The Emirates College of
Technology (ECT) was first
established as the Emirates
Institute of Technology (EIT) in
early 1993. In 1993 EIT was
recognized by the Ministry of
Education to provide training in
computing, management, language
and university services in the
UAE. In 1995 the EIT, in
association with a number of
international institutions began
to offer academic programs that
led to a double major diploma in
business administration and
computer information systems.
This guaranteed the quality of
the program offered to be at
international standards.
In January 2001, the EIT was
divided into two divisions: the
short courses division and
academic division. The short
courses division is located in
the old premises of EIT, while
the diploma division is located
in the old ZADCO office building
in Khalidya-within a walking
distance from the short courses
division.
In November 2003, the academic
section of EIT was recognized by
the UAE Ministry of Higher
Education and Scientific
Research to operate in the field
of higher education. In April
2004, the academic section of
EIT was renamed as Emirates
College of Technology (ECT). In
June 2004, ECT obtained the
initial accreditation for its
Two-Year diploma program in
Business Administration and
Computer Information Systems
(Double Major) from the
Ministry.
In September 2005, ECT rented a
new campus in Hamdan Street that
has been especially designated
for female students, while the
old Campus has been assigned for
male students only. However, in
July 2008 ECT had to evacuate
the males campus and to rent a
new campus for female students
in Defense street while male
students have been assigned the
Hamdan street campus ever since.
In August 2007, ECT obtained the
initial accreditation for its
second program, i.e, "Two-Year
Diploma in Human Resource
Management" from the Ministry.
In April 2008, ECT acquired the
initial accreditation for its
third program, i.e., "Two-Year
Diploma in e-Commerce and
Marketing (Double Major)" from
the Ministry. In May 2008, ECT
obtained the initial
accreditation for two more
programs, i.e., Two-Year Diploma
in Accounting and Two-Year
Diploma in Banking and Finance
from the Ministry. In July 2008,
ECT obtained the initial
accreditation for its sixth
program, i.e., Two-Year Diploma
in "Computer Graphic Design and
Animation" from the Ministry.
