Masters by Coursework and Dissertation

The Open University of Tanzania offers its postgraduate degree courses at the most affordable rates. Fees largely depend on the mode of learning. The Masters degree and Postgraduate diploma courses are offered in three types of modes:

Distance Learning Mode (DIS)
Evening class face to face mode (EV)
Executive mode (EX)

In the distance learning modes, students are not required to leave their home or place of work. Learning materials are delivered to the students electronically, and the student is provided with the programme and reading lists that he/she must follow. At the end of the study period, the learner will be examined to see if all learning outcomes have been realized. Examinations and tests are examined in the same mode and at the same locations like undergraduate programmes, although at times, masters students may be examined orally.
