The University of Fiji was established by Arya Pratinidhi Sabha of Fiji to
provide high quality, affordable higher education to the many students who had
no access to other tertiary institutions.The University's objectives include to
provide higher education relevant to Fiji 's needs, but within a global
framework and to support Fiji 's development as a sustainable, peaceful,
inclusive and progressive society committed to good governance. The Ministry of
Education and the University have signed an MOU to provide a framework for the
relationship between the Government and The University of Fiji until an Act is
passed to provide a more complete legislative framework for the
University.
The University is now a registered and recognized provider of
higher education in Fiji (Recognition No.8190).The University of Fiji is
governed by a Council, which consists of the main education stakeholders in Fiji
, as well as prominent community and business leaders. The University's initial
development is being funded by the sponsor, the Arya Pratinidhi Sabha of Fiji ,
a body which has operated in the country for a century and has been prominent in
providing quality primary and secondary education.
The University of Fiji
has entered into arrangements with a number of universities to ensure
international recognition of its qualifications and to encourage joint research
and publications, including the University of Canberra. The University offers
programmes through its Schools at the Certificate, Diploma, Undergraduate Degree
and Postgraduate levels in disciplines such as Accounting, Economics,
Management, Computing Science, Information Technology, Mathematics and Language
