The name of the university was given in honor of the Saadian Sultan Abu Marwan Abd al-Malik whose troops were victorious at the battle of Oued El-Makhazine also called Battle of the Three Kings against the King of Portugal Sebastian I and his allies and located next to Ksar El Kébir
Carried out from a first nucleus installed in 1982, the creation of the Abdelmalek Essaâdi University came at an opportune moment when Morocco had undertaken, both economically and politically, a regionalization strategy, aimed at strengthening decentralization, by creating a university nucleus whose primary purpose is to adapt the potential in terms of training and research to the specific needs of the North-West region.
