The city campus of AU provides students with countless opportunities for work and recreation — from sitting in a coffee shop with a laptop to internships at large companies. Manama has a well developed entertainment infrastructure, but the rhythm of the big city can be distracting for some students. During the period of study, students can use the university library, where they can do homework and write scientific papers. Student life at AU is filled with intercultural activities, as not only local students study here, but also students from abroad. The exchange of knowledge and experience, networking and new acquaintances — all this is an integral part of studenthood.
