Background Information Mwenge Catholic University (MWECAU) was established in 2005 and is the successor to St. Joseph Teachers College, which opened to Diploma in Education courses in July 2001. The first students graduated in May 2003. Construction work started in 1995 with financial assistance from MISEREOR, an aid organization under the auspices of the Bishops‟ Conference of Germany. The University is owned by the Catholic Church but has an open access equal opportunities policy for both staff and students. The university was opened in response to Government requests for private organisations to become involved in secondary and higher education.

When St. Joseph‟s Teachers College opened, it prepared students for the National Diploma in Education, a two year course, which qualifies graduates to teach in secondary Schools. The College specialised in teaching Science and Mathematics methods courses, but in July 2003 English teaching methods was added.

As the part of its development in 2005 the St. Joseph teachers college transformed into a Constituent College of St. Augustine University of Tanzania (SAUT) under the name of Mwenge University College of Education (MWUCE) up to September 2014 when it was granted a fully fledged University status.

MWECAU offers teacher training courses at degree level, Postgraduate, Masters and PhD, while also diversifying into other areas of study including Sociology and Social Work, Geography and Environmental Studies as well as Philosophy and Ethics and Mathematics and Statistics. MWECAU also has programmes in Business Studies (MBA, Degree, Diploma and certificates), Computer Science, Laws, as well as Journalism and Media Studies at Certificate and Diploma levels MWECAU will

continue to expand its programmes to embrace other academic areas in accordance to the needs of our contemporary society. Location

MWECAU extends over 180 acres on the Mwenge campus 10 kilometres north of Moshi Town, on the lower slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro. The Campus is about 10 minutes drive from Moshi Town and can also be reached by bus to Ushirika wa Neema. As part of Kilimanjaro region, the University lies at 1000 metres above sea level and enjoys a moderate climate. Moshi can be reached from other parts of Tanzania, East Africa and from overseas by road and air respectively. Kilimanjaro International Airport lies 36Kms west of the campus. Moshi town is served by buses from all parts of Tanzania as well as Kenya and Uganda.

Mission Statement, Aims and Values

MWECAU, a secular and private institution of higher learning, is owned and managed by the Catholic Church. It is dedicated to St. Joseph the Worker, with the motto „„Lux Mundi‟‟ in Kiswahili „„Mwanga wa Dunia‟‟ and in English “Light of the World”.

Mission Statement

Inspired by, and loyal to, the Gospel message and to Catholic tradition and social teachings, MWECAU will educate her students to become:

1. Competent professionals 2. Socially responsible citizens 3. Committed to working for the benefit of the youth of

Tanzania and beyond

Page 19: Prospectus 2015 - 2016 · MWECAU PROSPECTUS 2015-2016 vi THE VICE CHANCELLOR‟S WELCOMING MESSAGE Welcome to Mwenge Catholic University (MWECAU). A University that gives you the

MWECAU PROSPECTUS 2015-2016

xviii

The University community will achieve these aims by:

Providing models of professional excellence, moral integrity and transparency;

Establishing a centre of learning and research, to enable students and staff to become critical thinkers and independent life- long learners;

Providing a holistic approach to learning and a student -centred approach to their academic, social and moral development;

Providing equal opportunities and open enrolment of students regardless of gender, race, nationality or religious beliefs.

Process to achieve the aims

MWECAU has developed a whole – curriculum approach to achieving its aims. The approach can be summarised under five main aspects of professional training development: 1. Sharpen students‟ critical thinking capability and deepen

and widen their grasp of their professions. 2. The need to develop student confidence and ability to use

their knowledge and skills in the provision of quality service to the society they serve.

3. The need to train the student–teacher in a wide range of active, participatory teaching and learning methodologies in order to stimulate the development of more independent learning skills and higher order cognitive skills in their pupils.

4. Availability of clear social, professional, moral and ethical framework in which to develop practical training that will prepare the students to join the world of force.

5. Develop a mental attitude that will lead students to embrace committed spirit for the service they will render.

Thus MWECAU aims at producing graduates with competent skills, attitude, knowledge and confidence to work for the Tanzanian society, and who are able to integrate modern technology while performing their professional responsibilities. Graduates should be committed to learning and professional development as lifelong processes involving upgrading and learning new skills throughout their career.

Status

MWECAU is an institution of higher learning managed by a Governing Board of trustees under the Catholic Bishops of Tanzania (Tanzania Episcopal Conference). MWECAU is fully registered and has a charter and has been a Constituent College of St. Augustine University of Tanzania (SAUT) under the name of Mwenge University College of Education (MWUCE) up to September 2014 when it was granted a fully fledged University status. MWECAU continues to expand her main responsibilities of teaching, research and community service with commitment and dedication to the people of Tanzania.

Governance and Staff

Day-to-day operations of MWECAU are directed by the Vice Chancellor who works closely with the Deputy Vice Chancellor Academic Affairs and the Deputy Vice Chancellor Planning and Finance, the Deans of Faculties and Directorates.
