PRINCIPAL’S WELCOMING MESSAGE

Welcome to Archbishop Mihayo University College of Tabora (AMUCTA), a Constituent

College of St Augustine University of Tanzania (SAUT). AMUCTA is a remarkable higher

learning institution where hunger for knowledge, drive for excellence and concern for making a

difference in the community and in the world at large are a focus.

From the beginning, AMUCTA maintains the intention for its launching which is in line with the

goal of the Catholic Bishops of Tanzania to ensure that we have a training that would impart

academic and professional skills and infuse values of holistic development of a person and

respect for human dignity. In recognition of this vision, AMUCTA continues to uphold the

SAUT motto of “Building the City of God” and cherish our own motto “Seeking Wisdom in

Truth.”

AMUCTA continues to grow with a more articulated vision and plan for the role of teaching,

research, learning and consultancy, measurable progress in increasing the diversity of its

programmes and greater engagement with the community around. It has recruited a pool of

qualified academic and administrative staff from within and outside the country. The University

College is committed to enrich our students and staff academically and socially. This includes

the provision of learning environment that makes the students appreciate the University as an

exciting higher learning institution.

At the beginning of this new academic year, I am more certain than ever of the educational

quality and distinctiveness that AMUCTA envisages to offer. To the academic and

administrative staff, I offer my thanks for your cooperation and personal contribution in making

AMUCTA the best institution conducive for learning. What a grace it is for me to share this

work with you and for all of us to be a part of the AMUCTA family. To current students and

prospective students, I wish you good luck in your studies and with all that a new academic year

and university life entails. Always remember - Seeking Wisdom in Truth (Indagare Sapientiam in

Veritate), the motto of our University College.

May God’s blessings be with you and with AMUCTA University College

GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 Background

Archbishop Mihayo University College of Tabora (AMUCTA), a Constituent College of St

Augustine University of Tanzania (SAUT), officially opened on 5th November 2010 after

obtaining a Certificate of Provisional Registration (CPR) by Tanzania Commission for

Universities (TCU) on November 3rd 2010. The intention for launching the University College

was in line with the goal of the Catholic Bishops of Tanzania to ensure that we have a training

that would impart academic and professional skills and infuse values of civic and social learning

to our students. In implementing its envisioned ideal, SAUT found it important to establish this

university college for the purpose of shedding light and contributing to higher education. This

takes cognisance of the national development vision 2025, which mainly focuses on high quality

of life, peace, stability and unity, good governance, a well-educated and learning society, a

competitive economy capable of producing sustainable growth and shared benefits.

The rationale of the establishment of AMUCTA in Tabora region was to maintain the vision of

the Catholic church of Tanzania to bring higher education services close to the people as it has

been its tradition globally, regionally and locally. In this view, Tabora was one of the targets and

hence AMUCTA was established.

The main emphasis in curriculum orientation for this university college include: secular

education and training programmes, research relevant to national research agenda and

consultancy and community services.

1.2 Location

The Archbishop Mihayo University College of Tabora (AMUCTA) is located at Viziwi (Deaf

Mute Institute) along Lumumba Street in Tabora Municipality. The university college is very

close to the bus stand, the Railway Station, and the Tabora Airport.

1.3 AMUCTA Vision

To be a highly regarded institution in offering accessible, equitable and harmonised university

education focused on ethical values and holistic formation of a human being.

6

1.4 AMUCTA Mission

AMUCTA strives to provide a high quality education, research, and public service, promote the

pursuit and defence of truth with honesty and transparency, and service with competence and

dedication. It also strives to develop a sense of caring for personal and community property, and

foster an ethical and service–oriented approach in its academic and professional training.
