ARDHI UNIVERSITY (ARU)
This university was established under University Act No 7 of 2005, and came into being after the signing of Ardhi University Charter by His Excellency the President of United Republic of Tanzania, on 28th March, 2007. The roots of Ardhi University can be traced back to pre-independence days when a Surveying Training School offering technician certificate courses in land surveying was established in Dar es Salaam.

In 1996 the Ardhi Institute became a constituent college of the University of Dar es Salaam, and ten years later was granted autonomy as Ardhi University.
