VICE CHANCELLOR MESSAGE

It gives me immense pleasure to lead the Hubert Kairuki Memorial University so that together we can continue the ambitious strategy of training competent human capital for our country, Tanzania who can effectively address the challenges and opportunities of the emerging and re-emerging health issues to benefit our communities and the region at large.

As the first accredited higher learning institution offering health sciences programs in the country, the University popularly known as HKMU has a relatively strong global linkages in teaching both undergraduate and postgraduate students; advancing knowledge through relevant research and engagement with national and international partners. Our academic programs impart skills needed for addressing national, regional and global challenges; and our campus blends highly supportive digital and didactic teaching platforms that support student-centred and problem-solving learning experience. As evidenced by our growing enrolments, the courses which the University offers are in great demand by students here at home. It is our resolve to grow our offer into other disciplines and have overt presence in the international space.

Our graduates are smart, collaborative and highly ranked in service provision and entrepreneurial. We give our students opportunities to develop a global mindset through our partnerships with universities and organisations around the world.

On behalf of the Hubert Kairuki memorial University, no matter where you are in Tanzania, East Africa, SADC region or the world; seek an academic, research or service partnership, I invite you to collaborate with us. I believe there is a lot we can do, so let us explore what we can achieve together.
