Your gateway to the world: International student opportunities at EUB

Bahrain’s strategic position in the heart of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) presents a unique and compelling advantage for students at Euro University of Bahrain (EUB): unparalleled access to the region’s leading economic centres.

While Bahrain itself offers a dynamic and growing economy, its proximity to major hubs and key drivers of regional and global business like Riyadh, Dubai, and Abu Dhabi, makes Bahrain a strategic choice to explore and participate in the region.  (Bahrain is only a one-hour drive from Saudi Arabia and a 40-minute flight from Dubai and Abu Dhabi).

Bahrain’s advantageous location allows EUB students to complement their academic studies with real-world insights gained through internships, industry collaborations, and networking events within these thriving markets. Imagine pursuing your degree in a supportive and culturally rich environment while simultaneously connecting with the innovation and enterprise shaping the future of the GCC. This will enriche the academic experience and provide a significant career advantage, equipping EUB graduates with the cross-cultural understanding and professional networks essential for success in today’s interconnected world. It’s a unique proposition: a high-quality education combined with direct access to the region’s most influential business landscapes.

Experience the best of both worlds – a world-class education in a vibrant and modern setting. Bahrain is a kingdom of historical coexistence where tolerant people are friendly and welcoming. It is a place that offers a rich cultural heritage, a thriving business environment, and a welcoming atmosphere. Experience the warmth of our welcoming community and create lifelong memories in Bahrain.

Bahrain secured a milestone earning first place globally on the Expat Essentials Index for the second consecutive year, additionally securing a coveted position within the top 10 best destinations for expats in the 2023 Expat Insider Survey by InterNations. Bahrain ranks joint first as the preferred destination for expats in the Middle East and North Africa.
