UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMMES AND ADMISSION PROCEDURES

1 Background The University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM) is the oldest and most popular

public university in Tanzania. It is situated on the western side of the city of

Dar es Salaam, occupying 1,625 acres on the Observation Hill, and 13

kilometres from the city centre. It was established on 1st July 1970, through

Parliament Act No. 12 of 1970. Recently, the Universities Act No. 7, of 2005

repealed Act No. 12 of 1970 and all the enabling legal instruments of the

constituent colleges. Prior to 1970, the University College, Dar es Salaam

had started in 1961 as an affiliate College of the University of London. It had

only one faculty – the Faculty of Law, with 14 students. In 1963 it became a

Constituent College of the University of East Africa together with Makerere

University College in Uganda and Nairobi University College in Kenya.

Since 1961, the University of Dar es Salaam has grown in terms of student

intake, academic units and academic programmes.

UDSM is an “Equal-Opportunity” institution of higher learning,

committed to a policy of student admission regardless of one’s

race, ethnicity, religion, gender or physical disability.

2

1.1 Student Intake The number of students enrolled at the University of Dar es Salaam has been

increasing steadily, from 14 in 1961 to 24,341 (16,063 male and 8278

female) undergraduate degree students in the 2016/2017 academic year.

Female students constitute 34% of all undergraduate students.

1.2 Academic Units The University of Dar es Salaam had eight campuses until June 2007 –

UDSM Main Campus, the then Muhimbili University College of Health

Sciences (MUCHS) (since 1st July 1991) located within the Muhimbili

National Hospital in Dar es Salaam, the then University College of Lands

and Architectural Studies (UCLAS) (since 1st July 1996) located adjacent to

the Main Campus, the then Faculty of Aquatic Sciences and Technology

(FAST) (since August 2002) located at Kunduchi in Dar es Salaam, Institute

of Marine Sciences (IMS) (since 17th October 1978) located in Zanzibar, the

then Institute of Journalism and Mass Communication (IJMC) (since 1st July

2003) located at Mikocheni in Dar es Salaam, the Dar es Salaam University

College of Education (DUCE) (since 22nd

July 2005) located at Chang’ombe

in Dar es Salaam and the Mkwawa University College of Education

(MUCE) (since 22nd

July 2005) located in Iringa. However, UDSM now has

six campuses after two of its constituent colleges – the Muhimbili University

College of Health Sciences (MUCHS) now the Muhimbili University of

Health and Allied Sciences (MUHAS) and the University College of Land

and Architectural Studies (UCLAS) now the Ardhi University (ARU)

became independent universities on 1st July 2007.
