ABOUT THE PROGRAMME
The Bridging Programme is open to students who have completed a diploma or associate degree in related disciplines from the Kingdom of Bahrain or an equivalent qualification from outside the Kingdom, provided the certificate is accredited by the relevant authorities in the issuing country. This programme is designed to meet current industry standards, particularly the Engineering Council UK (ECUK) Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC). The curriculum focuses on strengthening students’ numerical, analytical, and practical abilities, supported by an enquiry-driven and innovative mindset that employers highly value. Mechanical engineering is a broad and diverse field, offering many specialisations. This programme provides students with a strong foundation suitable for progressing into a wide range of mechanical engineering areas after graduation. The programme leads to a dual award from the Applied Science University (ASU Bahrain) and London South Bank University (LSBU-UK). |
