The  General Electives Programme provides opportunities for students to enrol in courses that belong to the following two categories:

• National Requirement Courses, as required by the Higher Education Council

• Elective Courses which are not part of any qualification bearing programme; i.e. not listed on a schedule of qualification specific courses

The programme is unique in that it does not provide for a qualification. It identifies a ‘home’ to create certainty as to Faculty ‘ownership’ and responsibilities for development, delivery, moderation & review and results approval. 

 

Enrolled in a programme of study at Bahrain Polytechnic requiring the completion of Elective and National Requirement courses.

 

• If an individual course has selection criteria and process then these will apply.

• If an individual course has no selection criteria, students studying full-time at Bahrain Polytechnic will be given first priority to the course they have selected. Degree Programmes students are prioritized over Foundation students who have completed degree entry requirements. Should more students apply than there are available places then students will then be selected on ‘first in, first served’ basis, with degree students given priority.
