Global innovators in Business Higher Education

NAPS is an institution that is committed to becoming a leader in global business education which is why it is the first Australian higher education provider to offer a Bachelor’s degree in Islamic Business and also Islamic specialist business units which can be taken as part of an Accounting degree.

NAPS’ mission is to provide an education that is student-centred and facilitates professional-readiness as well as an international outlook.

Supportive Program of Study

The Academy’s program of study is designed to prepare students for professional success in the many different careers for which a business degree serves as a useful or required qualification.

Practical skills and values are infused throughout the curriculum and the Experiential Program continues to be developed.

Academic rigour is mandated through a uniform attendance policy, multiple assessments and examinations that require analysis.

Courses are specifically designed to teach skills and values. Study outside the classroom and co-curricular activities are organised for a full educational experience.

Each student is assigned an academic staff mentor. Our staff reflect the diversity of our student body and global expertise and many are multi-lingual.

Technology at NAPS

Effective use of information technology permeates the Academy.  The NAPS Library and Skills Hub provide excellent access to online resources. Students also have access to nearby university libraries with community access rights to be paid by NAPS.

Each student will be given assistance to produce a Professional ePortfolio if they wish to do so. This is recommended as it is an excellent way to showcase their skills to prospective employers.
