Students Welfare
Religious Life
Tanzania is a secular state. Therefore, students have freedom of religious worship as long as it is intended to promote students’ welfare and encourage positive religious values, without disrupting other university core functions. Moreover, the activities should not cause noise pollution to other students and the University community at large. Permission and venue for such activities should be sought from the Dean of Students.
Cafeteria Services
Are available on payment to both staff and students of the university premises. Number of canteens and restaurants are also available in close proximity.
Sports and Recreation
The Head of Students’ Welfare shall facilitate the formation of different students’ sports teams such as netball, football, volleyball and others.
Accommodation
The university has made arrangements with external lodging providers (privately owned hostels and residences) in the institution’s immediate vicinity.
Please read the attached list of privately owned hostels and residences for information on location, fees, and communication.
Students should, however, visit the hostels before making any reservations. The Dean of Students’ Office will help you with any housing issues you may have.
Medical and Hospital Services
The University provides emergency and first aid services to guarantee the health of its students. In addition, there are health centers near the University that provide excellent health care.
Students at MzU are now registered in a medical insurance program (with NHIF) before the start of the academic year in order to have easier access to medical services.
This is made possible through the Dean of Students’ office. Students having private health insurance coverage should bring their cards with them and provide evidence of coverage to the Dean.
