For many ambitious young Namibians, the dream of becoming a doctor or earning an internationally recognized degree once seemed out of reach, hindered by high tuition abroad, long travel distances, or uncertainty about global recognition. Today, that dream is within reach through Texila American University Zambia (TAUZ), a leading institution that offers affordable, world-class education right here in Southern Africa.
Located in Lusaka, Zambia, just a short flight or road trip from Namibia, TAUZ has become a preferred destination for Namibian students seeking quality education within the region. Zambia’s reputation as a peaceful, student-friendly country makes it an ideal place to study, offering a safe environment, cultural warmth, and tuition fees that are far more accessible than those of universities overseas.
At Texila American University Zambia, the difference lies in practical, hands-on training. It is the only private university in Zambia with a fully equipped dissection lab on campus, complemented by advanced science and clinical facilities that meet international standards. This ensures that Namibian students, together with peers from over 40 nationalities graduate with the knowledge, confidence, and practical skills needed to thrive in today’s global workforce.
TAUZ is accredited by the Higher Education Authority (HEA) and recognized by the Health Professions Council of Zambia (HPCZ) and the Zambia Qualifications Authority (ZAQA). Additionally, its medical programs are accepted across the region including by the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) and other regional bodies, giving Namibian graduates the flexibility to practice within SADC or pursue further studies internationally.
Understanding the unique needs of international students, Texila American University Zambia (TAUZ) provides comprehensive support designed to make the transition to university life smooth and stress-free. From the moment students arrive in Zambia, the university ensures they feel welcomed and cared for through organized airport or bus station pick-ups.
To help them settle comfortably, TAUZ offers complimentary on-campus accommodation during the first semester, giving new students a chance to adjust to their new environment before making independent housing arrangements. In addition, the university provides dedicated guidance and support in processing study permits and other essential documentation, ensuring full compliance with immigration and academic requirements.
Recognizing that financial flexibility is key for many families, TAUZ also offers convenient tuition payment plans that allow students to pay fees quarterly or by semester, easing the financial burden while maintaining access to quality education. However, education at Texila extends well beyond the classroom. The university fosters holistic growth by encouraging students to participate in leadership programs, cultural events, and student-led initiatives. From dynamic academic clubs to sports and performing arts, students discover their strengths and build lifelong friendships while developing the confidence and leadership skills needed for success in the real world.
Being part of the Texila American University Consortium, which operates internationally in Guyana, the Middle East, and Africa, TAUZ connects Namibian students to a truly global academic and professional network. The consortium also manages EKAA HRIM EARTH RESOURCES MANAGEMENT, a diversified group with investments in renewable energy, healthcare, oil and gas, infrastructure, technology, and human resource management, ensuring that TAUZ graduates are connected to an expansive ecosystem of global opportunities.
Mr. S.P. Saju Bhaskar, Founder and President of Texila American University, and Ms. Chitra Lakshmi, Co-Founder and Executive Vice President, have redefined international education with a vision deeply aligned to the growth and development of Zambia, the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and beyond. Their mission continues to empower students from across the region including Namibia to access transformative education and global career opportunities.
Texila American University Zambia is more than a university, it is Namibia’s gateway to global excellence in medicine, management, and Information Technology.
