VICE CHANCELLOR’S STATEMENT
I am delighted to introduce the undergraduare education prospectus for the academic period
2015/2016 – 2016/2017. This prospectus provides a synopsis of diverse undergraduate
academic programmes for Health and Allied Sciences offered by the different academic units
of the University as well as key information that is intended to guide prospective and
registered students of MUHAS on competency based education. Your attention is drawn to
the strong emphasis given to competence building and training in professionalism in each
programme of study. The overarching goal is to train highly competent graduates equipped
with the requisite competencies and professional attributes for ethical conduct and practice in
health care delivery at national, regional or global levels.
Since its establishment as a higher learning institution more than 50 years ago the growth and
development of this institution has been quite remarkable. It is regarded as a premier
Institution in health sciences mainly because of its demand-driven health-related competency-
based programmes and good track record of the graduates. This prospectus outlines each
undergraduate Programme and explains the criteria for student eligibility, examination rules
and regulations and other special academic requirements for the competency based education.
In total MUHAS currently offers 10 diploma programs, 14 undergraduate programs to over

3,000 students. A total of 300 highly trained and experienced faculty in five schools and two
institutes administer the various academic programmes summarized in this prospectus.
MUHAS also prides itself in twelve directorates, which carry out various functions and
coordinate activities aimed at enabling MUHAS to implement its core functions of teaching,
research and public service.
The University library is a leading medical and health sciences library in the country.
Currently it has more than 75,000 volumes of books on a variety of health related disciplines.
MUHAS ICT Network allows users to access a variety of online journals. The library is solar
powered and has a 24 hours reading room, discussion and computer rooms.
vii
The strategic location of the MUHAS muhimbili campus , about one kilometer from the Dar
es Salaam city centre, the commercial capital of Tanzania, offers an intellectually stimulating
environment coupled with rich cultural, social, sporting and political life. Proximity to other
highly reputable public and private higher learning institutions also provides multiple
opportunities for peer interaction, which is both academically and socially beneficial to
student life. The University is developing a new campus in a 3800 acres land at Mloganzila,
25 km from Dar es Salaam city. The process of construction of the University hospital has
started and plans for the development of other facilities are already in place. In about two to
three years MUHAS students and staff will enjoy state of the art facilities conducive for
teaching, learning, research and public service.
The Vision of MUHAS is “a University excelling in quality training of health professionals,

research and public services with a conducive learning and working environment”.
It is my hope that you will find this prospectus resourceful and use it to guide you and plan
your activities while at MUHAS. It is my pleasure to welcome you to this University if you
have already chosen to study here and encourage prospective candidates to make the
necessary preparations that will enable them to make the right choice and join MUHAS in
future.

CHAPTER ONE: GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences (MUHAS) is a successor to the
Muhimbili University College of Health Sciences (MUCHS). MUCHS was established
through an Act No 9 of 1991, by upgrading the then Faculty of Medicine. The Faculty of
Medicine started as the Dar es Salaam School of Medicine, established in 1963 by the
Ministry of Health with the primary aim of training Clinical Officers. In 1968, the School
was upgraded to a Faculty of Medicine of the Dar es Salaam University College of the
University of East Africa and in 1970 Faculty of Medicine of the University of Dar es
Salaam. In 1976 the Faculty of Medicine, academically belonging to the University fo Dr Es
Salaam was administratively incorporated into Muhimbili Hospital to form the Muhimbili
Medical Centre (MMC).
The Faculty of Medicine was then upgraded to a constituent College of the University of Dar
es Salaam in 1991, with the aim of nurturing it to a full-fledged University. By an Act of
Parliament MMC was disestablished in 2000 to create two closely linked but autonomous
public institutions; namely MUCHS and the Muhimbili National Hospital (MNH). The
Parliament Act No 9 of 1991 that established MUCHS was repealed in 2005. Subsequently,
in 2007, MUHAS was established in line with the Universities Act No 7 of 2005.
The objectives of the University are the advancement of knowledge, diffusion and extension
of technology and learning, the provision of higher education and research and, so far as is
consistent with those objects, the nurturing of the intellectual, aesthetic, social and moral
growth of the students.
The University has two campuses; Muhimbili Campus and Mloganzila Campus. Muhimbili
Campus is situated in Ilala Municipality, in Upanga, 9United Nations Road. Mloganzila
Campus is still new and in the process of development. It occupies 3,800 acres and is located
3 km off Dar es Salaam-Morogoro highway, 25 km from Dar es Salaam City Center.
MUHAS has other facilities including, the Bagamoyo Teaching Unit at Bagamoyo and
Kihonda, 8 km from Morogoro Municipality along Morogoro-Dodoma road. The two
facilities are used for fieldwork during Community rotations and other research activities.
MUHAS has 91 programmes in biomedical, clinical and allied health sciences. These
programmes are taught in the five Schools and oneInstitutes; 7 are diploma, 3 advanced

