Educators have long considered on what it is to be an educated person, a successfully educated one. Some traditionalists view student success as getting high scores in standardised examinations, beating a competitor in a football or basketball match, or performing duplicative errands in the workplace. Some would delineate success as the ability of a student to accumulate material wealth, to be economically independent after getting a degree. On the other hand, others believe that the measure of one’s success is to be educated to be prepared to enter the workforce such that the knowledge and skills learned from the academic institution can be applied.

AMA International University-Bahrain (AMAIUB) has redefined student success as something beyond the acquisition of basic knowledge and skills, as reflected in its mission of producing graduates who are competent, professional and entrepreneurial who will contribute to both the Kingdom and the world’s socio-economic efficiency, equity and sustainability.

Primarily, the AMAIUB carries out its mission to ensure the success of its students by providing them a strong foundation of practical knowledge and life-long learning skills through its degree programmes, namely: Master of Business Administration (MBA), Bachelor of Science in Business Informatics (BSBI) and Bachelor of Science in International Business (BSIB), which are accredited by the European Council for Business Education; and the Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (BSCS), Bachelor of Science in Informatics Engineering (BSIE) and Bachelor of Science in Mechatronics Engineering (BSME), which are all ABET-accredited.

Moreover, AMAIUB concurs with Bahrain’s Higher Education Council’s directive to guarantee that higher education institutions work towards international standards and focus on having curricula that equip students with the skills that are required in the 21st century.

Heeding the call of the Higher Education Council (HEC), AMAIUB submitted itself to Institutional Accreditation (IA) in July 2018 under the rigorous scrutiny of the accreditors coming from the British Accreditation Council. Recently, the university reached another notable milestone by attaining the much-coveted IA and achieving the quality seal of the HEC. Since it is now institutionally accredited, AMAIUB is opening its doors to students from across the GCC region and the world with the aim of producing more of the best skilled graduates of choice locally, regionally and globally.

AMAIUB’s holistic, humanistic and student-centred delivery of education has undeniably paved the way for the success of its students and graduates. They epitomise the university’s mission of delivering relevant, innovative and quality education to fit-for-purpose students through its programmes which are committed to pursuing practical knowledge and skills, delivering curricula that are responsive to the socio-economic requirements of Bahrain and the region, and producing competent, professional, and entrepreneurial graduates imbued with life-long learning skills and ethical values. They are now leaders of their own lives, builders of their dreams and aspirations, and conscious members of the international milieu. They personify AMAIUB’s definition of successfully educated individuals who are active makers and shapers of the world.
