HCT - Dubai Women's College

About Us

The Higher Colleges of Technology (HCT)-Dubai Women’s Campus (DBW) was founded in 1989, when it began with only 145 students taking classes in a converted Dubai car showroom.

The first batch of enterprising young ladies led the way for women in the UAE, not only by getting an education, but by making pioneering steps to join the predominantly male workforce after graduating.

Today, 28 years later, DBW has a state-of-the-art campus spread over 350,000m2 of cultivated land, with 2600 students enrolled, and offers Bachelor’s degrees in six academic programmes – Applied Communications, Business, Computer Information Science, Education, Engineering Technology & Science and Health Sciences.
