ST. AUGUSTINE UNIVERSITY OF TANZANIA

for International Students

in B.A. in Mass Communication

Congratulations on your selection for the incoming 1998 class at St. Augustine University of Tanzania (SAUT). You're in for a rare treat. This new University, which opens with your class, offers the challenge of strong academic and professional programmes in a scholarly atmosphere, while preserving at the same time the spirit of community and personal concern that always characterized the Nyegezi Social Training Institute (1960-98). You'll find your fellow students coming from many different countries, particularly those of East and Central Africa: Kenya, Uganda, Zambia, Sudan, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Malawi and Burundi, as well as Tanzania. SAUT admits students of all religious backgrounds.

LOCATION

St. Augustine University extends over 600 acres on two campuses in the Nyegezi-Malimbe area 10.5 km south of Mwanza municipality. Lying 3-4 km off the main Mwanza-Shinyanga road, near the shores of Lake Victoria, the University is a half-hour's ride from Mwanza by car or bus. As part of Tanzania's northern highlands (1140m above sea level), the area to the east of Lake Victoria is noted for its temperate climate. Mwanza can be reached from other parts of Tanzania and East Africa by train, air, ferry and highway.

STUDENT LIFE

Living on campus, you'll enjoy taking your meals in the company of your fellow students in one of the SAUT

dining halls, have ready access to classes and the library, the chapels, dispensary, offices, computer centre and studios, playing fields and on-campus activities. There's regular public bus service into Mwanza, however, so you'll always be in touch with the vigorous life of the city and the surrounding area.
