Students in the northern division seeking to attain tertiary-level qualifications will now have an opportunity to pursue further studies after the opening of the Fiji National University’s (FNU) Naduna Campus in Labasa.

FNU’s Chancellor and Chair of Council, Tessa Price said the facility provides students with first-hand experience of campus learning and allows them to graduate and contribute to the economic and social development of their families, communities and the nation.

“Having this campus here in the North shows the local community of businesses, farmers, seafarers and tourism providers that we are confident in the calibre and potential of the students that we serve here in the North, in Fiji, and the Pacific,” Ms Price said.

“As the national university, the FNU Council has high expectations of where we envision the institution to be in the next few years. We will ensure the University is accountable for its commitment to providing quality and accessible tertiary education and research with real-world impact.”

“I firmly believe that a huge part of University life is being in a campus environment and creating networks and experiences with friends through the classes and tutorials, the debates, sports activities and other campus life activities.”

“FNU has the ability to transform lives and economies and with the continued support of the Fijian Government and the FNU Council, we will continue to help improve living conditions, assist many to achieve their academic aspirations, and take tertiary education in the country to greater heights.”
