The University of the South Pacific is in Suva, the heart of Fiji and home to half of the country’s population. Downtown, you will find diverse architecture including colonial buildings, modern plazas and small back roads lined with local cuisine – all just minutes from tropical beaches.
At USP, students are can blend academics and hands on practical learning. Courses including Marine Studies, Tourism, Geography, Environmental Science and Biology all offer field trips to provide a rich experience from the perspective of the Pacific.
