Introduction

Jordan University College was formally known as Salvatorian Institute of Philosophy and Theology that was previously affiliated to the Pontifical Urbaniana University in Italy. The name of the Institution was changed last year after it became a Constituent College of St. Augustine University of Tanzania. However, the Institution operates since 1993.

Location

The University College is very close to "Nane nane farmers' grounds". If one comes from Dar es Salaam high way can easily reach us by dropping at small bus stop commonly known by all bus drivers as "Makapuchini" and there you will see the buildings on your left-hand side surrounded by good and well organized trees.

Also if one is coming from Msamvu main bus stand, as you reach at nane nane farmers grounds approaching the Makapuchini bus stop you will see on your right some buildings with chocolate color and there is the place. However, the place for you to drop in order to reach the University College is the same as whether you come from Dar es Salaam or Morogoro town
