About TEAM University Kampala
A private university, built around its students
We trace our roots to 2000 and were licensed as a university in 2015, with one conviction: East Africa needs universities that take their students as seriously as their standards. Today we’re a private Ugandan university licensed by the National Council for Higher Education (NCHE) based at Wood House, Mengo, with graduates building companies, classrooms and careers across the region.

What we stand for
TEAM University is a private, NCHE-licensed Ugandan university blending academic theory with practical, internationally benchmarked programmes that prepare graduates to lead in local and global environments.
Empower for Generations
The single sentence we want every graduate, family and partner to carry with them.
A transformative education that builds careers, livelihoods and citizens
To provide a transformative educational experience that fosters productive careers, meaningful livelihoods and responsible citizenry in a global society.
A hub of professional excellence for East Africa and beyond
To be a hub of professional excellence through continued innovation in science, governance, research and entrepreneurship for nations across East Africa and beyond.
Professionalism · Innovation · Integrity · Excellence
Four words. They show up in how we run the registrar's office, how we mark a paper and how we treat the security guard at the gate.
Academic leadership & administration
“Built on a strong foundation of professional and vocational education, TEAM University prides itself on its ability to offer first and higher degrees, and to engage in cutting-edge research and innovation.
Our administrative structure is guided by a commitment to quality assurance, academic integrity and continuous improvement in service delivery and student support.

Our story
From a business college to a chartered university
It begins as Team Business College
Founded by professional accountants to train students for certificates, diplomas and professional qualifications such as CPA and CIPS, working closely with the Ministry of Local Government.
Uganda's first private degree-awarding institution
NCHE grants a change of status to a private "Other Degree Awarding Institution" under the name Team Institute of Business Management (TIBM) — the first private ODAI in Uganda, mandated to confer its own Bachelor's, Master's and PhD degrees.
Licensed as a University by the NCHE
In October 2015, Team University is licensed by the National Council for Higher Education — building on fifteen years of professional and business-management training at Wood House, Mengo.
Faculties merge into a sharper structure
The University consolidates into five academic units: Management & Humanities, Education, Applied Science & Technology, the School of Health Sciences, and the School of Graduate Studies & Research.
The 16th Graduation & the move to CBET
The University graduates 1,351 students at its 16th ceremony, themed on Competency-Based Education and Training (CBET) — aligning with Uganda's national transition to competency-based higher education by 2027/2028.
