GENERAL INFORMATION

A: STUDENT ADMINISTRATION
The Department of Student Administration, headed by the Dean of Students, deals
primarily with the personal and social welfare aspects of the students life. The following
facilities are provided by the office of Dean of Students: residence, games and sport,
worship, student counseling in various problems and career guidance. The Dean of
Students also assists the Deputy Vice Chancelor-Planning, Finance and Administration in
student disciplinary matters.

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 six Halls of Residence on the main campus. There
also residential places for students at Ubungo and Mabibo Hostels.

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

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.

viii

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).

Religious Activities
Students and staff have complete freedom of worship. At present facilities are available

A Joint Christian Chapel is situated opposite Hall No. 4 on Kilimahewa Road. It is
administered by the Joint Chapel Committee composed of representatives of the TEC and
CCT Councils. The University Christian Perspective which is the Christian voice on the
campus is produced once a semester. This publication was initially a TEC initiative, but
articles are now contributed by members of all Christian denominations. Religious
articles and books are on sale every Sunday outside the Chapel before and after Mass.
Articles sold include papers like Kiongozi, and Mwenge, rosaries, medals and religious
books. Other books dealing with social and psychological problems that students face in
their everyday lives everywhere are among items that are also sold.

There are Catechism classes for children of the University staff and workers twice a
week in the Chapel. Baptisms are held on request every Sunday morning after the
second Mass. Marriages are also arranged by Chaplains and celebrated either in the
chapel or in one of the churches in town. The Chaplains are available for counselling in
the Chaplains Office, No. 15 in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, or at the
Chaplaincy, Kilimahewa House No. 4 for Catholics and Kilimahewa House No. 6 for non-

However, those who wish to see the Chaplain can request the nurse to contact him.

ix

The Muslims Students Association of the University of Dar es Salaam (MSAUD) caters
for the interests of the Muslim students community on all campuses of the University.
They also have a Mosque and regular prayers which are held five times every day. Friday
and Idd prayers are also performed at the Mosque. Other than daily prayers, the Muslim
Students Association jointly performs other activities such as coordinating fasting
during the Holy Month of Ramadhan. The Association also undertakes the publication of
Voice of MSAUD, organizes public functions such as Idd Baraza (get together for
welcoming freshers), public lectures on Islamic ideology, study groups on Islamic
knowledge, and national seminars during vacations for Muslim students and teachers.

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 three cafeterias and the number of
canteens 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
Universitys main campus. There is also a clinic at the Mabibo students hostels. 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 plays 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 Health Centre. In order to access medical services
at the health centre, students are strongly advised to obtain health insurance cover
offered by the National Health Insruance Fund (NHIF) or other health insurance
providers. The Office of the Dean of students may be contacted on the logistics regarding
health insurance services.

Procedure
All fresh students are required to produce proof of their physical and mental fitness to
undergo University studies. Students who report at the Centre for treatment are
required to produce identity cards. All cases which can not be managed at the Centre are
normally referred to Mwananyamala Municipal Hospital or Muhimbili National Hospital.

x

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 students 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.

Things to Note
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. HIV/AIDS is a threat to the lives and welfare of Tanzanians. However, practising
safe sex may 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 students 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: DR. WILBERT CHAGULA UNIVERSITY LIBRARY
The University of Dar es Salaam Main Library has three divisions: Technical Services;
Reader Services and Research and Documentation. Each division is headed by an
associate director.

The primary role of the Library is to support teaching, learning and research through
provision of quality library services to users both within and outside the country. In
addition, senior library staff are involved in teaching, research and 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 Collection and
include books, research reports, Government and University publications. Concerted
efforts have been made to collect materials on Tanzania published outside Tanzania,
which form the core of the East Africana research collection. It also includes materials on
the former East African Community, the Liberation Movement and the Southern African
Development and Coordinating Committee (SADCC) and SADC.

Being a national depository library and the largest national collection of research
materials, services are also extended to researchers and scholars both within and
outside the country. The broad subject areas covered are Arts and Social Sciences,
Commerce and Management, Engineering, Law, and the Physical, Biological and Marine
Sciences. The collection currently comprises about 600,000 volumes of books and 2,800
periodicals titles.

