The Fiji National University (FNU) has successfully concluded its 2025 Open Day, a three-day celebration of learning, innovation, and discovery that attracted more than 15,000 students, teachers, parents, and community members across all major campuses.

Held under the theme “Crafting Futures Together,” the event showcased FNU’s diverse academic programmes, cutting-edge research, and career pathways, reaffirming the University’s commitment to developing a skilled and future-ready workforce for Fiji and the Pacific.

Students engaged in exhibitions, interactive demonstrations, and career guidance sessions that provided valuable insights into study options and employment opportunities. For many, the experience clarified their academic ambitions.

“The Open Day gave me a clearer vision of the pathway I want to take to achieve my dream career,” said Simione Labai, a student from RKS.
