The Fiji National University (FNU) has embarked on school and community visits over the coming months to ensure that all Fijians have access and awareness of the quality education and learning support services offered at the University.

FNU Acting Vice-Chancellor, Dr William May said these outreach activities undertaken by the University’s academic and support staff would make it easier for prospective students, teachers, parents and guardians to make informed decisions regarding tertiary studies.

“As the national tertiary institution, we have continued to provide technical and vocational education and training (TVET) and Higher Education programmes to our local, regional and international students,” Dr May said.

“These programmes have been designed in consultation with our industry partners to address the skills needed in the workforce. Students have multiple entry pathways into our courses as they range from Level 3-6 (Certificate 3-4, Diploma), undergraduate and postgraduate, Masters and Phd levels of qualification.”

“FNU also has various support services for student learning enhancement and flexible fee payment options to ease the financial obligations on our students and families.”

The Outreach teams will visit high schools in the Central, Western and Northern Division over the next two weeks and will highlight the courses and services available at FNU as well as the application and entry requirements and the Fijian Government’s education initiatives offered through the Tertiary Scholarships and Loans Service (TSLS).

The University will also conduct awareness sessions within communities and industries on the study opportunities available to them at FNU.
