Modern problem and our mission
Taking a look at how much good education costs (especially business education), we notice that it is expensive. In the modern world, the availability of good education is really limited. Good education nowadays is a privilege, while it should be a right.
message from THE founder
Why isn’t education from renowned speakers, professionals from the industry and university professors available for everyone?
During the last decades, education has changed a lot: new technologies, inventions, changes in most industries etc., but the concept of education remains the same – universities cling to outdated models of education.
We can't agree with the way it is. We believe that good education should be accessible for everyone in any part of the world.

Why Live?
Engagement is essential for education. We observed dozens of providers of online education and learnt their statistics from the inside. Unfortunately, pre-recorded courses often lose relevance quickly and fail to retain students — 95% of users drop out before completion. Live format ensures real-time interaction and content that doesn’t lose relevance, keeping education both current and compelling.
What happens in Next University?
Thousands of students join live lectures and receive relevant knowledge from professionals. For us, it’s hard to imagine someone studying on recorded lectures for 4-5 hours straight.
