ZUT Delegation Visits IIT Madras Zanzibar Campus

On 15th April 2026, a high-level delegation from the Zambia University College of Technology (ZUT) successfully concluded an official visit to the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras Zanzibar Campus in the United Republic of Tanzania.

This visit marks an important step in strengthening international collaboration and academic partnerships between the two institutions.

The visit began with a guided tour of the IIT Madras Zanzibar campus, giving the ZUT delegation valuable insight into its world-class facilities and advanced learning environment.

This was followed by strategic meetings with key leadership, including the Campus Director, Vice President of Academics, and senior faculty members. Discussions focused on building a strong foundation for long-term collaboration in the following areas:

- Student and Faculty Exchange Programmes to promote cross-cultural learning

- Joint Research Initiatives to address regional technological challenges

- Advanced Degree Pathways, including collaborative Master’s and PhD programmes for ZUT academic staff

A key highlight of the visit was a significant agreement on staff capacity building.

IIT Madras Zanzibar has committed to offering full tuition waivers for ZUT academic staff enrolling in PhD programmes at the campus.

With PhD tuition estimated at USD 12,000 per year, this represents an investment of approximately USD 60,000 per candidate over five years.

This initiative will greatly enhance staff development and strengthen ZUT’s research capacity.

Looking Ahead
Zambia University College of Technology expresses sincere appreciation to the leadership of IIT Madras Zanzibar for their warm hospitality and commitment to academic excellence.

This partnership is expected to play a transformative role in advancing staff development and contributing to the growth of the technological landscape in Zambia.
