INTRODUCTION TO THE UNIVERSITY OF DAR ES SALAAM
The University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM) was born out of a decision taken on 25th
March, 1970 by the East African Authority, to split the then University of East Africa
into three independent universities for Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania.
The University of Dar es Salaam is situated on the west side of the City of Dar es
Salaam, Tanzania. It occupies 1,625 acres on the Observation Hill, 13 k.m. from the
centre of the city of Dar es Salaam.
The University has five campuses – UDSM Main Campus, the Institute of Marine
Sciences located in Zanzibar, the School of Journalism and Mass Communication (SJMC)
located at Mikocheni, Dar es Salaam, Dar es Salaam University College of Education
(DUCE) located at Chang’ombe, Dar es Salaam and Mkwawa University College of
Education (MUCE) located in Iringa. Every year, candidates are admitted into the
University of Dar es Salaam to pursue various degree programmes/courses tenable at
the said campuses.
The University has continued to grow and expand in terms of diversified academic
programmes and student numbers. The number of students admitted at the University
of Dar es Salaam has been increasing steadily, from 14 in 1961 to 2718 postgraduate
and undergraduate degree and non-degree students in the 2008/2009 academic year.
With regard to undergraduate programmes, the University offers various academic
programmes leading to the award of certificates, diplomas, advanced diplomas and
first degrees. A total of four certificates, 10 diplomas, three advanced diplomas and 76
degree programmes are offered at the various academic units of the University. The
specific programmes offered are detailed under the respective academic unit in the
prospectus.
Likewise the University offers a wide range of postgraduate programmes at
Postgraduate Diploma, Master’s and Ph.D. levels. Currently there are 82 postgraduate
academic programmes offered by the University. These range from basic sciences,
applied natural and social sciences leading to professional degrees in engineering,
medicine, law, architecture and the arts. A detailed information on these programmes is
available in the prospectus under the respective academic units as well as in the booklet
on the University of Dar es Salaam General Regulations and Guidelines for
Postgraduate Study Programmes.
For purposes of maintaining East African inter-university academic cooperation and
communication, an Inter-University Council for East Africa was set up in 1970. The
2 University of Dar es Salaam
Council established an Inter-University Exchange programme, through which the
University admits students from other East African countries mainly Kenya and Uganda.
The University also admits students from several other countries the world-over through
established links, exchange programmes or individual applications. Most of these
students receive their bursaries from their respective governments. Students from other
countries are considered for admission to other undergraduate and postgraduate studies
subject to the availability of vacancies.
Directorate of Post Graduate Studies (DPGS)
The Directorate of Post Graduate Studies (DPGS) formally replaced the School of
Graduate Studies (SGS) in 2009. The former School was established in 2006, with the
main functions being administering and coordinating postgraduate studies at the University
of the Dar es Salaam (UDSM). In the past fifteen years the postgraduate students’
population increased from about 100 in 1993/1994 to about 2,607 in 2006/07. During
the same period, postgraduate programmes increased from 48 to over 74.
In view of the rapid expansion of postgraduate programmes, coupled with the
University restructuring programme, the UDSM Council at its 69th meeting approved
the re-establishment of the Directorate of Post Graduate Studies (DPGS) and
subsequently de-established SGS. The DPGS has taken over all the functions of the
SGS but with more responsibilities including providing the requisite environment for
postgraduate studies and activities.

COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SOCIAL SCIENCES
The College of Arts and Social Sciences has facilities in all departments and teaching
units to enable students to undertake advanced work and research under supervision
for the M.A. and Ph.D. degrees and for the Postgraduate Diploma of the University of
Dar es Salaam.
Purpose and Scope
The College has an organized uniform structure for postgraduate courses in Archaeology,
Economics, Geography, Information Studies, Political Science and Public Administration,
Sociology and Anthropology, Statistics, Literature, History, Languages and Linguistics
and Fine and Performing Arts with particular emphasis for in-service government and
parastatal personnel, and for the University’s own staff development.
The postgraduate studies programmes incorporate all postgraduate teaching being
offered by the College’s departments under a common administrative structure.
Jurisdiction over the degrees to be awarded by thesis alone remains the responsibility
of individual academic units.
Aims and Objectives
The aims and objectives of the postgraduate studies programmes are:
i) To extend the existing generalized undergraduate studies by offering specialized
teaching and instruction at an advanced level to meet Tanzania’s immediate
professional needs.
ii) To create awareness of the problems of African development and a personal
commitment to social reconstruction in Tanzania.
iii) To encourage an interdisciplinary approach and joint research among all the
University’s social sciences departments.
iv) To generate teaching and research materials with direct relevance to contemporary
policy issues in Tanzania.

