The Chancellors Message
As Chancellor of the University of Bagamoyo, I would like to take this
opportunity to greatly congratulate the Management of the University for
taking us this far such that this academic year we have over 65 students
spread over all the three Colleges of the University: Law, Education and
Science. I know the rst steps in creating a new university can be and are
dicult and tricky. It required courage, persistence, and ability to take bold
steps and say: Yes we can do it.
The greatest challenge in establishing a new private university is the
funding to nance infrastructure and pay sta. This has been a problem as
the university relies on student fees but the students were not there yet. I
am glad that the Management was able to raise start up resources from a
variety of sources until the fees started to trickle in. It is my hope that our
fees will be reasonable and aordable to the poor peasants who form the
bulk of the parents of our students.
I know all our eyes are focusing on the Kiromo Campus, near Bagamoyo
where most of the undergraduate programs will be oered. It is my hope
that we shall be able to maintain the Dar es Salaam Campus for graduate
programs and evening studies. Lastly, but not least, may I also oer my
warm appreciation to the core sta of the University, who even when they
could not be paid well, they persisted and stayed on to help the Management
to prepare the programs and courses ready for the take o last season. I
heartly say God Bless.
On behalf of the Council and the Board of Trustees I wish the University
of Bagamoyo a happy take o.
Elinaza K. Sendoro, Chancellor

The Vice Chancellors Welcome
The University of Bagamoyo greatly appreciates your decision to pursue
your studies here. We shall do our very best to meet your expectations.
Our Prospectus presents the types of courses we oer plus other necessary
services relevant to the academy. We hope you will nd them useful
The University of Bagamoyo is a new comer in the academy. We are just
in our second year but the thinking about establishing a private university
of this kind is not a new one. It has been in our minds and on the drawing
board for a long time now. Tanzania needs good private education now than
ever before. There are about 40 universities and university colleges now but
not a single operating private university. Tanzanians need private quality
education here so as not to send their children outside the country to get
education, which is not just expensive, but possibly not very relevant.
We want to give Tanzanians a choice which they have been deprived for
far too long. The freedom is now theirs. The aim of this University is to
provide competitive high quality education that challenges the established
ethos and norms. Our teaching will be modern and delivered by qualied
instructors and professors. Our teaching facilities are modern and comfort-
able, and conveniently located.
However, we have one appeal to make. Our current campus at Kawe is
temporary and less comfortable than we would wish to be. Our long term
location is at Kiromo near Bagamoyo where we have already acquired plenty
of land. We would like to appeal for your understanding if current facilities
are not optimal. We are also open for any discussion on how to improve the
comfort of your stay here.
Otherwise, I wish you success in your studies and safe stay with us until
you nish.

