• Applicants who do not qualify under the first two options may register for Foundation Courses (OFC) offered by The Open University of Tanzania. Those who pass examinations set at the end of the course will be eligible for registration for this degree programme, if they have passed Physics and Mathematics.

Bachelor of Science (Energy Resources) is designed to prepare students for their professional work in Physics in industry, energy sector and physical environment. The Programme contributes to the Faculty’s aim of training Scientists in Energy resources. It also contributes to the University’s aim to produce Scientists and Technologists in the energy sector. The programme will provide knowledge and understanding of the physical aspects of nature in relation to dynamics and energy relationships and its dynamics with Mathematics to model the processes as well as practical experience in Energy Resources. The programme will also train students in problem solving and entrepreneurship in the related field.

Details of programme structure, showing courses codes, course names and their respective units are given below. It is important to note that all courses that appear as core courses are mandatory and not optional; hence students are supposed to take all core courses in this programme.

After completing this programme the student should be able to work as a technologist in industry, do research in Energy Resources and related disciplines:

The Bachelor of Science with Education programme follows general OUT assessment procedure.

Candidates shall be assessed in the modules for which they have enrolled for each year of study. Within each module candidates shall be assessed by a combination of Main timed test (30%) and annual examination (70%). The pass mark shall be 40 for each assessment element and for the module overall.

The course assessment also includes written reports of practical work with an equivalent weight of 2 units. These are marked out 100% for each module, in which case the scores will be awarded by the teacher responsible for the course and / or practical session. However the overall grade will be determined by the average of the sub grades at each level of study. Therefore the final overall grade will be computed at level three after completing all the practical sessions of all the modules studied.

The coursework also includes written report of project which is done at level three when a student has completed at least two-thirds of the total number of units required for graduation.