1.10 THE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY

The University Library is the largest national collection of health/medical resource. Its
main function is to provide library and documentation services to support heath/medical
services, research, teaching and consultancy at the University and Muhimbili National
Hospital. However, the Library also serves other users from outside the two Muhimbili
institutions on request. The MUHAS Library has four main divisions: Technical Services
(Cataloguing and Classification); Reader services (Reference, Circulation, Information
Desk and Special Reserve); Periodicals and Documentation; and ICT services.
The collection mainly comprises of books and periodicals in medicine and health. The
Library has a rich collection of health and medical information materials, including
government and research publications. It also includes electronic information resources,
both off-line and on-line resources, such as CD-ROM, e-resources and Internet facilities
that include a range of electronic journals and health databases like HINARI, Pub Med,
Cochrane, Blackwell, Willey, and EBSC-HOST.
The broad areas covered include Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Public Health
and Basic Sciences. Social Sciences and Humanities are also covered, to a lesser extent.
The collection currently comprises about 50,000 volumes of books and about 200 titles of
periodicals. The library is currently subscribing to 30 peer reviewed journals.
The Library has a mixture of local content materials mostly generated from Tanzania and
East Africa for example Tanzania Medical Journal, Tanzania Dental Journal and Dar es
Salaam Medical Journal (Students‟ Journal). Other includes the East African Medical
Journal and East African Journal of Public Health. Materials that are not available in the

1.11 UNIVERSITY ICT SERVICES
Since 1998 the University has been providing ICT services to Academic Staff, Students,
Researchers and Administrative Staff. These services include e-mail services and Internet
services. The University has thereforeinvested in a powerful fiber optic network
connecting all buildings thus providing high-speed data transmission (100Mbps/1Gbps).
The communication gateway to the outside word is through a VSAT link currently
operating at a bandwidth of 1Mbps/ 512 kbps (down/ up) upgradeable to 2/1 Mbps
(down/up) and beyond as the financial situation improves. The Server Room is equipped
with eight servers and eight routers. The servers provide e-mail access, Internet surfing,
30
on-line learning as well as digital library services. The routers function to separate
information traffic to different buildings and reduce data jams. Two-5KVA
uninterruptible power supply units protect these expensive instruments, a solar power
back up system and inverters.
Nine lecture halls are fitted with permanently fixed multimedia projectors and desktop
computers to provide lecturers with reliable teaching aids. Plans for the future intend to
have such facilities in all teaching rooms. The operating theatre at the Muhimbili
National Hospital has been fitted with a closed circuit TV to enable students follow up
operations without having to be physically inside the theatres. This will greatly alleviate
the congestion caused by the increased student intake. The University has recently
acquired video conferencing facilities that will make it possible for lecturers to deliver
telemedicine services to doctors in remote areas. The University recently received a
donation of 50 computers from Kyoto computers Gakuin in Japan that greatly improved
computer access by replacing defective PCs used by students and staff.
To ensure proper usage of ICT facilities especially Wireless internet services, student
must sign agreements/contracts with DICT to deter the misuse of ICT facilities, which
include inviting guest, friends and others to use wireless in campus, to use computers for
huge downloads of songs, movies and illicit materials.

