(General) Regulations, GN. No. 226 of 2013, coordinates admission of students into Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) within and outside the country. On this basis, it is necessary to ensure that the quality of higher education is constantly improved at all levels including qualifications of students admitted into Universities’ Postgraduate programmes. The procedures for admission of students to Postgraduate programmes as spelt out under Regulation 36 of the Universities (General Regulations) G.N. No. 226 of 2013 requires every applicant for Postgraduate studies to apply for admission into the programme to the University of his/her choice using the prescribed procedures. In line with the cited Regulation, Standard 4.9 of the Standards and Guidelines for University Education in Tanzania, 2019 outlines the requirements for admission into Postgraduate programmes in Tanzania as well as the admission procedure that allows Universities to receive and process applications, select and admit students into their institutions through their existing authorities. The standard directs further that all Universities admitting Postgraduate students shall submit lists of all applicants admitted into the various programmes to the Commission for verification and endorsement. To facilitate the admission process, this document has been prepared as a tool to guide Universities and the applicants on the admission procedure and to enable TCU on the other hand to regulate the admission process. This Guidebook contains information on Postgraduate programmes approved to admit students in 2021/2022 Admission Cycle including; the minimum entry requirements, programme admission capacities and duration of each programme. Each applicant is strongly advised to carefully read and understand the procedure and programme admission requirements before lodging his/her application to the respective institutions.
