The Higher Colleges of Technology’s (HCT) corporate website has been ranked the top interactive platform among UAE-based colleges by the international 'uniRank' (university ranking) service in its 2018 Emirati University Ranking.

The HCT website was ranked as the best of UAE’s tertiary institutions based on a series of web-based algorithms, such as its popularity, amount of web traffic, trust and the quality of the link.

'uniRank' (University Ranking) provides an approximate popularity ranking of world universities and colleges, based upon the popularity of their websites in terms of traffic, trust and quality link popularity.

Dr Abdullatif Al Shamsi, HCT vice chancellor, said: “It is rewarding for HCT to be endorsed in this manner by an independent organization, and with findings purely based on objective web-based algorithms.”

“As a technology-based institution, it is vital for the Higher Colleges of Technology to provide online and web-based services which are user-friendly and provide relevant, easily accessible and important information for all its stakeholders – from students and their families, to employers, corporate and government partners, potential employees and UAE society in general.

“An up-to-date website is part of HCT’s ongoing strategy to embed technology in all our activities, including classrooms and laboratories, innovation zones and learning centres. We will build on this success to ensure the HCT website continues to evolve and provide high-quality services to its visitors and users,” Dr Al Shamsi added. – TradeArabia News Service
