Abdulrahman Al-Sumait University (SUMAIT University) Profile and Admissions.
SUMAIT Profile
Abdulrahman Al-Sumait University (SUMAIT University) is built on the foundation of the former University College of Education Zanzibar (UCEZ), established in 1998 by a Kuwait based charity organization, the Africa Muslims Agency (AMA/Direct Aid) founded in 1981.
Thus, the owner of the University is AMA/Direct Aid and it is a product of its founder, Dr. Abdulrahman Hamoud Al-Sumait (1947- 2013), an accomplished physician, philanthropist, educator, researcher, author, pioneer and AMA founding member from whom the University bears its name.
The University is located at Chukwani on the Islands of Zanzibar in the United Republic of Tanzania, about 5.5 kilometres from the seaport of the Zanzibar Old Stone Town, 2.5 kilometres from Abeid Karume International Airport and just 150 metres away from the West Coast of the Indian Ocean.
The University occupies an area of 120,000 square metres granted by the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar. It is charmed by beautiful green scenery of trees and fragrance of blooming flowers. SUMAIT University is recognized by the Tanzania Commission for Universities (TCU) which approved it as a private University on 14th May 2014 at its 63rd Meeting held on 27th March, 2014.
According to the TCU rules, all registered students prior to the award of University upgrading status continued to graduate at the Khartoum based International University of Africa (IUA). Students who registered during the 2014/2015 academic year will graduate from SUMAIT University beginning 2017.