CHAPTER TWO: SCHOOL OF MEDICINE
2.1 INTRODUCTION
The School of Medicine (SOM) has committed itself to responding to major national and
global challenges, in the contexts of a changing social, economic and political
environment, and a substantial increase of student intake. The original School went
through a number of milestones over the past 50 years to reach its present status.
Recently completed major revisions of teaching programs from traditional to
competency-based curricula, make the School an indisputable centre of excellence in
Tanzania. The original curriculum has also seen several changes from the earlier term
system, through a traditional semester system and the current competency-based
modularized semester education system.
The Mission and Vision of the School of Medicine are aligned to the mission and vision
of the University. The Mission of the school is “Tosustain development of excellence in
quality training of health and related professionals, research and service provision to the
community using highly qualified experts within a state of the art environment”
The Vision of the school is “To bea competent and competitive School with an
international reputation in quality training, research and service provision”
The functions of the School and its activities are guided by the core components of its
mission, which are:-
1. To be directly engaged in the creation, transmission and evaluation of knowledge
in medical sciences, laboratory and radiation therapy treatment technologies in the
pursuit of excellence in academic scholarship and intellectual inquiry through
teaching, research and provision of advisory and public medical related services.
2. To provide a place of learning, education and research in medical, laboratory and
radiation therapy treatment technology sciences and through this provide quality
services commensurate with a good medical School.
3. To provide the labor market in Tanzania and Eastern Africa, with highly
competent medical professionals and technologists able to contribute effectively
to prevention, treatment and management of the health related problems of
society. This is to be achieved through the prime principle of integrating research,
teaching and advisory services in the immediate subject areas.
4. To contribute to the intellectual and professional life of Tanzania and Eastern
Africa and to act as a focal point for continuing professional development,
research and services that are of interest to the people of Tanzania.
In terms of output delivery the functions of the School can be stated as:
1. To provide undergraduate education in Medicine, Medical Laboratory Sciences
and Radiation therapy technology for degree and non-degree programs.
32
2. To provide post-graduate education in different specialties and superspecialties of
medicine
3. To support teaching of students/trainees from other Schools/Institutes at MUHAS
as well as for stakeholders that are external to the University.
4. To prepare and publish, in its own right, medical educational materials in various
fields of the clinical, diagnostic and biomedical sciences.
5. To conduct in its own right medical research and disseminate findings.
6. To carry out contracted medical research on behalf of third party clients
7. To carry out scientific educational, professional and technical consultancy
services on behalf of third party clients.
8. To engage in cost containment and income generating ventures related to its
outputs.
9. To provide in Tanzania a place of learning, education and research in health
sciences and through these provide medical services of the highest standard and
quality required and expected of a University.
The School of Medicine provides a highly dynamic environment for teaching and
learning, research and service. The School has a research environment that enables the
University to stay at the cutting edge of medical and related research. Faculty in the
School has begun to utilize the field of Information Communication Technology (ICT) to
keep pace with developments in the field and disciplines of medicine nationally and
globally. Since the world is increasingly becoming more like one village, the school has
realized that health is a global issue; understanding of and soultions to global concenrns
such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, avian flu, injecting drug use, or the ravages of war
cannot be confined to one country or even one continent. Therefore there is need to
ensure that students are conversant with global perspectives of health and health care.
Considering our mission and vision, the School in return expects that students undertake
the programmes offered by the school with all enthusiasm, ethical conduct and
professionalism and endeavor to become role models in their country. Competency based
education introduced in the 2011/12 academic year, shifts teaching and learning in the
school to a new paradigm, to ensure our graduates develop appropriate competencies and
be responsive to the societies they will serve upon completion of their studies. Below is a
description of the competency-based education programmes.
2.2 UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMMES
2.2.1 Doctor of Medicine (MD) Degree Programme