The Library has a rich collection of manuscripts, including the Cory papers, Arabic and
Swahili manuscripts and Newspapers which are available in microfiche format, micro
materials, maps, and CD-ROM (Compact disc Read Only Memory) database which can be
accessed to retrieve up-to-date information published in a wide range of disciplines such
as Engineering, Education, Science, etc. The Library subscribes to a variety of electronic
journals and bibliographic databases and has developed local content databases. These
include the Environmental and the Biodiversity Databases, Regional and Civil Society
Databases, Economics, Education and Sociology, etc.

Materials that are not available in the Library can be obtained from other libraries
through inter-library loan arrangements or electronic document delivery services. The
Library is a member of the Database of African Theses and Dissertation network

INTRODUCTION TO THE UNIVERSITY OF DAR ES SALAAM

The University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM) was born out of a decision taken on 25
th
March,
1970 by the East African Authority, to split the then University of East Africa into three
independent universities for Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. For purposes of maintaining
East African inter-university academic cooperation and communication, an Inter-
University Council for East Africa (IUCEA) was set up in 1970. The Council established
an Inter-University Exchange programme, through which the University admits students
from other East African countries mainly Kenya and Uganda. Recently, IUCEA has its
membership to include other universities within East African Community (EAC).

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 six campuses UDSM Mwalimu J.K. Nyerere Main Campus, the
Institute of Marine Sciences (IMS) located in Zanzibar, the School of Journalism and Mass
Communication (SJMC) located in Mikocheni, Dar es Salaam, the College of Information
and Communication Technology (COICT) in Kijitonyama, Dar es Salaam opposite the
Commission of Science and Technologies (COSTECH), The Dar es Salaam University
College of Education (DUCE) located at Changombe, Dar es Salaam, and the 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. There were 14 only students in 1961.
Presently, university has a student population about 23,000 pursuing undergraduate
and postgraduate degrees and non-degree programmes.

With regard to academic programmes, the University offers various programmes leading
to the award of certificates, diplomas, first degrees, postgraduate diplomas, masters and
Ph.D. degrees. A total of 4 certificates, 2 diplomas, 65 first degrees, 17 postgraduate
diplomas and 78 master degrees, and 4 Taught Ph.d. programmes as well as several Ph.d.
programmes by thesis which are offered by the various academic units of the University
of Dar es Salaam.

The University admits local students as well as foreign students from several countries
worldwide through established links, exchange programmes or individual applications.
Most of these students receive their bursaries from their respective governments. Also
students from other countries are considered for admission to undergraduate and
postgraduate studies on self-sponsored basis.

2. MASTER OF SCIENCE WITH EDUCATION (M.Sc. Ed.)

Programme description
The M.Sc. (Ed.) programme is intended for graduate science teachers who want to
expand scope and depth of their knowledge base in the major areas of natural science
and mathematics, and advance ones professional career as a science teacher. In order to
cater for the large number of science teachers, the programme will be offered in the
mode of course-work and dissertation and the duration shall be two years, on a full time
basis and three years on part-time basis. The course-work programme component
consists of science discipline-based and science education courses. A candidate shall
major in only one science (or mathematics) subject.

The choice of courses and the specific contents has been made carefully, guided by
results of a tracer and needs assessment report (8), to ensure that fundamental concepts
are not missed. The choice has also taken into account the specific content knowledge
base that is necessarily required for effective science/mathematics teaching.

The overall objective of the programme is to create a critical mass of well educated and
competent science teachers equipped with the necessary knowledge, skills and attitude
to teach effectively, and hence promote a science culture in students and society in
general. Specifically, a graduate of the proposed programme is expected to have:
Broadened and consolidated basic science content knowledge in his/her area of

specialization
Deepened and consolidated pedagogical content knowledge in chosen areas;
Increased competence in science education research;

124

Enhanced competence in designing and handling experimental work at school
level;
Developed competence in integrating ICT in teaching.

