Postgraduate Study Options

 

The University of the South Pacific (USP) has a comprehensive selection of Postgraduate programmes across its six Schools for pupils interested in pursuing Postgraduate studies.

USP has sought to deliver the best value for money to its Member Countries while consistently expanding the quality and range of its academic programmes, facilities, educational and pastoral support, community projects, and regionally relevant research, led by its spirit of continuous improvement. Since its humble beginnings in 1968, the University has come a long way.

USP’s academic programmes have been designed for the Pacific Islands context; the core academic work in introductory courses is similar to that offered elsewhere, but local and regional data, source materials, experiments, and case studies engage students and help them acquire knowledge more readily.

Fanny Serai Raboiliku Levuilowa, who completed her Postgraduate Certificate, Postgraduate Diploma, and Masters in Business Administration (MBA), says she learned about USP’s Postgraduate programmes from a colleague who was also furthering their studies.

“Being a working student was challenging, but with the help of the support staff and other students, the two years flew by,” she added.

She stated that her MBA and Postgraduate qualifications made her more marketable than ever before.

Fanny said the programme gave her the confidence and practical experience to take her family-owned business to the next level.

She encouraged anyone considering furthering their studies to look into the Postgraduate options available at USP.

Pramnesh Chand, who is pursuing a Postgraduate Diploma in Hospitality and Tourism Management, said that after completing his Bachelors in Hospitality and Tourism Management, his family and friends advised and empowered him to pursue further studies.

“Because I was a current student at USP and was aware of the programmes available and their benefits, I decided to take the next step. Right now, I am enjoying studying,” he said.

According to him, USP’s Postgraduate programme boosted his data analysis abilities and his knowledge of international tourism and marketing, worldwide trends, and how countries are considering virtual tourism as an alternative.

He stated that the learning environment was excellent, with outstanding facilities and teaching staff, and better job prospects once upon completing the programme.
