Dear students,

I would like to welcome you to the Emirates College of Technology (ECT). Starting from 1993 until April 2004 ECT has been operating under the name of Emirates Institute of Technology (EIT) – accredited by the UAE Ministry of Education. However, in November 2003 the college obtained recognition of the UAE Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, to operate in the field of Higher Education. In June 2004, ECT obtained initial accreditation for its Two-Year Diploma program in Business Administration and Computer Information Systems (Double Major) from the Ministry. 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" In addition to its existing programs, ECT intends to introduce, in the near future, more programs in various disciplines of study.

Through its double and single major programs in the UAE, ECT has combined information technology with various specialized fields of study in response to today’s local and global market place demands for hybrid individuals who understand the concerned specialized discipline and strategically utilize information technology to have a competitive edge. The programs offered in the UAE makes it quite easier and cost effective for many individuals who cannot afford studying abroad and wish to gain locally and internationally recognized degrees or Diplomas, or wish to study abroad at a certain stage.

Finally, I hope that you will benefit from joining ECT, and you will find it a challenging experience. I wish you every success.

President
Mohamed Al Mazroui
