I am pleased to welcome you to Arab Open University, the leading University in quality education for all; the place that is dedicated to the development of society, through knowledge, scientific research, innovation and community service. It is a non-profit developmental project based on the initiative of the late HRH Prince
Talal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud (may God rest his soul) in 1996, which, since its founding, has prided itself on contributing to humanity by disseminating and sharing knowledge. AOU Bahrain has long stood as a source and edifice of Knowledge, to which students from all segments of society, regardless of their gender, colour, ethnic backgrounds; and those who come from various places with varying economic, social status, attend and enroll at with affordable fees.
Arab Open University was founded based on the belief that every person in the Arab world has the right to have access to higher education opportunities in order to contribute to the development of his/her country. Hence, the idea of establishing Arab Open University began in order to achieve its unique objectives.
Arab Open University has become the first university in the Arab world to adopt open education, which is based on the use of latest advanced technologies and digital methods of communication that transcend barriers of time and space. Therefore, AOU has succeeded in consolidating this type of education in the Arab world, based on a global partnership with The Open University in the United Kingdom.
Arab Open University has become one of the educational institutions to provide educational services in nine Arab States in order to achieve its lofty mission. The University strives to add new academic programmes in order to keep pace with the innovations of the local and global labour markets.
Last but not least, let us not forget the credit of the owner of the AOU initiative who contributed and supported the success of the University, and let us ask God to extend his spirit to heaven and to help us complete the journey and to pursue the goals of AOU.
