The Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) - Medical University of Bahrain announces a major campus enhancement programme, reaffirming its longterm commitment to the Kingdom of Bahrain, its students, and the continued advancement of higher education in the Kingdom.

Alongside continued progress on the construction of its New Academic Building, campus operations will progressively reduce over the coming weeks to facilitate a significant summer refurbishment programme of the existing main building. This carefully planned approach ensures students returning for the 2026/27 academic year will benefit from upgraded facilities, modernised learning spaces, and an enhanced campus and student experience.

This programme reflects the University’s continued investment in world-class facilities that support student success, academic excellence, and Bahrain’s future healthcare workforce.

Professor Sameer Otoom, President of RCSI Medical University of Bahrain, stated:

“This important campus enhancement programme reflects our enduring commitment to Bahrain and to delivering a student experience on par with global standards. By progressing these works during the summer period, we ensure that students and staff return to a significantly enhanced campus environment for the next academic year.”

The President extends his sincere appreciation to the Ministry of Education and the Higher Education Council (HEC) for their continued support, guidance, and partnership. Academic continuity across teaching, examinations, and student services continues in line with approved arrangements for the remainder of the semester.

The campus enhancement pro - gramme includes improvements to academic facilities, services, study environments, and the wider campus infrastructure. In parallel, the New Academic Building marks the important next chapter in the University’s growth, further expanding capacity for teaching, research, and innovation which is expected to be completed this year.

For more than two decades, RCSI Medical University of Bahrain has proudly contributed to the development of the higher education and healthcare sectors in Bahrain. The University remains committed to training the next generation of healthcare professionals while further strengthening Bahrain’s position as a regional centre of excellence in education and research.
