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.
