The British University of Bahrain is one of the newest Universities to be established in the Kingdom of Bahrain. Working in partnership with the University of Salford-Manchester, they bring to Bahrain British degrees from one of the UK’s leading universities. Bahrain students can now commence and study an Undergraduate UK Bachelors degree or Postgraduate UK Masters degree, exclusively on their state-of-the-art University campus, here in Bahrain, or they have the option to transfer their course studies to the University of Salford, in Manchester, at the start of any of their subsequent academic years.

The students’ degree certificate will be proudly awarded by the University of Salford, both of which are fully recognized by the Higher Education Council-HEC of Bahrain.