Entry qualifications
Admission into the programme will be in accordance with the University of Dar es
Salaam regulations regarding postgraduate studies. Candidates applying for the M.Sc.
(Ed.) programme shall hold B.Sc. (Ed.) or B.Ed. (Science) degrees from a recognized
institution. Graduates from non-education science degree programmes, or equivalent
qualifications, will be required to undertake postgraduate diploma in Education as a
prerequisite programme prior to admission into the M.Sc. (Ed.) programme.
Assessment and examination
The General University of Dar es Salaam and the College of Natural and Applied Sciences
examination regulations governing the award of M.Sc. degrees shall apply to the M.Sc.
(Ed.) programme. Specific requirements for basic science and education courses shall be
governed by relevant CoNAS and School of Education (SoED) examination regulations,
respectively.

Programme Structure

The M.Sc.(Ed.) is a taught programme comprising of course-work and dissertation and
the duration shall be twenty four months (2 years) for full-time students and thirty six
months (3 years) for part-time students. Coursework will run over a period of two
semesters of 15 teaching weeks each, with final examination at the end of each semester.
The second year shall be devoted to research and writing of the dissertation. During the
second semester of the first year, students will be required to develop research
proposals detailing the theoretical background and methodology, as a preparation for
research and dissertation work.

The course-work programme consists of science discipline-based and science education
courses. The science education component will be offered by the SoED. Science
discipline-based courses comprise of basic sciences, namely Biology (BL), Chemistry
(CH), Physics (PH) and Mathematics (MT), in which a candidate shall major in only one
of these subjects. Some of the science courses are drawn from among those offered in
the existing M.Sc. programmes in the respective Departments of the College of Natural
and Applied Sciences. In essence there will be four streams, namely, BL/Ed, CH/Ed,
PH/Ed and MT/Ed.

The minimum number of units a student is required to take is 36 consisting of a 30 units
core and elective units during the coursework year and dissertation during the second
year. The following minimum course load distribution is proposed:
Core Units: 15 Units from the science discipline-based courses, and 18 Units of science
education. This makes a total of 33 taught core Units.
Elective Units: At least 9 taught elective Units comprised of 3 Units of science discipline-
based component and 6 Units of Science Education.
Dissertation units: Shall weigh 6 core Units.

125

The minimum load for a candidate to graduate is proposed to be 48 Units. A candidate
must pass both the course-work and the dissertation to qualify for the degree award.

between the school and industry have not only seen many students passing through our
Postgraduate Programmes but also they have brought about a number of strategic
business and industry partnerships. These collaborations provide us with the basis to
progress research priorities and ensure that coursework programs are continually
developed to provide students with skills that meet business and industry needs. As of
now, the UDBS Postgraduate Office caters for a Ph.D. programme in Business
Administration with concentrations in Accounting, Entrepreneurship Development,

SCHOOL

I) MASTER OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION (MBA)

Introduction
The MBA is a programme designed with the needs of the business world and students in
mind. The business world requires enterprising men and women who can take stock of
the changing competitive business environment and make critical decisions for effective
and efficient strategy formulation and implementation. The students require a flexible
programme that can address their academic and social needs without compromising on
the quality. The programme therefore prepares students for the challenges of either
working for the public and/or private sector or becoming self employed and create job
opportunities for others.

Objective
The general objective of the MBA programme is to contribute to the world of business by
creating a critical mass of men and women who are enterprising and who can take stock
of the changing competitive business environment and make critical decisions for
effective and efficient strategy formulation and implementation.
Specifically, the MBA programme is designed with the needs of the business world,
employees, organizations and students in mind, to enable them:

i. Acquire the requisite theoretical understanding of the total business world and
generic areas of management;
ii. Develop practical skills for effective management building confidence in teams
and motivating other people;

profitable management and entrepreneurship

timing of the class sessions and the duration of the course up to completion. While the
fulltime MBA is offered during normal working hours, the part-time programme is

their jobs during normal working hours. The curriculum for the Executive MBA is
essentially the same, except that it is much more practical oriented in the sense that

modules which are delivered in intensive two week sessions, four times a year.

competitiveness of the private and public sectors through building capacity for
institutional reform and development. The intention is to develop high-level
competencies for enacting an enabling environment for development of
entrepreneurship, small enterprises and the private sector in general. The programme
develops pertinent theoretical, analytical and practical skills required for change agents
in this area.
Target group

developing, implementing, monitoring or evaluating reforms in the area of small
business, entrepreneurship or private sector development in Africa. They include
people working in central government, local government, government agencies, non-
governmental enterprises (NGOs), the private sector, civil society, etc.