Chapter 1
The University of Bagamoyo
Prole
1.1 Background
The University of Bagamoyo is an independent, privately owned non denom-
inational and non-partisan institution, of higher learning. The University
is owned by a Registered Board of Trustees. The founding of University
is part and parcel of a great vision to seek the achievement of a free and
democratic Tanzania being guided by principles of social justice, equity and
peace.
These principles includes, inter alias, the empowerment of the Tanzanian
public with education in the prevailing socio-economic context, with a view
to creating strong democratic civil society that respects democratic constitu-
tionalism, the rule of law, good governance, and holistic social, economical,
political, and varied belief systems of the society. Within this context, the
Registered Board of Trustees of the University believes in an integrated for-
mation that aims at a holistic nurturing of a human being, in which the
mind, the spirit, and the body are involved in producing a human being of a
new type. The University academic programmes takes leadership and indi-
vidual personality nurturance as the core elements around which knowledge
gravitates. The knowledge has to be relevant and of high quality so as to
be benecial to the society in general.
1.2 Historical Roots of the University
Universities are founded on the basis of past and current momentous changes
taking place in society. The University of Bagamoyo is no exceptional. Cur-
rently, Tanzania greatly needs high quality education and training. The
population participation rates are as low as about 3 percent for University
Education and training!. Graduate education in the country has very low
1
enrolments. At this rate the nation can not take o in its mission to achieve
middle income social and economic status. For economic takeo Tanzania
need participation rates of between 12 and 15 percent. Tanzania needs a
qualitative leap in its social and economic development, from the current
dependent into the self reliant, condent, and self conscious nation that it
was during its rst two decades after independence. Tanzania is ready for
a new liberation through education that can disentangle it from the current
dependency syndrome. Tanzania needs young and highly educated civil so-
ciety capable of generating and sustainably propelling changes in all sectors
of the social economic life. Tanzania needs an intelligentsia that thinks out-
side existing knowledge boxes and the University of Bagamoyo is prepared
and ready to play its role in this renewed liberation struggle.
The Trustees of the University of Bagamoyo realise that the current
trend of blaming government leaders for every problem or looking to the
Government to solve all problems is not at all helpful to the development of
Tanzania. Such attitude only aggravates the dependency and poverty situ-
ation that Tanzania is at present in. Many leaders never attended formal or
informal leadership training and this may in part explain some of the current
problems the country is now facing. To address this problem the existing
governance structures must be provided with leaders who are well trained
and committed to the task of developing the country and propelling it into
modernity and prosperity. Traditionally the mainstream education content
imparted to the youth of this nation has predominantly aimed at producing
timid job seekers. In order to foster and engender positive change of the
mindset of the Tanzanian youth the Universityof Bagamoyo is committed to
do all that is possible to create a new breed of university graduates who are
motivated and committed to solve the vexing problems of povery and back-
wardness; graduates who strive for self-emplyment and job creation rather
than being only job seekers. The focus of the University of Bagamoyo shall
therefore be to produce graduates who will able to employ themselves and
or join together with other members of society in creating jobs for others
and ensuring full utilisation of their academic and professional capabilities
and potential.
In this respect the University of Bagamoyo intends to put actions into
its Leaderships belief that waiting for the government to solve all national
problems is a di-service to the people of Tanzania. The University therefore
intends to fully participate in solving national problems through the design
and delivery of curriculae and student activity programs that will prepare
good and committed leaders of tomorrow.
1.2.1 The Historical Context of the Name Bagamoyo
The name Bagamoyo, is derived from etymological concept: bwaga moyo
which was the act of slaves hurling their emanciated bodies to the ground,
2
after the end of the long and torturous caravan route from the interior of
the country. The route spanned hundreds of kilometres of walking from the
Congo-DRC to Bagamoyo through a long torturous route bound in chains,
and carrying several kilograms of trade wares such as ivory tusks, gold, and
white human beings.This was the height of human debasement, suering,
and endurance. From Bagamoyo the tired and dispirited slaves were forced
into the bowels of slave ships for an even much longer, and dangerouse trip
to unknown lands across vast oceans. Therefore the word Bagamoyo is
also a moniker for the helplessness and hopelessness that the African slaves
who were our great-great-great grandmothers and grandfathers, felt as they
embarked on the long journey into the unknown lands across the Indian
Ocean, the Atlantic and Pacic oceans.
The ancient slave trade gives Bagamoyo a historical heritage that is
rare and unique. The University of Bagamoyo wants to turn this otherwise
