The TGCL welcomes you

The TGCL offers aspiring lawyers and law students a structured LLM and PhD study programme with the goal of qualifying them for leading positions in East Africa. The programme is conducted at the University of Dar es Salaam School of Law (Formerly Faculty of Law), in close cooperation with the Institute of African Studies and the Faculty of Law, Business Administration and Economics, University of Bayreuth. TGCL is one of five centres established in Africa under the name “African Excellence – Fachzentren zur Eliteförderung”, funded by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and the German Foreign Office.

The establishment of centres of excellence for the training of future officials and managers in Africa is a pillar of the DAAD’s and the German Foreign Office’s new programme for Africa. Its goal is to further raise the quality and relevance of education in selected fields at African universities, to expand research capacities and to promote networking among African universities, research institutions and German partners. In this process, the training of future leaders in different fields of society plays a special role. The new centres are intended to provide students with up-to-date training corresponding to international standards of quality. At the same time, the centres will create an environment that is conducive to research and offers favourable conditions for international cooperation. The aim is for each centre to make its own contribution to the region and beyond. The centres are to be networked with one another and will work jointly on interdisciplinary issues in research, teaching and management.

The other centres grouped together with TGCL under the “African Excellence – Fachzentren zur Eliteförderung” programme are: the South African-German Centre for Development Research and Criminal Justice in Cape Town; the Namibian-German Centre for Logistics in Windhoek; the Ghanaian-German Centre for Development Studies and Health Research in Legon; and the Congolese-German Centre for Microfinance in Kinshasa.
