QUALITY ASSURANCE UNIT
The Quality Assurance Unit
The Quality Assurance Unit was established as a unit in 2013 and has grown into a full directorate under the office of the Vice Chancellor. This positioning has enabled the directorate to work closely with both Deputy Vice Chancellors for Academic, Research and Publications, and for Planning, Finance and Administration, to ensure ‘fit for purpose’ of all University activities.
The directorate continued to work with the Tanzania Commission for Universities (TCU), the Inter-University Council of East Africa (IUCEA) and other Universities inside and outside the country to learn best practices in the provision of higher education. Its main priority has been quality assurance in teaching and learning but has also gradually moved to include research and public service in its portfolio in light of completion of the MUHAS Academic Medical Centre (MAMC) at Mloganzila
