Founded 2002 (chartered as Gulf University by Royal Decree — not to be confused with the older Arabian Gulf University (AGU, 1980, GCC-regional) also based in Manama). Private university in Sanad, Central Governorate, founded 2002 by Royal Decree. Colleges: Engineering, Business Administration, Computing and Information Sciences, Law, and the Graduate Studies. English-medium instruction. DISAMBIGUATION CRITICAL: Gulf University Bahrain (this entry, private 2002, Sanad) is NOT the same as the older ARABIAN GULF UNIVERSITY (AGU, founded 1980 by GCC governments collectively, GCC-regional public institution based in Manama with focus on medical/scientific research). AGU is not in this batch — may be in future Bahrain expansion.

Always confirm a university's current accreditation with the named national authority, and that the qualification is recognised in the country where you intend to use it, before enrolling or paying any fees. AlmiStudy records information to help you check — it is not an endorsement.

Why this is free

AlmiStudy is part of AlmiWorld. It is free because its purpose is to help people find their way to education — and the wider project supports the Shamool Foundation, a free school for street children in Lahore (60 students, lunch, books and uniforms provided).