dark, exasperating and ignominious part of the African and in particular
Tanzanian human history into an exciting cultural engagement aimed at
making the University of Bagamoyo a learning centre of excellence for critical
cultural studies, governance, and tourism. This role shall make Bagamoyo a
gem not only in East Africa, but also in Africa and the world. Students of the
University will thus be able to enjoy Bagamoyos exquisite cultural ambiance
and the historical heritage that is characteristic of Tanzanian hospitality to
the whole mankind.
The University of Bagamoyo, motivated by the historical context of Bag-
amoyo and Tanzania, plans to create programs that oer new dimensions
and contributions to science, technology, and the liberal arts. Through the
establishment of UB, the founders of the University hope to bequeath the
nation and mankind, a priceless pearl in the midst of the white soothing
sands of Bagamoyo. There could not be a bettrer choice for the kind of
University that the Regents of the new University have in mind than Bag-
amoyo Township itself. Bagamoyo, where the ignorance and pangs of fear
and the great pain and suering wrought by the slavery era still lingers on,
needs to be re-charged and re-invigorated by the University of Bagamoyo
so that later, many years from now, the generations that shall pass through
the Bagamoyo University will proudly utter: Through Bagamoyo we were
enslaved, and through Bagamoyo we were liberated.
1.3 The Founding Principles of the University
The University of Bagamoyo believes that there is at present a great lead-
ership void the country and this serves as a backdrop for the design and
development of all UB Curricula. The UB curriculum therefore has a great
emphasis on imparting leadership and governance skills among all students
of the University irrespective of specialisation. Either, the University of Bag-
3
amoyo shall concentrate in such elds of knowledge where there is, within the
country, sucient capacity and human resource strength to ensure quality
education and professionalism. The University of bagamoyo also considers it
very important that its curriculum design takes into consideration the need
to make good education aordable to the majority of the poverty stricken
people of Tanzania. At the same time the University shall aim at estab-
lishing its niche in rare but essential elds of knowledge at a reasonable
price.
1.3.1 Vision
The University has its eyes on the sky and its feet on the ground and it
is therefore guided by the Vision to become: A Unique World Class
Centre of Excellence in Oering University Education Focusing
on Leadership and Governance
1.3.2 Mission
The Mission of the university of Bagamoyo is: To nurture and develop
socially conscious, committed and ethical human being through
integrated holistic formation.
1.3.3 Guiding Philosophy
The guiding philosophy of University of Bagamoyo is:
To lead is to show the way.
1.4 Corporate Strategic Plan
UB which is a new university is guided in its development activities by a
ve year Rolling Strategic Plan (2010), the Business Plan (2010) and its
Implementation Master Plan (2010). The work of creating this new univer-
sity commenced in 2010 and it is expected to be completed by 2020 when
the construction of the main campus at Kiromo in Bagamoyo township and
Makurunge Village gets completed. The transition towards the completion
of the new university also envisages the creation of new UB colleges, Insti-
tutes and centres of excellence as and when the resources needed become
available and the demand for new academic and research programs require.
The upcoming colleges include the College of business, Entrepreneurial stud-
ies and Tourism, the College of Arts, Social Sciences and Journalism, the
College of Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences, and College of Engineering
and Technology.
Currently the operational colleges, institutes, schools and centres include
the College of Education and Allied Social Sciences, the College of Law,
4
the College of Science, informatics and Built Environment, the Institute of
Human Rights and Governance, the Leadership, Governance and Diplomacy
Centre and the School of Languages and Communication Skills.
1.5 Location of the University
1.5.1 The Dar Es Salaam Campus:
Currently the university of Bagamoyo operates from two premises located
at Sembeti Street Plot 709 and Kawe Beach opposite the Times FM head-
quarters. The Sembeti Street building which is located next to the Oxford
University Building oces serves as the Universitys Headquarters or Main
Oce. The Kawe Beach location boasts of two ultramodern buildings and
it hosts Academic sta Oces,Sta Lounge, Classrooms, Lecture theatres,
library and science laboratories and starts with a vision that urban setup
has high need for academic institution as the gaps have been identied.
The main building at Kawe Beach is conveniently located next to the Kawe
Beach and it has a beautful play ground just next to the shoreline. Each
of the four lecture theatres at Kawe Beach is equipped with modern class-
room furniture that incorporate inbuilt desktop computer screen in each
desk designed to link up to a sentral server using the ultramodern thin
client (or N-Computing Computer network Solution).Each lecture theatre is
also tted with a PowerPoint projector for classroom lectures and students
presentations. In addtion to the two existing buildings at Kawe Beach a
seven storybuilding structure that will host additional sta oces, class-
rooms and seminar rooms is currently under construction and it is expected
to be commissioned in July of 2012. Besides the Kawe Beach facilities the
UB has also access to classromm space at the Ursino Complex located at

