Graduation Portfolio
The American University of Bahrain recognizes the importance of curricular and non-curricular activities in developing graduate attributes. Hence, students are required to compile a portfolio of evidence showing their development throughout their educational journey. The portfolio is expected to include just a sample of activities that the student considers significant to his/her learning. The graduation portfolio aims to:
- Provide an insight into the student’s personality and areas of interest
- Showcase the student’s work and development over time
- Encourage students to engage in their wider academic and social context
- Encourage students to reflect on their own learning and development
- Promote AUBH graduates to employers
