UDSM campus
The city campus of UDSM provides students with countless opportunities for work and recreation — from sitting in a coffee shop with a laptop to internships at large companies. Dar es Salaam has a well developed entertainment infrastructure, but the rhythm of the big city can be distracting for some students. University students have access to the library. It contains a collection of scientific papers, textbooks and fiction. UDSM regularly accepts students for international exchange programs, providing both local and international students with the opportunity to come into contact with different cultures and gain unique experience.
There are several options to stay in the country after graduation. One of them is to get an offer from an employer and apply for a work visa. Read more about this on the embassy website. Look for more immigration options in our article.