located at short distance from the headquarters and within reach of City
Bus Transport services.
Due to limited construction space in the Dar Es Salaam urban areas, the

and this will be within the 200 acres of land which lies between the two
villages of Makurunge and Kiromo. Construction process will be activated
in Bagamoyo expected from ve years from 2011. It will be noted however,
that boarding hostels will be under construction at Bagamoyo in proceeding
5

service outside the university at the initial stages. And for those that will
continue being under the Dar campus boarding facilities will remain under
private consideration.

One of the major requirements for students welfare provision, is the medical
services. Students have a right to proper medical services throughout their
life in the university. It is the duty of the university to ensure the provision
of medical service to the students is discharged without hiccups. During
the rst few years of the universitys life medical services may not be of the
quality and quantity expected in the campus. The University of Bagamoyo
will organize medical insurance that ensures students get access to proper
medical attention when need arises.
There be rst aid kit with medical personnel under the oce of the stu-
dent aairs manager who will form a team and assist students that get sick
at the university premises. The University will also ensure that all students
are covered under some medical insurance scheme using the medical capita-
tion fees paid by the students. It is imperative that Students have access to
the best and aordable medical facilities across the country to ensure that
academic life is not aected by any eventuality of medical problems.
In addition to the medical services the Student Services Directorate will
13

amoung UBs student body. COunselling involves encouraged students to
talk about their diculties whether, emotional, academic and non academic.
Ultimately the University plans to establish a university counseling bureau

ing the students rights and interests within the broader framework and the

partment to form a draft constitution for their organization. The draft will
be reviewed by the students constitution committee formed by the class
representatives from all classes, and the outcome shall be shared among the
students through their class groupings. The comments shall then be gath-
ered by the constitution committee and a nal draft will be compiled. The

as presented or, (b) Approve the constitution subject to amendments. If
approved without change, the students interim government will proceed to
call for an election. If returned for amendments the constitution committee
will then proceed with structuring and modifying the document for veri-
cation of compliance by the Student Aairs Manager. Upon approval of
the amendments the interim government will then proceed with preparation
of elections. After Election the student government will then be endorsed
by the university council. Selected members of the students organisation
will sit as students representatives in the University Council and SENATE.

Aairs Manager (SAM) according to the university charter and the UB stu-
dents by-laws.

to seek for sucient funds for books and stationery from their sponsors.
3.5 The University library
The University library currently operates from a small but well equipped li-
brary capable of holding 2000 to 5000 volumes which, for the number of stu-
dents enrolled annually, is quite adequate. The library is headed by a com-
mitted retired professional librarian with over 35 years of experience working
at Government and University libraries. The library is equipped with mod-
ern furnitures to provide a comfortable space for students to browse, read
and borrow text books, reference books and journals and reports. The li-
brary currently has a cluster of four PCs for facilitating library searches
andmanagement of library requestions and borrowings. Students can in

