Team Academy-inspired degrees have been offered in the UK since 2013 and our universities are part of an international family of institutions which now spans four continents and 16 countries.

Developed from an original concept pioneered in Finland more than 25 years ago, all Team Academy degrees around the world have the same core elements.

Current programmes with UK universities:

“I don’t think there’s anything more useful than getting pushed out there to start your own project, getting real feedback and learning by doing.”
