University Background
The idea to establish and operate a University by the Anglican Church of Tanzania started at the Synod Meeting held in 1999. The Archbishop Donald Mtetemela emphasized the importance of establishing the Anglican Church University to provide higher education in the different aspects of education in Tanzania that will respond to the country’s needs of eradicating extreme poverty, hunger and disease and thus provide improved life expectancy to its people.
The University is located in the Kikuyu area, south western part of Dodoma about 1.5km from the town centre on Mtera-Iringa highway. Luck enough, the University is at the heart of Tanzania, where also the headquarters of the Anglican Church of Tanzania are found. Dodoma is the capital city of Tanzania and the seat of the Parliament of the United Republic of Tanzania.
