Overview

In 2001, three Ugandan individuals, namely (a) David Tumushabombwe (b) Joseph Kigongo Balikuddembe and (c) Sam Kindyomunda Rugaba established Team Business College. All three are professional accountants and they began by providing training leading to certification by the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA).[4]

In 2006, using experience gained from running TBC, the same trio applied to the UNCHE for permission to establish a private university. On 18 December 2007, UNCHE granted them a Letter of Interim Authority to establish Team University. The University was established in October 2010, as a private "Degree Awarding Institution".[4] In 2015, Team University received full accreditation as a private university.[1]

In October 2017, Team University held its fifth graduation ceremony, graduating nearly 400 degree, diploma and certificate students.[5]
