Reading these figures

“Minimum points” is the guidebook's Minimum Institutional Admission Points: the lowest A-level points an applicant needs to be considered for the programme — an eligibility floor, not the score of the last student admitted. Each institution then selects among eligible applicants, on competition for its places; no admitted scores are published. Points come from the grades of the principal passes the programme counts (A = 5, B = 4, C = 3, D = 2, E = 1, S = 0.5; A-levels taken in 2014 and 2015 used a different scale). Each programme also names the subjects that count, which we don't reproduce — read them in TCU's guidebook.

Places are the admission capacity the guidebook lists for holders of secondary-school (Form Six) qualifications. Holders of a diploma apply under a separate guidebook with its own capacities, which can differ for the same programme, so these are not a programme's total intake. Totals are our sums.

TCU's publications carry no tuition fees: each institution sets its own and publishes them itself. The guidebook mentions only TCU's quality assurance fee of TSh 20,000 for every student enrolled at a university institution.