6.3 Structure of the University of Bagamoyo Aca-
demic Programs
6.3.1 The Semester System
The University academic year consists of two semesters, each running for 17
weeks(with 15 weeks for teaching and 2 weeks for examinations) except for
short courses. The Short Courses are delivered intensively from one week to
four weeks.
6.3.2 Mode of Teaching
All University of Bagamoyo courses are taught in lecture sessions combined
with seminars each week. The lecture sessions are mainly for one-way infor-
mation from the lecturer to the students. The lecture sessions may consist
of students from dierent programmes.
The seminar groups are small approximately 30 students. Generally
the students are divided into seminars/tutorial groups according to their
programmes. The student-teacher relationship in the seminar/tutorials is
close and a variety of dierent learning methods are used.
University of Bagamoyo students are responsible for their own learning.
Self studies and group discussions are considered as important as lectures
and seminars. For each course there will be an outline given to the stu-
dents. The course outline is a plan for all plenary sessions and seminars in
a particular course. The course outline and timetable species the detailed
timing and sequencing of each topic. The students are expected to prepare
themselves and follow up with self studies on each topic.
Practical sessions are the other form of teaching whereby students carry
out practicals according to prepared schedules to explain a particular theo-
retical part. These practical sessions complement the lectures delivered in
specic topics.
In the sciences, eld trips are normally done in order for the students
to be exposed to reality. The eld trips are in the areas of geoinformatics,
ecology, marine biology and related disciplines.
Faculty members of the University of Bagamoyo are available on ap-
pointment for individual student consultation.
6.3.3 Workload and units for Undergraduate Students
On average, a degree, course student is expected to complete a minimum of
90 units in a three year degree programme. This means for each year the
student will take a minimum of 30 units and 15 units per semester.
Bachelors Degree Programmes consist of 6 semesters. LLB and BED
students are required to complete a minimum of 120 units as they have a
47
four year programme. The maximum duration of studies for bachelor degree
programme is ve (5) years.
Certicate Programmes consist of 2 semesters, each of 10 cp. This re-
quires the students to complete a total of 20 credit points during the one
year. (Certicate in Law students are required to clear 25 cp to cover the
Field Attachment).
For Diploma in Law the total number of units is 60. Ten (12) units are
granted each of the four semesters and 12 units cover the Field Attachment
between the two years of study.
For Diploma in Science the students are required to complete a minimum
of 60 units for a2 year programme.
For Postgraduate Diploma in Education the unit weighting is 60 units.
6.3.4 Workload and Units for Graduate Students
Candidates who qualify to continue with the research phase after the course-
work part shall be required to submit a dissertation (in partial fulllment of
the masters degree requirements) before the expiry of the registration period.
A candidate who has successfully passed both coursework and dissertation
components will be entitled to be awarded the University of Bagamoyo Mas-
ters Degree in the relevant eld of study.
6.3.5 Field Attachment and Term Paper Writing
The eld attachment for University of Bagamoyo undergraduate students
is meant to provide a practical element in the study programmes. In their
eld attachment period, students are placed in organizations/industry and
given an opportunity to practice some of the theoretical concepts learned in
the classroom. For Education students, this eld attachment is in the form
of teaching practice whereby the students practice how to teach under the
supervision of University College Sta.
The eld attachment is integrated into the programme and allocated 8
weeks.
Before students go to the eld, they use part of their fourth semester to
prepare a eld study programme in the form of a project proposal. The var-
ious departments are responsible for helping the students to plan and carry
out their projects. Each student is, therefore, attached to a lecturer who
will supervise the student throughout the various phases of the project. Stu-
dents can work in a eld project individually or as a group. A eld project
carries a full 6 units. In cooperation with the organization/institution, the
student is also given a eld supervisor from the organization/institution.
The eld project is evaluated based on the Field Attachment Policy and the
48

College of Science,
Informatics and Built
Environment Programs
The College of Science, Informatics and the Built Environment is one of the
three pioneering Constituent Colleges of the University of Bagamoyo. Its
main focus is initially to focus on graduate education in science and infor-
matics where various baseline surveys have shown a big decit in the current
national educational structure. An equally important area of concern that
this college places emphasis on is the lack of scientists and professionals
versed in the elds of environmental science, environmental managament,
planning, design and construction in the built environment and geo-science.
The academic research and outreach programs of the college are designed
to address these key national deciencies while at the same time accom-
modating the Universitys mission of the holistic formation of a scientists,
engineers and professionals who are concious of the African peoples painful
history and at the same time are capable of rising above the limitations
imposed by the African peoples past history.
11.1 The General Objectives of the College
The College was established with the following specic objectives:
1. Contribute in meeting the growing demand in the country and African
region for graduates in the elds of basic sciences, and professionals in
the areas of Computer Science, Technology, Informatics, environmen-
tal science and Engineering.
2. To meet the growing need for quality science, mathematics and ICT
teachers at primary, secondary schools and tertriary institutions in the
country
119
3. To Expand the pool of experts in science, informatics and the built
environment through quality graduate education.
4. To Generate a new breed of self aware Tananian scientists, engineers,
information science specialists and professionals in the built environ-
ment application elds that are capable of nding solutions to out-
standing national problems through active and eective research.
11.1.1 Practical Training In the College
The College of Science and Education runs an eight-week practical training
programme in which students engage in practical activities related to their
elds of study. Normally these activities are held in various institutions out-
side the University. The programme has two parts one coming immediately
after the First Year and the other immediately after the Second Year. The
programme seeks:
1. To expose students to the various research and/or production activities
being carried out in dierent parts of the country;
2. To enable the students to apply their knowledge in practice;
3. To ensure that, on leaving the University graduates have acquired
some appropriate work experience;
4. To establish and maintain contact between prospective employers and
the University in order to ensure that students are given the appropri-
ate skills and knowledge for the jobs they are likely to be called upon
to perform after graduation; and
5. To enable prospective employers and employees to become acquainted
with one another in the working situation.

