MISSION STATEMENT
NIS is an autonomous educational institute embedded in the official structure of the institute and consequently, has access to a global academic and industrial network. NIS is rapidly acquiring a leading position in the fields of transport economics, including maritime transport economics and logistics and is committed to maintaining and building on its excellent reputation among key players in the maritime, port and transport industries. Students joining NIS interactive programmes will benefit from highly specialized instruction and intercultural training as well as from opportunities for international networking.

NIS’s department (Education & Training, Research & Projects, and Events & Conferences) can boast of a research and professional team with a proven track record in the filed. The strength of the team lies not only in its impressive academic credentials, its extensive filed research and wide-ranging empirical knowledge, but also in its ability to put the (emerging) global and multicultural known-how into real terms. NIS therefore highly values its faculty and staff who have committee their talents and careers to advance its mission, to evaluate their professional performance and to compensate them at nationally competitive levels.

In short, NIS constitutes the node of academic rigor and practical assessment, thus generating ‘the value-added touch’.

VISION STATEMENT
NIS will be Africa’s premier suppliers of highly specialized academic and practice-based maritime and logistics education with a ‘one-stop’ approach encompassing ‘frontiers of knowledge’ policy, B.Sc programmes etc.
