Can you tell me something about student life, student clubs, sports, and other activities?

The Applied Science University has a vibrant social scene and a healthy work/social life balance is promoted through various clubs and the Student Council. Significant events such as International Day, World Health Day, National Day and so on draw huge participation from across the University and the wider society.

The University also has a very strong sporting ethos and its football, basketball and volleyball teams (both male and female) lead the rankings of inter-university sporting championships. In fact, participation in sports activities is a major cultural pastime in Bahrain and apart from the sports mentioned above, there are numerous facilities across Bahrain to participate in activities such as running, tennis, cricket, swimming, diving, sailing, kite-surfing and horse-riding.

Bahrain also has a rich history and is home to many museums, forts, historical sites and the traditional Souq in the heart of Manama. These are easily accessible and are open throughout the year. For motor sport enthusiasts, there is the Bahrain International Circuit, which host various motor-sport events throughout the year including the Bahrain Gulf Air Grand Prix. For those who enjoy shopping, or a stroll through a shopping mall on a hot afternoon, Bahrain has many ultra-modern shopping malls, which offer international retail brands, restaurants, supermarkets and other services.
