The University of the South Pacific

The University of the South Pacific is the premiere provider of tertiary education in the Pacific region. Established in 1968, it has twelve Member Countries: Cook Islands, Fiji Islands, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Niue, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tokelau, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu. The University also has agreements with more than a dozen international universities and will establish a major presence in neighbouring New Zealand in 2002.

A strong distance education programme supported by the University’s sophisticated satellite communications network delivers academic courses to almost half of the total student body, supported by University Centres. Other students study face to face full- or part-time at the University’s three major campuses at Fiji, Vanuatu and Samoa.
