VICE CHANCELLOR’S WELCOMING NOTE
We are delighted that you have decided to undertake your undergraduate studies at the University of Dar es
Salaam or are considering to do so. This Prospectus describes the range of our courses and will give you a
flavour of life in our various campuses.
The University of Dar es Salaam is a unique community of students and staff dedicated to
bringing out the best in all its members. Our aim is to provide the best possible environment for teaching,
learning and research, and our track record of success is well known in East Africa, Africa and the rest of
the world. We will continue to ensure that your years at this University will be filled with excitement and
experiences that you can treasure for a lifetime. We also recognize that the quality of student experiences
derives from more than academic study. That is why the University encourages students to join and actively
participate in activities of the Students’ Union and use the various sports and recreational facilities available,
e.g. swimming pool, cricket, athletics and soccer fields. The University of Dar es Salaam is also at the
interface of national and international higher education innovations and initiatives.
The University has taken all reasonable steps to make sure that the information in this
Prospectus about course content, structure, teaching facilities and staffing are accurate and up-to-date.
Students are however warned that the demand for certain courses and the availability of staff and resources
means that the University cannot guarantee that all courses featured in this Prospectus will necessarily be
offered. Some courses may have to be withdrawn, or combined with others, or their content changed as
resources dictate or permit.
Students and/or prospective students must therefore understand the needs or pressures
for change and must also understand when the University expressly states that it shall not be held liable for
any claim for damages (including economic damage) or costs (including legal costs) to any student who
complains or takes legal action because the course s/he expected or wished to pursue has become unavailable
or changed in content.
Having made this disclaimer, I hope you will find this Prospectus helpful and interesting.
Should you do not find what you are looking for, please let us know and we will try to help.
We warmly welcome you, if you are already here, and look forward to hearing from you if you have not yet
decided.
Prof. Rwekaza S. Mukandala
Vice-Chancellor

A: STUDENT ADMINISTRATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Department of Student Administration, headed by the Dean of Students, deals primarily with the personal
and social welfare aspects of the student’s life. The following facilities are provided by the office of Dean of
Students: residence, games and sport, worship, student counselling in various problems and career guidance. The
Dean of Students also assists the Deputy VC - (Administration) in student disciplinary matters.
The Dar es Salaam University College of Education (DUCE) and Mkwawa University College of Education
(MUCE) have their own departments of Student Administration each headed by a respective Dean of Students
Residence
A limited number of rooms in the halls of residence are available on application before the beginning of the
academic year. Accommodation in the Halls is therefore not guaranteed for every student. Students are urged
to find their own accommodation outside the Halls. At present there are eight Halls of Residence: seven on the
main campus and one each on the Dar es Salaam University College of Education and Mkwawa University
College of Education campuses. There also residential places for Mlimani Main Campus and DUCE students
at Kijitonyama and Ubungo Hostels whreas the Mabibo Hostel is used by students from the Mlimani Main
Campus, DUCE and some other public universities and institutions of higher learning.
Payment of rent is made to the University Students Accommodation Bureau (USAB) offices located near
Hall V premises and through the NBC Ltd. on campus. No student will be given a room in the Halls of
Residence until s/he has paid the prescribed rent. Priority for on - campus accommodation will be given to
students with disabilities, foreign students, and female students from up country.
Student Activities
Most of the student activities are organized by DARUSO, the student union. The student organization is
concerned with the students’ academic, political, social and recreational activities. Students are encouraged to
form academic/professional organizations.
They are also encouraged to form and join social organizations that have been registered. New social and
academic organizations are registered with the Dean of Students office. Some outstanding student organizations
at present include Dar es Salaam University Economic Association, Dar es Salaam University Marketing
Association, Accounting Association of the University of Dar es Salaam, Geological Association of Students,
University of Dar es Salaam Law Society, Dar es Salaam University Finance Association, International Relations
Association,University of Dar es Salaam Education Students Association, International Students Association,
Uganda Students Association in Tanzania, Dar es Salaam University Political Science Students Association
(DUPSA), etc.
Games and Sports
The University main campus has some of the best sporting facilities in the country including an international
size track field, a swimming pool, tennis courts, soccer pitches, netball and basketball courts, hockey and
cricket fields. However, most of these facilities require intensive rehabilitation. A gymnasium where badminton,
squash and weight lifting can be held is in place. Students can therefore participate in athletics, swimming,
lawn tennis, table tennis, soccer (football), basketball, netball, hockey, badminton, cricket, handball and boxing.
University students, through their Student Sports Council, Tanzania University Sports Association (TUSA),
can take part in sports and game competitions organized by various sports bodies, such as the East, Central
and Southern Africa Universities Sports Association (ECSAUSA), the Federation of African University Sports
(FASU) and the Federation of International University Sports (FISU).

