Muslim University of Morogoro (MUM) is a private university in Morogoro, Tanzania, established to provide quality higher education within an Islamic framework. The university was founded in 2004 when President Benjamin Mkapa granted it to the Muslim Development Fund (MDF), an organization chaired by the late Kitwana Kondo, with board members including Ramadhani Dau and Abdulrahman Kinana, the former Vice Chairman of Tanzania’s ruling party. MUM officially began operations in 2005 and has since grown into a leading institution in the country.
The university is located in the Morogoro region, about 200 km from Dar es Salaam, at the surface level of the Uluguru Mountains, near Msamvu Bus Terminal. It is accredited by the Tanzania Commission for Universities (TCU) and the National Council for Technical Education (NACTE) and offers postgraduate, undergraduate, diploma, and certificate programs across its five faculties: Law and Sharia, Arts and Humanities, Business Studies, Science, and Islamic Studies. MUM has a staff of more than 160, comprising both academic and administrative personnel.
