The mission of the Computer Information Science Division is to provide future-focused, student-
centred programmes that prepare students for the dynamic Information Systems and Information
Technology sectors of the UAE. CIS programme graduates are “T-shaped professionals” with
industry-ready technical and professional skills. CIS programmes provide local and global
perspectives, develop analytical skills, encourage lifelong learning and promote effective
and ethical management and leadership practices. As a result, HCT CIS graduates are in high
demand from leading industry employers looking for talented people who have the technical,
communication and team-working skills needed to enhance their organisations.
All CIS programmes are continuously monitored and reviewed to ensure that the skills students
acquire and the resources they use are at the cutting edge of technology and are industry-
appropriate. Programmes are designed to maintain the current CIPS accreditation, and additionally
to attain accreditation with ABET. CIS graduates have excellent career prospects across all
sectors (private, public, governmental) within the continually growing industries of computing,
networking, security and forensics, information management, multimedia technology, interactive
learning, software development and applications development.
