Founded in 2002 by Shaikh Dr. Khalid Bin Mohammed AlKhalifa, the University College of Bahrain (UCB) is a non-profit private institution of higher education, licensed by the Ministry of Education. Since its founding, UCB has grown to be Bahrain›s most student-centered university. The university has earned a glowing reputation for its combined aim of achieving excellence in education and enabling students to achieve their goals through their unwavering commitment.
The degree programmes were originally designed and developed around a USA and Canadian higher education model of curriculum content, assessment and delivery pattern, through a formal relationship with McMaster University in Canada; which provided advice and the initial curriculum. Hence, UCB provides a rigorous and internationally-informed curriculum based on a semester credit hour system in the USA/Canadian liberal arts tradition.

It educates students and instills new knowledge by uniting the rigour, relevance, creativity and intellectual dynamics of business and the liberal arts, dedicated to quality education that is benchmarked against international standards and attuned to the needs of the region it serves.