selected in accordance with a student’s intended specialization. Course units for the
year are allocated as follows:

POSTGRADUATE DIPLOMA IN ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND
ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT (PGDEED) PROGRAM
Introduction
Training, counseling and consultancy products that develop entrepreneurship are a key
requirement in the Business Development Services (BDS) industry but the capacity for
delivery in many African countries is extremely limited.
Postgraduate Prospectus for the Year 2010/2011 89
Objective
The objective of the PGDEED programme is to enhance the capacity of business
development services (BDS) practitioners to provide high standards of effective support
for enterprise development. BDS practitioners are ideally multi-skilled in the fields of:
facilitating learning groups, counseling individuals and consulting on specific problems.
Target group
The target clients are potential and existing practitioners engaged in the management
and delivery of business training, consultancy and counseling to SMEs. These include
employees in public and private sector organisations as well as individual practitioners
in Africa.
Structure and Mode of Delivery
The programme has 12 courses of 36 hours each and runs on modular basis having 4
modules of 3 weeks each and a project. In between the modules, students undertake
practical assignments.
Specific practitioner knowledge areas are: learning processes and methods, training
methods, entrepreneurship behaviour and decision processes, the business counseling
process, business problem analysis and basic relevant management skills, such as
accounting, finance, marketing, human resources management in the context of small
firms.
Given that small business owner-managers do not specialize by function, learners
must develop integrated knowledge of business, rather than specialized knowledge of
functional areas.
In order to develop the targeted competencies, the following courses are offered:
Module I
ENT 501 Theories of Entrepreneurship
ENT 500 The Environment for Business Development in Tanzania
ENT 502 Project Formulation (with a project)

case study material drawn from a variety of application areas. Practical work is
undertaken using a variety of commercial software including, BILKO, ArcGIS and
ERDAS Imagine. For the award of M.Sc. the student must undertake an independent
research project, submitted as a written dissertation. The Marine and Coastal Resources
Management specialization will give emphasis to marine resources management as well
as environmental and socio-economic issue. The programme can be seen as a
150 University of Dar es Salaam
convergent programme in the sense that it may link and collaborate with other relevant
programmes and basic research and thus giving an opening for multi-disciplinary research.
It is hoped that this programme, in collaboration with others, will contribute much in the
offshore stock assessment that is poorly known in Tanzania. The students will also be
trained to address scientific and socio-economic issues related to coastal and marine
resources through an interdisciplinary education in marine science, policy, law, quantitative
analysis, databases and modeling.
Programme Structure
All students undertaking Master of Science degree in Marine Sciences by coursework
and dissertation will be obliged to take four compulsory courses, after which they may
specialize in either Marine and Coastal Resources Management or Marine and Coastal
Geo-informatics.

ADDENDUM
INSTITUTE OF DEVELOPMENT STUDIES
Changes in Master’s Programme
The Institute now offers three degree programmes instead of the one described on
pages 108-110 of this prospectus. The MA by thesis and Doctor of Philosophy described
on page 110 still apply.
Those three new programmes are:
� MA in Development Studies;
� MA in Development Management; and
� MA in Gender Studies.
Duration of the Programmes
The duration of each of the programmes is 15 months.
Entry Qualifications
For admission into M.A. (DS), MA (Dev. Mgnt.) and MA (Gender Studies) programme
an aspirant is required to hold:
i. Honours degree or equivalent from an accredited higher education institution.
ii. For candidates who hold unclassified degree, they must have at least an overall B
grade.
iii. The General Entry qualifications for Master’s studies of the University of Dar es
Salaam will apply.
Examination Regulations
In order to graduate a student must do a minimum of twelve courses of a total of 30
units and a Dissertation worth 10 units. Altogether the student must therefore obtain a
minimum of 40 units. Course assessment will include continuous assessment (CA) marks
and university examinations (UE): Total CA will be 50% consisting analytical essays
and UE 50%. The existing system of external examination will be continued both for
Coursework and Dissertations. To encourage originality students will defend their thesis.
The General University Examinations Regulations as they appear in the Prospectus and
Guidelines Handbook (2006) will hold.
