fnu

FNU, commonly known as Fiji National University, is the national public university of Fiji. It was established in 2010 by the Fiji National University Act, created through the consolidation of several national tertiary institutions to centralize higher education in the country. The university operates across multiple campuses and centers throughout Fiji and offers undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral programs. Its programs span arts, sciences, engineering, business, education, health sciences, and information technology, with an emphasis on applied research and professional training.

FNU’s mission is to provide accessible, quality higher education and to contribute to national development through teaching, research, and community engagement. The university collaborates with government agencies, industry partners, and regional and international universities to support graduates’ employability and research impact. It maintains libraries, research facilities, and student services designed to support learning and innovation.

Governance is provided by a university council, with oversight from the Ministry of Education and other government bodies. As Fiji’s national university, FNU aims to serve a diverse student body, including many first-generation tertiary students, and to expand opportunities across urban and rural communities.

The acronym FNU can refer to other organizations or terms in different contexts, but Fiji National University remains the most widely recognized use of the abbreviation.
