MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT & CEO
In 2019 we embarked on a new phase in the life of the Higher Colleges of Technology, guided by the vision of the
UAE’s wise leadership, in which we reinforced the HCT’s success as the UAE’s largest applied higher education
institution over the past 30 years. It is also an important period, in which we redirected our pathway to further
success, in line with the national aspirations and visions, by empowering students to cope with challenges and
changes related to the future of work, arising from the 4th Industrial Revolution and the unprecedented growth
of Artificial Intelligence. To this end, we have launched HCT 4.0 - a new strategic plan which aims to empower

HCT students to become technical leaders in vital sectors, and encourage them to become entrepreneurs and
innovators, based on the principle of “Education for All”.
The HCT has transformed this ambitious plan into reality, being reflected in the strategic partnerships established
with about 22 international awarding bodies to award professional certificates to HCT students enrolled in the
84 majors offered under the six academic divisions. The professional certificates will enhance graduates’ work
readiness, who will become technical leaders equipped with future skills, while supporting HCT’s continuous
efforts to obtain international academic accreditation for all its programs.
Today, our academic programs focus on innovation and entrepreneurship, after the HCT became the first higher
education institution to be declared as a free economic and creative zone, in line with Article Six of the 50-Year
Charter, launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister
of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, which directs UAE universities to become free economic and creative zones that
graduate companies and entrepreneurs. Based on this new direction, His Highness Sheikh Abdullah Bin Zayed
Al Nahyan, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, inaugurated the first free economic and
creative zone in the HCT-Dubai Men’s campus. Additional free zones will be inaugurated in other HCT campuses,
with the aim of providing an integrated environment for the incubation of ideas; eventually leading to graduating
companies and entrepreneurs.
This quantum leap forward in education empowers HCT to nurture graduates who will become “specialized
technical leaders” and “entrepreneurs”, as well as creating graduate “national companies”. As part of this process,
the HCT will award its students with Diploma, Higher Diploma and Bachelor degrees to provide the industry with
technicians, technologists and professionals who represent a large segment of society that contributes to our
nation’s economic growth, in line with the various opportunities available in today’s labour market.
Dr Abdullatif Al Shamsi

Accreditation
The Higher Colleges of Technology has an ongoing commitment to achieving international

standards in the programs delivered and the levels of graduate skills. To ensure such standards
are met and its programs are at the cutting edge of technology and industry standards, the HCT
has formed key partnerships with leading universities, educational associations and professional
accreditation boards around the world.
The HCT has campuses located in the Emirates of Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah,
and Fujairah and has been licensed by the Commission for Academic Accreditation (CAA) of the
Ministry of Education, United Arab Emirates to award degrees/qualifications in higher education.
In addition, a number of HCT programs are accredited by reputable international organizations

such as ABET-ETAC, ACBSP, recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation
(CHEA) USA. A further number are accredited by internationally-recognized organizations from
Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
Please note that the previously-offered programs are being phased out and replaced by the
new range of programs. The new programs have been submitted to the UAE’s Commission

for Academic Accreditation (CAA) for national accreditation. Most of these programs have
been granted accreditation from the CAA, with a few remaining programs at the final stages
of the approval process. Moreover, several new programs have already received international
accreditation from globally renowned bodies including ABET-ETAC (Engineering Technology
& Science), ACBSP (Business), CIPS (Computer Information Science) and HIMAA (Health
Information Management Association of Australia.
