The British Council in Bahrain

The British Council has been in Bahrain since 1948 and we have helped generations of Bahrainis, residents and people from across the Arabian Gulf to learn English, study in the UK, show their talents and improve their skills.

Over the past 70 years, we have been able to build an exceptionally strong reputation within the Kingdom, and constantly strive to ensure that our programmes and policies benefit as many people as possible.
