University of Bejaia: Over 8,500 New High School Graduates Expected

The University of Bejaia is preparing to welcome a new cohort of students under optimal conditions. Following the initial pre-registration phase, 8,535 high school graduates have been assigned across the institution’s four campuses: Aboudaou, El-Kseur, Amizour, and Targa Ouzemour. Among them, 568 students were directed to the Amizour Higher Teacher Training School (ENS) branch, affiliated with the University of Setif. Final enrollment figures will be released on August 28, once all registration steps conclude.

Students whose placements have been confirmed must clear their registration fees online using the Edahabia card. Concurrently, the window designated for appeals, reassignments, ENS admission interviews, and handling applicants who received none of their selected choices remains open. Results from this secondary phase will be published on Wednesday, prior to final registrations scheduled from August 7 through August 9.

Transfer procedures, both internal and external, will run from August 14 to August 20, while the final period is designated for handling special cases. Requests for university transport must be submitted between August 5 and August 10, followed by housing applications set from August 13 to August 17. A later date will be announced for scholarship applications.

With 8,822 high school diploma recipients this year, the University of Bejaia expresses full confidence in its overall hosting capacity. It estimates an ability to absorb up to 10,000 new entrants if required. This operational headroom will allow the integration of new enrollees into an academic population that stood at 37,393 students during the 2025-2026 academic term.

Simultaneously, the institution will bid farewell to a large graduating class. Between 7,800 and 8,000 students are slated to earn their degrees this term, with approximately half—or more—leaving the university permanently after final deliberations.

The university also continues updating its academic program offerings to address labor market demands and broader economic shifts. Key additions for the upcoming academic year include a state engineering degree track in Mining Engineering and Metal Processing featuring national recruitment.

The local Setif ENS branch established in Amizour is likewise expanding its curriculum, now providing training for secondary school educators in natural sciences and physics.

The academic portfolio is further augmented by two high-value specialties: Electronic Commerce and Digital Economy Law along with Law and Artificial Intelligence.

New engineering tracks centered on energy transition and sustainable development are also available. These encompass fields such as civil and industrial construction, energetics and maintenance, chemical process engineering, automation and smart systems, energy conversion, as well as electrical networks and power sources.

In total, the University of Bejaia presents 222 academic programs divided across 71 bachelor’s degrees, 139 master’s degrees, and 10 specialized tracks (engineering, medicine, and pharmacy). This offering additionally features 28 professionalizing tracks created to support rapid employment entry for graduates.