2009/10 UDSM Prospectus
Catering
The University offers cafeteria services for all meals to students at subsidised rates. The meals are paid for at
the cafeteria counters. There are two cafeterias on the main campus which have the capacity to serve the
present student population.
B: MEDICAL SERVICES
The University of Dar es Salaam owns and operates a Health Centre which provides medical and health care
services mainly to University students, University staff members, staff families and to the general public. The
Centre is located within the University’s maincampus. There is, however, a clinic at the Mabibo students’
hostels and a dispensing room at the Faculty of Aquatic Sciences and Technology - Kunduchi. The main
campus clinic is on the right hand side as one walks along Sinza Road from the University Post Office. It is the
nearest building to the swimming pool and play grounds especially handball and lawn tennis courts.
Organization
The Centre is headed by a Medical Officer In-Charge who is assisted by a health administrator, matron and
heads of preventive, clinical and finance and administration sections.
Service Provision
The Centre operates on a twenty-four hour basis. Outpatient services are offered from 8.00 a.m to 8.00 p.m
on weekdays and Saturdays. Outside these hours, and on Sunday and Public Holidays, only emergency cases
are handled.
There are two ward wings, for male and female patients, with a 24 bed capacity. Both medical and preventive
health services are offered at the University’s costs to undergraduate government sponsored students, while
all private students are required to pay a medical capitation fee.
Procedure
All fresh students are required to produce proof of their physical and mental fitness to undergo University
studies. Students who report at the Center for treatment are required to produce identity cards. All cases
which can not be managed at the Center, are normally referred to Mwananyamala Municipal Hospital or
Muhimbili National Hospital.
Treatment outside the Health Center must have prior permission of the Medical Officer In-Charge of
the University Health Center otherwise the University will not be responsible in any way. Where a student
falls sick/ill in the Hall of Residence/Hostel and is not able to walk to the Health Center/Clinic, the right
thing to do is to contact a Hall Manager/Warden for further action.
Students who fall sick shortly before, or during examinations, are advised to immediately report to relevant
authorities in their respective departments and then to the Health Center for treatment and further directives.
Apart from the general outpatient clinic, there is also a student’s clinic. The clinic, in addition to the
provision of clinical services, it also informs, educates, communicates and counsels students on reproductive
health. This also includes provision of family planning services and treatment of sexually transmitted infections
(STIs). The clinic also offers specialized back-up services to the University Youth Reproductive Health
Programme. The Health Center also offers eye and optical services.
Malaria is an endemic disease in Dar es Salaam. This University is not an exception. Malaria is, however,
preventable and the following are some of the preventive measures: to cover exposed skin especially in the evening,
sleeping under a mosquito net (preferably a treated one) and early and complete treatment can make you safe
from malaria.

University of Dar es Salaam Prospectus- General Information
xi
HIV/AIDS is a threat to the lives and welfare of Tanzanians. However, practising safe sex can prevent HIV
transmission.
Other conditions commonly noted among students are worm infestations, upper respiratory tract infections,
skin diseases and diarrhoea diseases.
Personal hygiene and environment sanitation are among the key preventive strategies. Also for a health
body and mind, a balanced diet and physical exercises are recommended. Further information on health
matters can be obtained from the University Health Education Programme Offices which are situated opposite
the Microbiology Department and next to the Demography Training Unit. It goes without saying that ill
health can impair ones academic performance. It takes a health body and mind to excel in academics and
achieve academic excellence.
It is very important to note that services are provided to students during term time only. Treatment
during vacations is the student’s own responsibility. The University is not responsible for refund of any
medical costs incurred outside the Health Center. Refund is made only when the Medical Officer In-Charge
has authorized treatment in other hospitals.
C: THE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY
The University of Dar es Salaam Library is an academic unit which is an integral part of the University in
pursuit of its mission, that is: teaching, research and consultancy. The primary role of the Library is to
provide information services to support teaching, learning and research functions of the academic and
research community. The Library has three departments namely: Reader Services, Technical Services and
Research and Special Collection. Each department is headed by an academic member of staff who is
answerable to the Director of the Library. The Senior staff of the Library are involved in teaching, research
and provision of consultancy services.
The University Library is a national depository library and collects materials published in Tanzania and
on Tanzania which are housed in the East Africana Section. These include books, journals, research reports,
government and university publications. It also includes materials on the former East African Community,
the Liberation movement and SADC publications.
The Collections
The library has seven major sections: Arts and Social Sciences, Law, Science and Engineering, Reference,
East Africana and ICT. These collections consist of books, journal and other materials in their respective
subject areas, both in print and electronic. They are self-sustaining service units which provide specialized
services to users undertaking research and courses in various subject areas. In addition, the Library has
Information Studies Programme, which is a training wing that conducts Masters and Ph D programmes in
Library and Information Studies.
The library maintains a collection of about 600,000 volumes and 2,800 periodical titles of which 146
are current printed journals. It has a rich collection of manuscripts including the Cory papers, Arabic and
Swahili manuscripts, micro-materials, maps and CD-ROMs. The Library also has access to 18 full-text
electronic journal databases. It is also a member of the Database of African Theses and Dissertation
network (DATAD).
Information Services
The Library provides both print and electronic information services to its users. The services provided
include: Lending Services, Document Delivery, E-mail and Internet, Selective Dissemination of Information
(SDI), Current Awareness Services, photocopying and photographic services. Being a national depository
library and the largest collection of research materials, its services are also extended to researchers and
scholars both within and outside the country.
