University Forum

The Dammam Universities Forum in 2025 aimed to achieve several strategic objectives serving the higher education sector in both countries and the region. Foremost among these objectives was building bridges of academic cooperation between Bahraini and Saudi educational institutions and strengthening knowledge partnerships at the Gulf level. The forum also sought to highlight the standing of Bahraini universities and introduce them to Saudi society, emphasizing the depth of educational ties between Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. At the individual level, the main objective was to provide an interactive environment enabling students—especially high school graduates—and their parents to explore modern university options in both countries. Through direct meetings and guidance workshops, visitors were able to obtain comprehensive information about available majors, admission requirements, and scholarships, helping them make informed educational decisions that align with the aspirations of the regional labor market and the demands of future development. In this way, the forum met the needs of its target audience—young students seeking university education and their families—and fulfilled its educational and guidance mission, contributing to the optimal investment in students' academic and professional potential
