The vision of the President of UCB (Shaikh Dr Khalid Bin Mohammed Al-Khalifa, who is a member of the Royal Family of Bahrain) was to be build a "Western-style" quality-based university to serve both the Kingdom of Bahrain and the wider Gulf Region. The President was awarded his own PhD from a UK Business School with a QAAHE(UK) "excellent" rating. Many students are drawn from the royal and leading families; and employees of major corporations and public services in the Gulf region with about 55% female intake.
