Algiers – November 2025 – In an affirmation of Algeria’s rising academic stature on the global stage, the Djilali Liabes University of Sidi Bel Abbès has secured an unprecedented continental and regional distinction in the prestigious Shanghai Global Ranking of Academic Subjects. According to a statement issued Tuesday by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, the university now stands as the top-ranked institution in Africa and the Maghreb in the field of Civil Engineering, placing within the 201–300 category of the world’s best universities in this discipline.
This exceptional performance marks a milestone not only for Sidi Bel Abbès but also for Algerian higher education as a whole, highlighting the strategic depth and scientific rigor that have propelled the institution into the upper echelons of global competitiveness. By achieving first place across the African and Maghreb regions, the university demonstrates an academic excellence that aligns with the country’s broader ambitions in engineering, research, and innovation.
The distinction does not stop there. The Djilali Liabes University also earned first place in the Maghreb and second place in Africa in Mechanical Engineering, ranking within the 301–400 tier worldwide. This dual achievement reflects a sustained institutional commitment to advanced engineering education, high-impact research output, and the cultivation of scientific talent capable of meeting the challenges of industrial and technological development.
These rankings, derived from one of the world’s most rigorous and respected academic assessment systems, underscore the university’s expanding research capacity, international visibility, and alignment with global scientific standards. They also reinforce Algeria’s growing prominence in key strategic disciplines—civil and mechanical engineering—both essential to national infrastructure, industrial transformation, and technological sovereignty.
The Ministry commended this accomplishment as a clear testament to the quality of Algerian academic institutions and the dedication of faculty, researchers, and students whose collective work continues to elevate national higher education on the international map.
