(01) Master of Science in Epidemiology Positions at Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences: The Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences (MUHAS) started as the Dar es Salaam medical school in 1963. The school then transformed into the faculty of medicine of the university of Dar es Salaam, which in 1991 was upgraded and became a college—the Muhimbili University College of Health Sciences (MUCHS).
In 1996, the Faculty of Medicine that was upgraded to a constituent college of the University of Dar es Salaam, with the aim of nurturing it to a full-fledged university later on, was merged with the Muhimbili hospital to create the Muhimbili Medical Centre (MMC).
Over the years, MUCHS made significant achievements in terms of increased student enrollment and the development of several new academic programs.
The Parliament Act No 9 of 1991 that established MUCHS was repealed in 2005 through the Universities Act No. 7 of 2005. Subsequently, in 2007, Article 1 of the Charter of Incorporation established MUHAS, in line with the Universities Act No. 7 of 2005.
The objectives of the university are the advancement of knowledge, the diffusion and extension of technology and learning, the provision of higher education and research, and, so far as is consistent with those objectives, the nurturing of the intellectual, aesthetic, social, and moral growth of the students at the university.
MUHAS has one campus, Muhimbili Campus, situated in Ilala Municipality, in Upanga along United Nations Road. MUHAS has other facilities, including the Bagamoyo Teaching Unit in Bagamoyo district.
This facility was established for the purpose of training students during field studies. The unit has a total area of 46,085.7 square meters, which has been developed by the construction of residential houses, classrooms, laboratories, hostels, and canteens.
