Texila American University Zambia (TAUZ) is fast emerging as one of the most impactful private universities in Zambia, offering cost-effective, globally aligned education that directly addresses the healthcare and educational needs of Zambia and the wider Southern African Development Community (SADC) region, including Malawi, Zimbabwe, and Botswana.
Strategically located in Lusaka, TAUZ provides a gateway for students across the region to access world-class medical education without leaving the comfort and safety of Southern Africa. Zambia’s peaceful environment and central position in the region has made it an ideal destination for cross-border students seeking an affordable, quality education that prepares them for global careers.
TAUZ stands out as the only private university in Zambia with a fully equipped dissection laboratory on campus, coupled with state-of-the-art science and clinical laboratories. These facilities are essential in ensuring that students from Zambia and neighbouring SADC countries receive hands-on, practical training that meets international standards.
The university’s medical program is recognized by key regulatory bodies, including the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA), allowing graduates to seamlessly integrate into healthcare systems across the region and beyond. Graduates can sit for licentiate examinations in the countries they come from after completing their studies at TAU Zambia.
For students from Malawi, Zimbabwe, and other SADC nations, TAUZ offers tailored support services that simplify their academic journey. These include free airport or bus terminal pick-ups, complimentary on-campus accommodation for the first six months, and dedicated support in processing study permits and relevant documentation. This student-centered approach ensures that learners from across the region feel welcomed and supported from day one.
Understanding the financial realities of the region, TAUZ has introduced flexible payment options that allow students to pay tuition fees monthly, quarterly, or semester-wise, making international-standard education truly accessible to more students in the region.
Beyond academics, TAUZ offers a vibrant campus life with clubs, societies, cultural activities, and sports teams that promote holistic student development.
By establishing itself as a quality-oriented, affordable, and regionally integrated university, TAUZ is helping Zambia position itself as an educational hub for the SADC region.
Mr. Saju Bhaskar, Founder and President of TAU, has redefined international education with a vision that deeply connects to the needs of Zambia and the Southern African Development Community (SADC).
While TAUZ is deeply rooted in Zambia and focused on regional impact, it is part of the broader TAU Consortium, which has a global presence including a campus in Guyana. The consortium also manages EKAA HRIM EARTH RESOURCES MANAGEMENT, a diversified group operating in sectors such as oil and gas, renewable energy, infrastructure, healthcare, technology, and human resource management.
