5.6.6 Women’s Monitoring Scheme
The University of Bahrain promotes gender equity through structured mentoring schemes designed to guide and support students, particularly female students, throughout their academic and career journeys. These mentoring mechanisms help create an inclusive environment that empowers women and ensures equitable access to both academic progression and career development opportunities.
- Academic Advising is a key component, whereby faculty members are assigned as academic advisors to provide individual guidance following the UOB Academic Advising Regulation . This system is integrated within the Student Information System (SIS), enabling advisors to access real-time data on enrolment, performance, attendance, and academic progress, as well as communicate directly with their advisees. Available data shows that more than 50% of participants are females.
- Career Counselling supports students and new graduates in transitioning into the labour market. Through various programs, such as the CV Submission Service, Nomination Service, On-Campus Recruitment Program, and the Annual Career Fair, students receive tailored support that enhances their employability and expands access to job opportunities. Together, these mentoring mechanisms contribute to fostering an inclusive environment that empowers female students and promotes equal access to academic and career advancement.
