St. Augustine University of Tanzania (SAUT) was established in 1998. It
is the successor of the Nyegezi Social Training Institute (NSTI)
founded in 1960 by the Catholic White Fathers (currently known as the
Missionaries of Africa). This was under the initiative of Bishop Joseph
Blomjous of the Mwanza Diocese.
The University extends to over 600 acres in the Nyegezi- Malimbe area
10 km south of Mwanza City. It lies 4 km off the Mwanza- Shinyanga road
on the shores of Lake Victoria. As part of Tanzania’s central highlands
(1140 m above the sea level), the area to the south of Lake Victoria is
noted for its moderate temperatures. Mwanza can be reached from other
parts of Tanzania and East Africa by train, air, ferry and highways.

TCU Background and Core Functions: The
Tanzania Commission for Universities (TCU) is a body corporate
established on the 1st July 2005, under the Universities Act 2005
(Chapter 346 of the Laws of Tanzania) with mandate to recognise,
approve, register and accredit Universities operating in Tanzania, and
local or foreign University level programmes being offered by registered
higher education institutions. It also coordinates the proper
functioning of all university institutions in Tanzania so as to foster a
harmonised higher education system in the country.
The Tanzania
Commission for Universities succeeded the former Higher Education
Accreditation Council (HEAC) which was established in 1995 under the
Education Act 1995 with a legal mandate to regulate the establishment
and subsequent accreditation of private university institutions in the
country. Being limited only to private universities, such mandate was
considered unfavourable for the promotion of a viable public-private
partnership in higher education as stipulated in the National Higher
Education Policy of 1999.