POSTGRADUATE DIPLOMA IN ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND ENTERPRISE
DEVELOPMENT (PGDEED)

Introduction
Training, counseling and consultancy products that develop entrepreneurship are a key

delivery in many African countries is extremely limited.

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.

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.

INSTITUTE OF MARINE SCIENCES (IMS)

The Institute of Marine Sciences (IMS) was established on 17th October, 1978 in
accordance with the University of Dar es Salaam Act 1970. It is located in Zanzibar in the
premises of the former East African Marine Fisheries Research Organization (EAMFRO).
The Institute was established with the following aims and objectives:

a) The primary objective of the Institute is to undertake research in all aspects of
Marine Sciences.
b) The Institute shall provide postgraduate studies in Marine Sciences.
c) Provide advisory and consultancy services in Marine Affairs.
d) In future and in accordance with the country's manpower demand, the Institute
shall establish undergraduate studies in Marine Sciences.
e) The Institute shall be engaged in exploitation of Marine Resources as part of
merging theory and practice.
The Institute is organized into three sections, namely:
i) Physical and Environmental Marine Sciences (PEMS)
ii) Marine Biology and Resources Management (MBRM)
iii) Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
PEMS and MBRM are academic sections while ICT is a cross-cutting section. The ICT
section apart of the normal IT responsibilities includes GIS services, National
Oceanographic Data Centre (TzNODC), and the Marine Education Extension
Development (MEED) unit. The MEED unit is the outreach arm of the Institute as its
main function is to translate scientific/research findings into a simple language for the
various stakeholders.

The Institute has a good range of oceanographic equipment for field work. It also has
well equipped research laboratories and there is ample working space for visiting
scientists and postgraduate students. Through the Sida Marine Sciences Bilateral
Programmes, the Institute provides scholarships for postgraduate studies in Marine
Sciences. The Institute maintains good collaboration with donor agencies such as IOC,
Sida, CIDA, UNEP, UNESCO, IUCN, WWF, IFS, the World Bank, and many others. By
maintaining a clearly focused research agenda, the Institute has been able to contribute
to the national development, economically and scientifically. The Institute's Research
Agenda identifies seven areas of focus for the next five years. These are:

1) The coastal zone, coastal communities and the living resources
2) Coastal zone management.
3) Coastal processes and climate change
4) Offshore natural resources
5) Mariculture
6) Biodiversity and conservation

195

7) Tourism and eco-tourism
From the onset, it was realized that the current premises would not be enough for future
expansion of IMS activities and the anticipated increase in student enrolment. Thus, the
Government of the United Republic of Tanzania is currently constructing a new premise
at Buyu, South of Zanzibar Town for expansion of the Institute. It is hoped that the
Institute may be able to relocate some of her activities to Buyu soon.

POSTGRADUATE PROGRAMMES

The Institute of Marine Sciences offers three postgraduate programmes namely, M.Sc. by
Coursework and Dissertation, M.Sc. by Thesis and Ph.D. by Thesis. The programmes
offered are aimed at creating linkages between the consolidated research programmes
at IMS and postgraduate training and bilateral collaboration.

Entry Requirements
Admission conditions for both MSc and Ph.D are governed by the University of Dar es
Salaam General Regulations for Postgraduate Study Programmes. A candidate for
admission to the Masters degree (Marine Sciences) by Coursework and Dissertation
must have at least a Lower Second Class honours degree (i.e. with a GPA of at least 2.7)
of the University of Dar es Salaam. A candidate for admission to the Masters degree
(Marine Sciences) by thesis must have at least an Upper Second Class honours degree
(i.e. with GPA of at least 3.5) of the University of Dar es Salaam or an equivalent
qualifications from another recognized university during the first degree A candidate for
admission to the Doctor of Philosophy degree must have a Masters degree from the
University of Dar es Salaam or an equivalent from any other recognized University.

