Universities Fee Structures in Tanzania 2026/2027
Universities Fee Structures in Tanzania 2026/2027 are the official schedules issued by individual universities showing the tuition fees and all other mandatory charges that students must pay during the 2026/2027 academic year.
Each university determines its own fees in accordance with regulations issued by the Tanzania Commission for Universities (TCU), and fees vary depending on the programme, level of study, sponsorship status, and year of study.
Factors that affect university fees
Fees differ according to:
- Public or private university
- Certificate, Diploma, Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD programme
- Science, engineering, medicine, education, business, law, or arts programmes
- Government-sponsored or privately sponsored students
- First-year versus continuing students
Where to obtain official fee structures
Students should download the latest fee schedules directly from the official university websites or through the Tanzania Commission for Universities (TCU), which oversees university admissions and quality assurance. The 2026/2027 TCU admission guidebooks also remind universities to collect the annual TCU Quality Assurance Fee from every enrolled student.
