POSTGRADUATE PROGRAMMES AND ADMISSION

PROCEDURES

1.1 Introduction
DPGS was established in 1981 as one of the departments under the
office of the Chief Academic Officer (CACO). The directorate was,
made up of three sections, namely, Staff Development (SD), Higher
Degrees Office (HDO) and Links and Projects (L & P). In view of
the rapid growth of the postgraduate programmes and students, it was
transformed to an effective graduate training institution in 2006 which
was latter reverted again to DPGS so as to match the currently existing
University of Dar es Salaam Organizational Structure.
The Directorate of Postgraduate Studies (DPGS) is a main support and
connection office for postgraduate students of the University of
Dar es Salaam located on Five Different campuses/constituent Colleges,
namely Mwalimu JK Nyerere campus popularly known as Mlimani main
campus (JKN campus), Dar es Salaam University College of Education
(DUCE), Mkwawa University College of Education (MUCE), Mbeya
College of Health and Allied Sciences (MCHAS) and Institute of Marine
Science (IMS). DPGS provides professional support services to all
(including international) postgraduate students during the postgraduate
lifecycle (from application to graduation). The DPGS have prepared
this publication in order to give you an overview of some important
issues in relating to the feasibilities of postgraduate studies application
procedures at the University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM). The guide
will also help you prepare all required information and documents for
application, registration, and possibilities of changing programmes/
campuses and delivery modes.
