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 at the Observation Hill, and 13 kilometers from
the City Centre. It was established on 1st July, 1970, through the Act No. 12 of
the Parliament 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 Recently, the Universities Act No. 7, of 2005 repealed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
programmes.
The University of Dar es Salaam 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.
