Founded 2002 (chartered as Gulf University by Royal Decree — not to be confused with the older Arabian Gulf University (AGU, 1980, GCC-regional) also based in Manama). Private university in Sanad, Central Governorate, founded 2002 by Royal Decree. Colleges: Engineering, Business Administration, Computing and Information Sciences, Law, and the Graduate Studies. English-medium instruction. DISAMBIGUATION CRITICAL: Gulf University Bahrain (this entry, private 2002, Sanad) is NOT the same as the older ARABIAN GULF UNIVERSITY (AGU, founded 1980 by GCC governments collectively, GCC-regional public institution based in Manama with focus on medical/scientific research). AGU is not in this batch — may be in future Bahrain expansion.
