Academic Development and Quality Assurance (AD&QA) unit of NSBM is responsible for the implementation of academic strategy across the university. The ambition of the unit is to uplift the academic standards of the university to respond to a highly competitive and fast-changing environment and seeks to position the university on par with internationally recognized universities. In realizing this ambition, the AD&QA offers a wide range of strategic initiatives such as managing the academic programme portfolio, ensuring quality assurance enhancement, implanting academic staff development programmes, conducting conferences, encouraging publications, research and development and public engagement programmes. With the establishment of the university research council, this work is further advanced in terms of dedicated research-led initiatives.Existing research-led initiatives in this regard have been the International Conference on Business Innovation (ICOBI) which has been taking place since 2018.

We collaborate with our research partners on projects that directly benefit the industry, economy and society. Collaboration helps us to push the boundaries of research even further.
At NSBM Green University, we pride ourselves on our close understanding of business and industry. This helps us to make sure our teaching and research are relevant to the needs of modern businesses. We have many partnerships with both local and global businesses which take many forms from Knowledge Transfer Partnerships, to secondments and consultancy.

The university actively engages with the industry through its bi-annual Business Dialogue magazine. The magazine is a much sort after publication at the university. Its most compelling quality is its collaborative nature, with both students and lecturers as contributing editors and authors. Each issue captures the brilliant words and advice of business gurus and experts stemming from multiple industries worldwide.

This magazine is primarily printed for distribution among the students at NSBM to act as a source of inspiration, whilst learning the ample opportunities and pathways of their chosen fields of study. The many trials and tribulations faced by current business leaders, both locally and internationally, shall indeed act as a stimulus to all our aspiring young undergraduates.

In terms of ongoing research partnerships, the university, through the research council are actively engaged with projects with SLT/Mobitel and Printcare PLC in long term development projects.

The NSBM research-related activities constantly strive to capture the works of the students in their academic pursuits. One such key activity is the student research symposium that empowers young researchers to showcase their talents in terms of their novel research ideas. Not only does this develop an interest for new and innovative work in respective subject areas but also creates a brand-new research culture from a very young age with the student community.
