TCU : BACHELORS DEGREE ADMISSIONS ALMANAC FOR 2026/2027 ADMISSION
The Tanzania Commission for Universities (TCU) is a government agency which was established on the 1st July 2005, under the Universities Act, Cap. 346 R.E 2023 with a legal mandate to recognise, register and accredit universities in Tanzania.
It also regulates local or foreign university-level programmes, coordinates the proper functioning of universities and ensures a harmonised higher education system in the country.
To address this, the government created a unified and harmonised higher education system under the TCU. To ensure such a system does not compromise institutional peculiarities and autonomy, each university is vested with the legal right to operate under its charter.
FUNCTIONS OF TCU
The TCU implements the National Education Policy through its functions which can be clustered into three major areas:
Regulatory Function: Ensures quality assurance by evaluating universities, programmes, and systems. Validates programmes, accredits institutions, and evaluates university awards for use in Tanzania.
Advisory Function: Advises the government and public on university education, policy formulation, and international higher education issues.
Supportive Function: Coordinates university operations, students’ admissions, and provides training in areas like quality assurance, leadership, entrepreneurship, and resource mobilization.
