HCT Catalogue | 2017-20185As the Higher Colleges of Technology continues on its ground-breaking, transformative HCT 2.0 journey

the focus throughout the 2017-18 academic year will undoubtedly be a dedicated commitment to

providing our students with the highest quality, job-relevant, applied and technical education. This will

enable us to nurture and mould the next generation of work-ready graduates and allow us to maintain our

mission to be the UAE's, and the region's, top-ranked applied higher education institution. The HCT is grateful to have the committed and continuous support and pat ronage of our nation's leaders, and we greatly appreciate their guidance and leadership which have helped the HCT to become a model

of educational effectiveness and achievement; renowned for providing highly skilled and well-prepared

graduates. This catalogue reflects the directives and initiatives of our nation's leadership, such as being

aligned to the UAE Vision 2021, which seeks to expand and enrich the UAE's reputation as a knowledge society. This catalogue provides an extensive list of programmes, majors and courses offered by the HCT's

core academic Faculties, covering a broad range of industry-relevant fields of study, which will appeal

to many young Emiratis eager to pursue post-secondary studies. This publ ication also contains details of the newly created General Academic Requirements Division (GARD) encompassing the Foundations, General Studies, Emirati and Arabic Studies, and Academic Success programs which will greatly assist the new students as they pursue the next phase of their education.

This comprehensive guide is designed to assist every HCT student, and those considering HCT for their

post-secondary studies, to gain the maximum benefit from their time at our campuses, experiencing a complete, holistic and job-focused education. This information will enab le the students to reach their full potential and ultimately make worthwhile contributions to the UAE, as we ll as their respective workplaces and communities.

To all students undertaking studies at our campuses across the nation, I extend my best wishes throughout

the forthcoming year of learning and growth, knowledge acquisition, experiences and achievements.

HIGHER COLLEGES OF TECHNOLOGY

HCT Catalogue | 2017-20187I am pleased to introduce the Higher Colleges of Technology's catalogue for the 2017-2018 academic

year, which will be a comprehensive guide for new and current students and their families, as well as for

faculty and staff, our industry partners and the broader community.

This detailed document fully details the programmes and courses in each of the academic and supporting

Faculties offered this year by our 16 campuses across the UAE. It also provides our students with valuable

information and data about the HCT's operational structures, policies, rules and regulations, the HCT

learning model and the services and resources HCT provides throughout the campuses.

The diverse range of programmes offered in this catalogue reaffirms that the HCT is keeping pace with the

needs of the United Arab Emirates' economy, providing highly qualified and work-ready graduates. We

will continue with these endeavours to meet the requirements of UAE society, and particularly employers,

by offering the best quality, career-oriented academic, technical and training programmes. To achieve this we are ensuring that all HCT courses are linked to industry needs and standards, no

matter what the field, thus ensuring our students receive the appropriate experience in their field of

choice so that they can enter the UAE workforce as valuable contributors. This important goal is firmly

embedded in the five-year HCT 2.0 initiative, which strives to empower s tudents with the 21st century skills needed to succeed in today's globalized workplaces.

As part of these processes HCT is progressing with the accreditation of all core academic disciplines,

starting with CAA, ABET and ACBSP accreditation of Computer Information Science, Engineering

Technology and Business programmes respectively, and continuing with the remaining courses this year.

As an integral part of the HCT 2.0 Strategic Plan, we are well advanced with our plans to provide students

with a Hybrid Education Model, giving them the choice of academic or app lied streams of study. This model will allow us to provide our students with in-demand courses that will meet the needs of in dustry and employers. We are pleased to provide details of the many varied and exciting educational opportunities found in this

catalogue, to enable our students to fully plan and prepare for their future careers. I wish all HCT students

great success, discovery and enjoyment in their studies throughout the year, as they strive for excellence

in all that they undertake.

HCT Catalogue | 2017-201815In 1985, HE Sheikh Nahayan Mabarak Al Nahayan, Chancellor of the United Arab Emirates University, made a commitment to establish a new system of post-secondary education for UAE nationals that would stress the ideals of productivity, self- determination and excellence. His Excellency envisioned a system of the highest quality that would be used to educate Nationals for the professional and technical careers necessary in a rapidly developing society. In fulfillment of that vision, the Higher Colleges of Technology (HCT) was established in 1988 by Federal Law No 2 issued by the Late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, may his soul rest in peace. Today, the system of the HCT is the largest higher educational institution in the United Arab Emirates with the current enrolment exceeding 22,000 students. The sixteen HCT men's and women's campuses offer an impressive range of instructional programmes in the fields of Applied Media, Business, Computer Information Science, Engineering Technology and Science, Education, General Studies, Health Sciences and Military and Security with all HCT programmes being delivered in English, excepting courses in Arabic and Emirati Studies. Graduates of the HCT make immediate contributions to government, business and industrial sectors, and develop into leaders in their fields. The HCT is dedicated to student- oriented learning, which places the responsibility for education upon the students themselves and promotes lifelong learning
