The University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM) is the oldest and premier public university in Tanzania. It is situated 13 kilometers on the western side of the city of Dar es Salaam, occupying 1,625 acres on the observation hill, famously known as Mlimani in Kiswahili.
It was established on 25th October 1961 as the University College Dar es Salaam (UCD), an affiliate college of the University of London. It was temporarily hosted in the premises belonging to Tanganyika African National Union (TANU) located in Lumumba Street, Dar es Salaam from its establishment up to 1964 when it was moved to the current location at the Hill.
At its inception, it had only one faculty, the Faculty of Law, with 13 students among them one female, Julie Manning.
In 1963, it became a constituent college of the University of East Africa together with Makerere University College in Uganda and Nairobi University College in Kenya. UDSM became a full-fledged university on 1st July 1970 through Act No. 12 of 1970.

The Directorate of Post Graduate Studies (DPGS) formally replaced the School of Graduate Studies (DPGS) in 2009.
The former School was established in 2006, with the main functions as administering and coordinating postgraduate studies at the University of the Dar es Salaam (UDSM).
In the past twenty years the postgraduate students’ population increased from about 100 in 1993/1994 to over 5,000 in 2018/019. During the same period, postgraduate programmes increased from 48 to over 150.
In view of the rapid expansion of postgraduate programmes, coupled with the University restructuring programme, the UDSM Council at its 69th meeting approved the re-establishment of the Directorate of Post Graduate Studies (DPGS) and subsequently de-established the School of graduate Studies (SGS).
The DPGS has taken over all the functions of the SGS but with more responsibilities including providing the requisite environment for postgraduate studies and activities.
Higher Degrees Doctor of Laws (LL.D.), Doctor of Literature (D.Lit.) and Doctor of Science (D.Sc.).
These degrees are retained as higher doctorates to be awarded in accordance with regulations relating to higher doctorates at the University of Dar es Salaam.
