Pioneering Student-Centred Higher Education
by: BTM - Wed, 02 Apr 2025
The University College of Bahrain (UCB) was founded in 2002 by Prof. Shaikh Khalid Bin Mohammed Al Khalifa, driven by a vision to establish a private higher education institution that prioritises students while excelling academically.
UCB has built a reputation as a student-cantered university, recognised for its commitment to academic excellence and student success. The university offers undergraduate programmes in Business Administration, Information Technology and Communications & Multimedia, along with a Master of Business Administration programme.
Its educational philosophy integrates creativity, business dynamics, liberal arts and sciences to ensure high-quality education that meets local and international standards. Its continuously updated curriculum equips graduates with the knowledge and skills required to become leaders in their fields.
UCB fosters innovation, teamwork and critical thinking to inspire personal growth and lifelong learning. Its commitment extends beyond academics to serve the social, cultural and economic needs of Bahrain and the wider region.
The university’s pursuit of excellence has been recognised through prestigious achievements. It has received a quality assurance certificate from the Jordanian Accreditation and Quality Assurance Commission for Higher Education Institutes (AQACHEI). The Saudi Ministry of Education has listed UCB on its Safeer platform as a recommended institution.
Most recently, the Board of Trustees for Higher Education granted UCB a four-year institutional accreditation.
As UCB continues to advance greater milestones, it invites aspiring students to join for the 2025-2026 academic year and embark on a transformative educational journey. At UCB, you will become part of a vibrant community dedicated to shaping future leaders.
