Dubai Men's College
Dubai Men’s College (DMC), one of the first Higher Colleges of Technology (HCT), is a government-funded higher education institution located in Academic City, Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). HCT, the largest higher education institution in the UAE, was established in 1988.
DMC provides Bachelor and Associate degrees in the fields of applied communications, business and financial services, electrical and civil engineering technology, health sciences, and information technology. English is the medium of instruction. A foundation program has been designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills required to be successful in a challenging higher education environment. On completion of the foundation year students may select from more than 30 programs. These programs are geared to the needs of the public and private sector in both the region and the world at large. Industry advisory boards assist the College and the Higher Colleges system in setting relevant skill requirements, which in turn are benchmarked against international academic standards. From September 2009, HCT’s executive MBA program will be offered at the DMC campus.
The annual average enrollment is 2000 students and as of mid-2009, 5,372 students have graduated from the college. Many of these graduates now hold senior positions both in UAE government institutions and private industry and are making a substantial contribution to the growth of the UAE and regional economy.
In the 2008/09 academic year the college enrolled 384 foundation students, 424 diploma students, 833 higher diploma students, 274 bachelor students and employed 111 faculty. In total DMC has 200 staff members from 20 different countries.

Famous quotes containing the words men and/or college:
“President Lowell of Harvard appealed to students ‘to prepare themselves for such services as the Governor may call upon them to render.’ Dean Greenough organized an ‘emergency committee,’ and Coach Fisher was reported by the press as having declared, ‘To hell with football if men are needed.’”
—For the State of Massachusetts, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“The logical English train a scholar as they train an engineer. Oxford is Greek factory, as Wilton mills weave carpet, and Sheffield grinds steel. They know the use of a tutor, as they know the use of a horse; and they draw the greatest amount of benefit from both. The reading men are kept by hard walking, hard riding, and measured eating and drinking, at the top of their condition, and two days before the examination, do not work but lounge, ride, or run, to be fresh on the college doomsday.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
