LJMU in Bahrain
LJMU welcomes Bahraini students.
LJMU has a special relationship with Bahrain. To continue the development of our strong partnership, we work with international higher education councillors including:
Our Faculty of Engineering and Technology also offer opportunities for students to study and obtain an LJMU degree at the University of Bahrain.
Liverpool has been voted ‘the coolest place to live in the UK’ by the Times of London. Our current Bahraini students value the city’s diversity and multiculturalism as well as its world-famous waterfront and lively atmosphere.
Students can gain up to £6,000 for postgraduate study with LJMU’s Middle East and North Africa Scholarship. Check the information below to find out more about our generous scholarships and application processes.
Our Academic Year
In the UK, our academic year runs from September to May/June for most undergraduate courses and our postgraduate courses usually run from September through September. We have a small number of courses with the option of a January intake, so look out for the course specific information on our website for your potential start date.
