TEAM University is an entrepreneurial university in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.[2] Founded in April 2020 by the decree of the Cabinet of Ministers number 241 from 18 April 2020[3] and granted a license by the State Inspection for Supervision of Quality in Education with number 0007.[4] The university is the first entrepreneurial university in Uzbekistan and it is founded as a private, non-state owned institution.
In 2020 TEAM launched the inaugural admission to its International Foundation Course (level 3 UK NQF), which was validated according to the recommendations of the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) on 29 July 2020. Additionally, TEAM is one of the few Universities in Uzbekistan that offers a winter start for its International Foundation Course.[5]
From 2021 TEAM is planning admission to its degree level programmes (levels 4, 5, 6 UK NQF).
Partner institution
TEAM is partnering with London South Bank University[6] (LSBU) in the UK to validate its programmes. LSBU was chosen as a partner of TEAM after a through consideration of other potential candidates from the UK, and has been selected for its support and outstanding record of entrepreneurial education for which it has been award a title of "Entrepreneurial University of the year" in 2016 by The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide.[7]
Governance
The founders of TEAM University established an independent Board of Trustees. Since the beginning of the university, the Board has been constituted and is chaired by an independent member. The Board drafted a constitution with a majority of representatives who are independent(non-sharing). This ensures that the position and interests of the founders and shareholders are limited. The constitution requires the Board to safeguard against financial self-interest and allows the university to be regulated by strong standards of management and business principles. The Board is chaired by Andrew Wachtel.[citation needed]