CHAPTER FOUR: SCHOOL OF PHARMACY
4.1 INTRODUCTION
The School of Pharmacy has about 41 years of experience of training pharmaceutical
personnel, thus becoming the oldest higher learning institution in Tanzania that offers
Bachelor Degree program. Pharmacy education embraces the search, development,
formulation, analysis, storage and distribution of products for maintenance and
restoration of good health as well as provision of information and guidance on proper use
of medicines. The School has the vision of becoming center of excellence in providing
high quality and relevant pharmacy education, research and consultancy services in
pharmacy and related fields. The Bachelor of Pharmacy Programme of MUHAS
therefore aims to equip the graduate pharmacists with adequate knowledge, skills and
attitudes to enable them function as experts in pharmaceutical care and sciences.
The current curriculum has envisioned to put together an education programme that
prepares graduates to develop the core competencies required to deliver pharmaceutical
services in all branches of pharmacy practice including community pharmacy, hospital
pharmacy and patient care, industrial pharmacy, drug development, drug legislation, drug
regulation, drug procurement, drug storage, drug distribution, drug quality assurance,
drug marketing and pharmaceutical policy formulation.
The School has skilled and well trained faculty capable of mentoring students to their
bright future in pharmaceutical and other related fields. The school also boasts of a
modern Research and Development (R&D) Laboratory acquired through the financial
and technical assistance of the German-Tanzania Cooperation (giz) and Action Medeor.
It is the only R&D Laboratory of its kind in East and Central Africa that equips students
and faculty with state of the art skills in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Recently a grant
from USAID afforded a major renovation of a state of the art analytical testing laboratory
which was inaugurated in February 2015 to boost postgraduate research and testing
services to various clients. Students will not regret to have chosen School of Pharmacy
programs.

CHAPTER FIVE:SCHOOL OF NURSING
5.1 INTRODUCTION
The Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Science (MUHAS) pioneered the
development of nursing degree programmes in the country even before the inception of
MUCHS in 1991. The simultaneous growth of the University and the School of Nursing
(SON) marks the growth of the Nursing profession in the country and without doubt, it
has been highly successful. This is in keeping with the vision of the School to become a
centre of excellence in nursing education, service provision, research and consultancy.
By this vision, the SON has performed its role as the premier provider of nursing
professionals who now hold leading positions in both governmental and non-
governmental organizations, and the school also provides the majority of teachers for
other Schools of Nursing in the various Universities in the country.
The SON gives students opportunity for professional growth that has abundant benefits,
many of which are unexplored. At present, nurses have an extended role in health
services and the various programmes that we offer provides an opportunity to unique
prospects in career development.
We offer undergraduate programmes in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN), and

a Bachelor of Science in Midwifery. Moreover we have made these courses available for
both direct entrants and post registered nurses who want to advance their careers.
5.2 UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMMES

5.2.1 BSc Nursing Degree Programme
This is an eight semester (four years) competency based programme leading to the
Bachelor of Science in nursing degree of this University, followed by a one year
internship only for the direct entrants at an approved hospital..

CHAPTER SIX: SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH AND SOCIAL SCIENCES
6.1 INTRODUCTION
The School of Public Health and Social Sciences (SPHSS) is one of five schools within
Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences (MUHAS). The School came into being
after the amalgamation of the former Institute of Public Health, the Institute of Development
Studies and the Institute of Primary Health Care and Continuing Education. The Institute of
Public Health however dates back to July 1991 when it was established after the then faculty
of medicine was upgraded into a college. Currently the SPHSS has six departments:
Behavioural Sciences; Community Health; Development Studies; Epidemiology and
Biostatistics; Parasitology and Medical Entomology; and Environmental and Occupational
Health.
The vision of the Muhimbili School of Public Health and Social Sciences is to become a
centre of excellence in the field of Public Health both at home in Tanzania, East Africa, and
beyond. The mission of SPHSS is to provide quality teaching, research, consultancy and
public health services to the people of Tanzania and beyond using public health principles.
All these elements also aim at addressing the core functions of the University: training of
human resources for health in both formal and continuing education as well as using
professional development approaches; conducting research relevant to solving community
health problems; and providing technical assistance in various public health disciplines to
partners, collaborators, ministries and implementers of public health interventions. The
School realizes that collaborative work with various stakeholders and partners is fundamental
to achieving these noble objectives.
The School has more than 47 members of staff24 of these having acquired PhDs from various
world class Universities across the world thus bringing home a wealth of skills, experience
and competences to share with stakeholders especially students. The School has a wealth of
experience in conducting research and community service activities within Tanzania and
beyond and collaborates with a number of partner Universities, Governments, and Research
Institutions and not least the communities we serve.
The school members of academic staff teach across the University in cross cutting subjects,
and the School is host to one undergraduate and eleven postgraduate programmes with a total
of 71 undergraduate students.
