Nelson Mandela African Institute of Science and Technology (NM-AIST) is a public university in northern Tanzania based in Arusha City.[1] The Nelson Mandela African Institute of Science and Technology in Arusha (NM AIST-Arusha) is one in a network of Pan-African Institutes of Science and Technology located across the continent. The NM AIST-Arusha, which is accredited by Tanzania Commission for Universities (TCU) is being developed into a research intensive institution for postgraduate and post-docs studies and research in SET. The training in SET, however, incorporates appreciable doses of relevant humanities and business studies ingredients. Life sciences and bio-engineering is being developed to become one of the niche areas of the NM AIST-Arusha, taking advantage of the immense bio-diversity in the region.

Other main thematic areas to be covered by NM AIST-Arusha include Energy, ICT, Mining, Environment and Water.
