editWith traditional core competences in civil engineering and regional planning EHTP offers high-level programmes in an extensive range of fields, from Computer Science - Software engineering, Electrical engineering to Meteorology engineering and Geographical Information Systems engineering.
In addition to its technical education, the EHTP founded in 2001 a cultural modulus entitled "Personal Initiation Project" (PIP). It offers an occasion for young students to carry out a cultural and associative project in the course of their studies.
Besides Academic training, the Hassania School of Public Works is the leader in terms of in-service training. The school offers a multidisciplinary MBA training in International Management in partnership with ENPC in France.
Three major types of programmes are on offer :
