As the national university of the Kingdom of Bahrain, the university has a mandate to lead the nation in terms of human capital development, leading innovation, contributing to economic development and leading society.
Technology and the rapidly changing external environment, which is transforming teaching and research, are challenging the traditional view of the university. Students and wider society require year round access to high quality courses and flexible modes of delivery. The economic context of the GCC and challenges that we currently face of growing the private sector are also challenges that the University of Bahrain must respond to through focusing on producing a high quality and skilled workforce and the next generation of leaders.
The University has a clear focus on a number of areas that will be key to our success, including the newly established teaching and leadership unit to advance our teaching methods and curricula. Targeted and innovative approaches to research through international and industry collaboration will promote our reputation both regionally and beyond. University of Bahrain has significant international reach and global standing through its students and graduates, research and academic partnerships. Technology is key not only to enhance teaching and learning but also to create a SMART campus that is fitting with the digital age that we now live in. The University of Bahrain is central to the economic growth of Bahrain through offering programs and courses that are aligned with the national economic strategy whilst also ensuring sustainability through operating as a commercial and entrepreneurial university.
As the world evolves so does the University of Bahrain, however what is constant is the teacher student relationship. Our university has to ensure that our teachers have the right skills, access to technology and professional development to deliver a high quality experience to our students. Our graduates will go on to lead in government, industry, and society and become global ambassadors for the university and Bahrain.
In September, the university will launch its transformation plan that will provide the platform to establishing the university as a world-class institute and a leading university in the Arab world. Our key strategic pillars will focus on producing high quality skilled and creative graduates, technology led teaching and learning, integration with industry, enhancing postgraduate programs, research and strengthening international links.
The impact of the University of Bahrain is global, through our proud alumni, networks, collaborative links, international workforce and students. With over 2,000 staff, 26,000 students, and 60,000 alumni, the university is one of the largest in the region with a campus that matches its status as Bahrain’s flagship university. Over the next four years, our ambition is to establish ourselves globally and that requires the move to knowledge creation through developing our innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem as we aim to lead the national economy.

Thank you once again for doing your part to keep Edarabia the most trusted education source.
UoB is a huge university in a small city. You need to be the one to motivate yourself academically, to get into the classes you want and need for your degree, to meet people, and to take advantage of everything the school has to offer.
