PRINCIPAL’S WELCOMING MESSAGE
Welcome to Archbishop Mihayo University College of Tabora (AMUCTA), a Constituent
College of St Augustine University of Tanzania (SAUT). AMUCTA is a remarkable higher
learning institution where hunger for knowledge, drive for excellence and concern for making a
difference in the community and in the world at large are a focus.
From the beginning, AMUCTA maintains the intention for its launching which is in line with the
goal of the Catholic Bishops of Tanzania to ensure that we have a training that would impart
academic and professional skills and infuse values of holistic development of a person and
respect for human dignity. In recognition of this vision, AMUCTA continues to uphold the
SAUT motto of “Building the City of God” and cherish our own motto “Seeking Wisdom in
Truth.”
AMUCTA continues to grow with a more articulated vision and plan for the role of teaching,
research, learning and consultancy, measurable progress in increasing the diversity of its
programmes and greater engagement with the community around. It has recruited a pool of
qualified academic and administrative staff from within and outside the country. The University
College is committed to enrich our students and staff academically and socially. This includes
the provision of learning environment that makes the students appreciate the University as an
exciting higher learning institution.
At the beginning of this new academic year, I am more certain than ever of the educational
quality and distinctiveness that AMUCTA envisages to offer. To the academic and
administrative staff, I offer my thanks for your cooperation and personal contribution in making
AMUCTA the best institution conducive for learning. What a grace it is for me to share this
work with you and for all of us to be a part of the AMUCTA family. To current students and
prospective students, I wish you good luck in your studies and with all that a new academic year
and university life entails. Always remember - Seeking Wisdom in Truth (Indagare Sapientiam in
Veritate), the motto of our University College.
May God’s blessings be with you and with AMUCTA University College
Rev. Fr Juvenalis Asantemungu (PhD)

GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 Background
Archbishop Mihayo University College of Tabora (AMUCTA), a Constituent College of St
Augustine University of Tanzania (SAUT), officially opened on 5th November 2010 after
obtaining a Certificate of Provisional Registration (CPR) by Tanzania Commission for
Universities (TCU) on November 3rd 2010. The intention for launching the University College
was in line with the goal of the Catholic Bishops of Tanzania to ensure that we have a training
that would impart academic and professional skills and infuse values of civic and social learning
to our students. In implementing its envisioned ideal, SAUT found it important to establish this
university college for the purpose of shedding light and contributing to higher education. This
takes cognisance of the national development vision 2025, which mainly focuses on high quality
of life, peace, stability and unity, good governance, a well-educated and learning society, a
competitive economy capable of producing sustainable growth and shared benefits.
The rationale of the establishment of AMUCTA in Tabora region was to maintain the vision of
the Catholic church of Tanzania to bring higher education services close to the people as it has
been its tradition globally, regionally and locally. In this view, Tabora was one of the targets and
hence AMUCTA was established.
The main emphasis in curriculum orientation for this university college include: secular
education and training programmes, research relevant to national research agenda and
consultancy and community services.
1.2 Location
The Archbishop Mihayo University College of Tabora (AMUCTA) is located at Viziwi (Deaf
Mute Institute) along Lumumba Street in Tabora Municipality. The university college is very
close to the bus stand, the Railway Station, and the Tabora Airport.
1.3 AMUCTA Vision
To be a highly regarded institution in offering accessible, equitable and harmonised university
education focused on ethical values and holistic formation of a human being.

1.4 AMUCTA Mission
AMUCTA strives to provide a high quality education, research, and public service, promote the
pursuit and defence of truth with honesty and transparency, and service with competence and
dedication. It also strives to develop a sense of caring for personal and community property, and
foster an ethical and service–oriented approach in its academic and professional training.
