MESSAGE FROM THE VICE CHANCELLOR
Abdulrahman Al-Sumait University (SUMAIT) was established in 2014
and recognized by the Tanzania Commission of Universities (TCU)
during its 63rd meeting held on 27th March 2014 as a private University.
The university is owned by a Kuwait-based non-governmental
organization known as Direct Aid Society. The university evolved from
the former University College of Education- Zanzibar (UCEZ)
established in 1998 as an affiliate college of the Khartoum based
International University of Africa (IUA).
The university is proud to have her first Chancellor, His Excellency Dr.
Amani Abeid Karume, the Sixth President of Zanzibar whose deep
interest in the well-being of our nation has inspired us towards the
achievement our Vision and Mission.
The university has well-structured degree, diploma and certificate
programs taught by qualified national and international faculty in all fields
of specializations. The quiet learning environment on the outskirts of
Zanzibar that SUMAIT occupies available facilities in the library,
laboratories, lecture rooms and recreational services are conducive
enough to ensure students are comfortable and can finish their studies
successfully.
Abdulrahman Al-Sumait University has two faculties: Faculty of
Sciences and Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. In addition, it has two
centers: Center for Research and Postgraduate Studies (CRPS) and
Center for Professional and Continuing Education (CPaCE). Together
they offer Master and Bachelor degrees alongside with diploma and
certificates. The courses offered include Sharia and Islamic
Jurisprudence, Counseling Psychology, Natural Sciences, Mathematics
and computers sciences, office administration and Information
Technology
I am confident that the outstanding faculty of SUMAIT will inspire and
motivate our students to work harder and engage in rigorous academic
works reflecting a sense of passionate commitment to excellence.
I welcome all students who have joined the University recently.
Remember that your stay at the university is a very brief phase of your
lifetimes. Extract maximum benefit from every moment by engaging
constructively. Study smart, and always seek to enrich your community