11.3.3 Bachelor of Science in Biology
Description of the Degree Program
The Bachelor of Science degree in Biology is an undergraduate degree pro-
gramme that will enroll students to pursue Biology or in combination with
other subjects like; chemistry, and education. When in combination with
other subjects it will be treated as a major subject and the others as minor
subjects. The biology program covers the following eld of biology: Plant
anatomy, Plant pathology, Genetics, Microbiology, Fisheries, Mycology, En-
tomology, and Parasitology among others. Students shall be advised on the
124
course combinations in order for them to come out with a specialty in one of
the biological areas. In all cases theoretical and applied knowledge are both
reinforced and supplemented by a diverse selection of experimental work, a
necessary facet of biology.
Rationale The development of Tanzania has put many challenges in al-
most all sectors of the society and the economy. The way out of this quag-
mire is to invest in science and technology in order to boost out productiv-
ity and hence improve both the economy and the standards of living of our
people 80% of whom are peasants. Since the backbone of the economy is
agriculture based, investing in biological sciences will pay us dividends in
the future. The biological knowledge is required to understand how, when
to grow out crops, and how to store and process them in order to add value.
Biological knowledge is needed in our sheries industry which in some lakes
is threatened with extinction of some species. A holistic biological knowl-
edge is required for the management and conservation of our wildlife, and
environment which is the backbone of our tourist industry ( a second foreign
exchange earner for the country). The Bachelor of Science in Biology of the
University of Bagamoyo is the rst of its kind and a unique programme that
has come at an opportune moment when the country is just launching a
fteen year development programme that places a lot of emphasis on sci-
ence and technology. Graduates of this programme will generally required
in research, teaching, and main government ministries and institutions. In
Tanzania the specic potential employers are mentioned below:
Programme objectives The main objective of the B.Sc. in Biology is
intended to churn out biologists who are suited to the current market needs
and capable of understanding research and related activities in the life sci-
ences. The Bachelor of Science in Biology of the University of Bagamoyo
is a unique programme as it aims at imparting the fundamental biological
knowledge that a student needs in his further advancement into other spe-
cialized elds in biology. These elds are: botany, zoology, microbiology,
sheries, agriculture, ecology and other related elds. The programme will
impart holistic knowledge in biology for them to understand life in more
comprehensive manner. The students will have practical exercises in the
laboratory as well as practical industrial training in the eld in order to
apply the theoretical knowledge that they have gained in class.
Programme Specic objectives:
1. To prepare graduates with a wide range of knowledge in Biology that
they will apply for solving problems of pollution, pests, conservation,
diseases in society and related areas.
125
2. To prepare graduates with skills that may turn them into entrepreneurs
in agriculture and related production.
3. To prepare graduates that may work in industry, research institutions,
teaching profession, and relevant government departments.
4. To understand the biology of plants and animals thoroughly for their
eventual conservation and management.
5. To understand the ecology of our freshwater and marine plants and
animals and how they can be of benet to human beings
