Muslim University of Morogoro Admission 2020 – 2021

Welcome to Mum

We praise Allah, Glorified be He, Who commanded us to seek knowledge for His sake. It is useful for every Muslim male and female of every generation to learn this knowledge and exert themselves to the utmost in order to understand and apply it in the context of their society and its particular needs. May the blessings and peace of Allah be upon our teacher, Muhammad, Allah’s Servant and Messenger, who ordered every Muslim to seek knowledge as instructed by Allah.

It is therefore evident that acquisition and advancement of frontiers of knowledge in Islam are obligatory task prescribed to all Muslims, men and women. The establishment of the Muslim University of Morogoro (MUM) must be interpreted within that context let alone the fact that Muslim community in Tanzania is lagging behind in accessing university education. The establishment of MUM is not only an investment which is responding to demand of Muslim community for expanding higher education,  but also fulfilling religious obligation as assigned to us by Allah and His Messenger, Prophet Muhammad.

The Muslim University of Morogoro was established on 23^rd October 2004 in response to the increased demand for higher education in Tanzania. The University is recognized by the Tanzania Commission for Universities (TCU) as a private Chartered University. Its Charter was signed by H.E. Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete, the President of the fourth phase government of the United Republic of Tanzania under the University Act, (2005), Cap. 346 made under Section 25 (2) of the Law. MUM has been enjoying recognition within the national and regional academic fraternity by getting admission into the Tanzania Association of Private Universities (TAPU) and the Inter-Universities Council for East Africa (IUCEA).
