. Prime Minister Nadir Larbaoui's government recently introduced a bill in Parliament allowing foreign investors to hold up to 80% of the capital in untapped hydrocarbon and mining projects, thereby reducing the share of state-owned enterprises to just 20%. Meanwhile, President Abdelmadjid Tebboune hosted delegations from American oil giants Chevron and ExxonMobil on June 23 and 24.

UPF Partners with Arizona State University to Launch American International Institute in Morocco
Rabat – The Private University of Fez (UPF) announced Wednesday a landmark partnership with Arizona State University (ASU) to establish the American International Institute, a new hub for dual-degree education in Morocco and the wider region. Scheduled to launch on July 9, 2025, the institute aims to expand access to high-quality, English-language education in fields such as management, digital technologies, engineering, and health sciences. Students will graduate with both Moroccan state-recognized diplomas and American university degrees. In joining the ASU–Cintana Alliance, UPF becomes part of a global network of universities designed to deliver internationally competitive programs while remaining rooted in local contexts. 'This partnership is a game-changer not only for UPF but for the entire country,' said Mohammed Aziz Lahlou, President of UPF, in a statement. 'Our students will gain access to opportunities that were previously out of reach — combining Moroccan and American degrees, learning from international faculty, and experiencing a globally focused education.' Addressing Morocco's education gap The initiative comes as more Moroccan students seek international degrees. According to UPF , nearly 70,000 Moroccan students currently study abroad each year, highlighting a gap in domestic offerings that meet global standards, particularly in English. A market survey conducted by the university suggests strong demand for such programs: 75% of respondents welcomed the UPF–ASU concept, and one-third expressed a preference for programs taught exclusively in English. Through the institute, students will benefit from: Courses designed by ASU and aligned with international standards Masterclasses, global signature courses, and international competitions Research and professional development with ASU faculty Study-abroad opportunities within the ASU–Cintana network An immersive, English-language learning environment A global vision Arizona State University, named the most innovative university in the US by U.S. News & World Report for 10 consecutive years, emphasized its mission to democratize higher education. 'Knowledge should no longer be a scarce resource for a few; it must expand globally — and that is precisely what we are doing,' said ASU President Michael Crow. Douglas L. Becker, Founder and Chairman of Cintana Education, described the partnership as a 'visionary step' for higher education in North Africa. ' UPF is not just expanding its academic offerings — it is aligning with one of the world's most innovative universities and a forward-thinking global network to deliver high-quality education to Moroccan students,' Becker said. UPF aims to grow the American International Institute into a multi-campus network within Morocco, with a target of 4,000 students by 2034. The programs will focus on employability, corporate immersion, and digital, student-centered learning. Founded in 2006, UPF is Morocco's first state-recognized private university in Fez. With campuses in Fez and Rabat, it currently offers more than 45 programs spanning dental medicine, engineering, architecture, political science, health sciences, business, and management.
