What TEAM University does

TEAM University is a private, for-profit higher education institution headquartered in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, founded in 2020 by Zafar Khashimov, Hikmat Abdurakhmanov, Anvar Irchaev, and Laziz Adkhamov. Operating from a single campus on Temur Malik Street, it is positioned as the first entrepreneurial university in Uzbekistan and delivers practice-oriented, internationally validated business education through a flagship academic partnership with London's South Bank University (LSBU), a dual-degree MBA with Kozminski University in Poland (triple crown accreditation: AMBA, EQUIS, AACSB), and a 3+1 pathway with Montpellier Business School, supplemented by Erasmus+, DAAD, and British Council mobility programs.

The product portfolio spans four tiers: a one-year Foundation Course, three BA (Hons) specializations in Entrepreneurship (with International Business, Digital Innovation, and Marketing) each priced at 41,500,000 UZS per year on 3-year terms, a part-time MBA priced at $15,000 total (2-year dual degree), and an Executive Education arm encompassing the newly launched (June 2025) CEO Program "Effective Leader" plus a separate Executive MBA at emba.teamuni.uz. Revenue is subscription-recurring tuition-based, supplemented by corporate sponsorships from partners including Korzinka, Kapital Bank, Uzum, Ipoteka Bank, Universal Bank, and Dodo Pizza that fund scholarships and provide employment pipelines. The go-to-market is sales-led via a direct online admissions portal supplemented by a multi-channel digital presence (website, Instagram, Telegram, LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube) and managed by an International Relations Office.

The institution graduated its first cohort in 2024 and a second cohort in 2025, with active admissions running for 2026. Its customer base spans prospective undergraduate students, working professionals seeking international MBAs, and C-suite executives; the Executive Education alumni network exceeds 130 graduates from 107 companies across Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Russia, and Belarus, indicating a deliberate regional expansion posture across Central Asia and the CIS.
