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
