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
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.
MWECAU PROSPECTUS 2015-2016
xix
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.

12.3. Health Services
Admission to MWECAU is conditional upon receipt of a satisfactory medical report. Each student is required to ensure they are in a healthy physical and mental condition to follow through their studies. Students take responsibility for any medical examination fee that may be required in the process.
The Dispensary has an infirmary staffed by a qualified nurse where minor illness and ailment can be treated. The centre is located within the University„s main campus and it provides medical services to University Students and staff members and their families. Treatment which is provided by the medical centre is for ordinary and short time diseases only.
All cases which cannot be managed at the centre are normally referred to Kibosho Hospital or St. Joseph Hospital in Soweto and from there to KCMC if necessary.

Where a student falls sick in his/her residence/hostel and is not able to walk to the health centre, the right thing to do is to contact the Dean of students or the nurse for further action.
Students who fall sick shortly before or during the examinations are advised to report immediately to relevant authorities in their respective departments and to the medical centre for treatment and further directives.
Treatment outside the medical centre must have prior permission of the nurse otherwise the university will not be responsible for costs incurred. Likewise, treatment during vacations is the student‟s own responsibility and the University is not responsible for refund of any medical costs incurred by the students during holidays.
Students are advised to observe their personal hygiene and environmental sanitation since these are key preventive strategies for many diseases. Also for a healthy body and mind, a balanced diet and physical exercises are recommended.
12.4. Sports and Recreation MWECAU has facilities for sports and recreation allowing
students to participate in indoor and outdoor games. With
the assistance of the Dean of Students, the students‟
Sports Committee arranges and conducts sports
programmes and participation in outside competitions.
Students are responsible for organising their own
sporting and recreational times.

These limited rooms in our hostels are available on application before the beginning of the academic year/ Semester. Application letters should be sent to the office of the Dean of Students at the end of each academic year.

This accommodation fee should be paid through the bank and the bank pay in slip be presented to the Cashier before a room key is issued.
Fees paid will not be refunded if a student withdraws or leaves the hostels without permission of the administration. However if the student receives a permission to leave the hostels within the first four weeks from the beginning of the year or semester, fifty percent of the accommodation fee may be refunded.
