Connecting Uzbekistan and France: A Historic Partnership for Global Education and New Opportunities
This morning, on the Montpellier campus, MBS School of Business and TEAM University, a young and forward-looking private university based in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, officially signed a historic and nationally exclusive progression agreement. This partnership marks a new milestone in MBS’s international development strategy and strengthens academic ties between the Tashkent Region and Occitania.
A Strategic Bridge Between Two Regions
The agreement aims to foster collaboration between France and Uzbekistan by promoting student mobility and intercultural exchange. It will allow high-performing students from TEAM University to join the third and final year of MBS’s flagship Bachelor of International Business Administration (BIBA) programme.
Through this partnership, students will have the opportunity to earn a top-tier international degree while benefiting from a full year of academic and cultural immersion in the South of France.
This initiative reflects both institutions’ shared commitment to academic excellence, openness, and global engagement.
A Partnership Rooted in Shared Vision and Strategic Collaboration
This collaboration is the result of a series of strategic meetings held in Austria and Albania between Xavier Rajot, Director of International Academic Partnerships at MBS, and Hikmat Abdurahmanov, CEO and Co-Founder of TEAM University.
It also follows a thorough and seamless programme compatibility analysis conducted by Bérengère Vauterin, Progression Partnerships Specialist at MBS, in close collaboration with Dr. Azamat Nurmatov and Dr. Jyoti Meshram, respectively Dean and Vice Dean at TEAM University.
A Shared Commitment to Global Education
MBS warmly thanks all those who contributed to making this partnership possible through their dedication, collaboration, and shared vision.
This agreement perfectly illustrates MBS’s mission to make a difference through education, expand international cooperation, and prepare future leaders for a rapidly changing global landscape.
