Applied Science University (Bahrain)

Applied Science University was established in 2004 making it one of the first private universities in the Kingdom of Bahrain. ASU is striving to become a leading university promoting excellence in applied education and research in Bahrain and the region. Furthermore, ASU is committed to enhancing graduates’ employability to help them compete in international markets.

ASU aims to support the economic and social development of the Kingdom of Bahrain by providing degree programmes at both the undergraduate and post graduate levels. ASU offers 15 undergraduate programmes across four colleges, including six dual award programmes in collaboration with London South Bank University (LSBU), in the United Kingdom. In addition, ASU offers seven master programmes in both the College of Law and the College of Administrative Sciences. These programmes support the scientific research at ASU. 

The Deanship of Research and Graduate Studies forms one of the most important pillars of Applied Science University, Bahrain. This comes from the fact that research plays an important role in any academic institution. Research has a major impact on ASU’s accreditation and ranking and for that reason a strategic research plan has been established in line with the Higher Education Council guidelines in Bahrain. We aim to increase both the quantity and quality of our research output and work hand in hand with the industries in Bahrain and GCC countries.

The Career Development and Alumni Affairs Office at ASU serves as a bridge between the university and its graduates. Its mission and objectives revolve around maintaining and enhancing the graduates’ database, overseeing the Alumni Club’s board of directors, organizing events, workshops, seminars, and activities that contribute to the professional development of the university’s graduates, including an annual Career Fair. Additionally, the office strives to provide job and training opportunities for both graduates and students, while establishing sustainable relationships with public and private sector institutions.
