It started with only three lecturers, all of whom were foreigners. Now the Department is one of the largest at the University having hosted the Philosophy Unit, adding 6 more members to its 30 strong academic members of staff. All staff are now Tanzanian, except one. Occasionally there are foreign scholars attached to the Department on different linkage arrangements.
