Health and Wellness Centre

gym-genericThe Health and Wellness Centre is available to all students and staff to enhance their health and wellbeing. Regular exercise and activity is one of the most effective ways to increase your fitness, manage your weight, relieve stress and muscle tension, and enhance your sleep. Improving your fitness is helpful for your heart, lungs, bones, and joints.

It also lowers the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and some cancers. Regular exercise can also improve your mental health.

Disability Support

Bahrain Polytechnic supports students with disabilities and injuries in the following two categories:
Permanent: A disability that impairs the student’s physical and/or mental ability to perform his/her normal work and activities for the rest of his/her life.
Temporary: A disability that is the result of an injury, surgery, or short-term medical condition whereby the student may need access to support services and resources. For example, temporary disabilities may include broken limbs, hand injuries, rehabilitation following surgery, or medical treatments.
During orientation at the beginning of each academic year, students are informed of the support services available. A letter is sent out to those students that declare a medical condition or disability on enrolment.
Parking for students with physical disabilities is available. Discuss your needs with the Student Welfare Manager and the medical nurse. More information can be found on Moodle.
Students with learning difficulties/disabilities have access to a range of equipment and services to support their learning. If you need special software to help you complete your assignments, a separate room to take exams or specialized equipment to help you with your studies, see the staff in the Library Learning Centre in Building 19 for assistance.
