Australian College of Applied Professionals

ACAP University College (ACAP) is an international leader in providing professional training in the broad field of applied psychology. The philosophy of the college inspires our students, staff and graduates to contribute to the social and spiritual wellbeing of society by exemplifying the values of integrity, equity and social justice through our conduct as an organisation. In the early 2000s, ACAP’s offerings expanded beyond Psychology and Counselling included Communications, Human Resources, Leadership, Management & Sports Performance Psychology. In 2021, ACAP once again broadened these offerings to include a Master of Business Administration and, soon, other new study areas to strengthen two key aspects of our core mission: To redefine the meaning and application of psychology in relation to the needs of individuals, communities, corporations, governments and industry. To continue to create learning environments in which individuals acquire the fundamental skills known to positively enhance and advance growth and development in interpersonal relationships.ACAP was established in Sydney in 1983 with the aim of making the study of applied psychology accessible to the wider public, beyond the narrow confines of traditional university teachings. The vision was always to leverage expertise in applied psychology to create learning environments that embed the humanistic skills to positively enhance and advance growth and development in interpersonal relationships. Across forty years, change has been a constant theme in finding ways to keep this vision front and centre. In 2023, we once again expanded the offer beyond human services, management and law, to include the ACAP Professional Year.
