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 14 students among them one female, Julie Manning.