MASTER OF SCIENCE IN MARINE SCIENCES BY COURSEWORK AND DISSERTATION

The Master of Science degree (Marine Sciences) by Coursework and Dissertation
programme is aimed at producing marine scientists with the general understanding of
oceanographic concepts with specialization in either Marine and Coastal Resources
Management or Marine and Coastal Geo-informatics.

The Marine and Coastal Resources Management specialization focuses on marine
resources management as well as environmental and socio-economic issues. The
programme introduces remote sensing and GIS methods as analytical tools for managing
the coastal and marine resources. The programme can be seen as a 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

196

marine resources through an interdisciplinary education in marine science, policy, law,
quantitative analysis, databases and modeling.

The Marine and Coastal Geo-informatics specialization is designed to provide an
advanced education in the principles and practice of GIS and remote sensing in marine
sciences. The programme comprises taught courses, covering data models and data
structures, acquisition and management of data, spatial analysis and modeling, remote
sensing, GIS design and implementation issues, GIS programming and customization and
database technology. Concepts and techniques are illustrated using case study material
drawn from a variety of application areas. Practical work is undertaken using a variety
of open source and free softwares such as BILKO, ILWIS, BEAM (and others) and
commercial softwares such as, ArcGIS and ERDAS Imagine. For the award of MSc the
student must undertake an independent research project, submitted as a written
dissertation.

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.

MASTER OF SCIENCE IN CLIMATE CHANGE AND SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT (MSC.CC & SD)

General Objective
The general objective of the Master of Science Programme in Climate Change and
Sustainable Development (MSc.CC & SD) is to cater for graduates who have a thorough
understanding of resource utilisation, development and climate change related concepts.
In addition, these people are capable of generating solutions to climate change and

201

development problems by linking climate change science, developmental issues, policy
and practice.

Specific Objectives
The specific objectives of the M.Sc. programme in Climate Change and Sustainable
Development include:
i) to equip graduates with a higher level of knowledge and enhanced understanding
of the physical and human dimensions of climate change, allowing them to
discharge effectively their duties within issues encountered by climate-sensitive
sectors such as agriculture, health, tourism, fisheries and wildlife;
ii) to produce graduates who can conduct research, training, advocacy, and
community outreach in climate change and sustainable development issues;
iii) to equip graduates with the necessary multi- and inter-disciplinary knowledge
and skills to understand fully, employ, and professionally engage in activities
relating to climate change (e.g. climate science and modeling; analysis of climate
change impacts; adaptation, mitigation and sustainable development in theory,
practice and policy; climate change politics, governance, economics and law) to
enhance the adaptive and mitigation capacity of the society to climate change and
address developmental concerns in their areas;
iv) to tackle the chronic shortage of highly skilled and knowledgeable human
resources who can provide services at different capacities in governmental, non-
governmental and private organisations on issues relating to climate change and
sustainable development; and,
v) to train graduates who can think critically and communicate effectively in the
field of climate change and developmental issues.

Expected Learning Outcomes
The curriculum is designed with the view that graduates of the Master of Science in
Climate Change and Sustainable Development will be able to:
provide leadership in local, national, regional and international development with
a clear understanding of values and needs in the fields of climate change and
sustainable development;
apply geo-information in climate risk management particularly in drought, flood,
and crop failure monitoring;
understand local views, perceptions and practices of indigenous communities in
relation to climate-induced shocks such as economic loss, hunger, famine, human
dislocation and displacement; and understand climate change impacts,
adaptation and mitigation related issues;
understand critically the connections between climate change science, policy,
law, security and development;
perceive effectively how policy and law geared to the environment can promote
environmental protection, reduce climate change influences and restore peace
and tranquility in Tanzania and beyond;
conduct research on climate change science, climate economics, policy and law as
well as sustainable development related issues;
understand regional climate systems, prediction, uncertainty and downscaling,
and use of Global Circulation Models in assessing climate change scenarios;

202

identify, describe and discuss the main theories and concepts in project design
and management; and understand project, technical, financial, and economic
analyses;
analyse various circumstances, contexts and reasons for occurrence of
development and security unrest in a given locality and how to address them;
understand pollution abatement, and quantitative methodologies for analysing
energy, natural resource, and environmental problems; and,
participate actively in community services in various capacities, such as
environment affairs.
