The University of Fiji is set to host its Open Day on Friday, October 3, 2025, at both its Saweni and Samabula campuses. This event aims to offer prospective students and their families a comprehensive insight into the university’s study programs.
Attendees can look forward to meeting lecturers, exploring scholarship opportunities available through the Tertiary Scholarships and Loans Service booth, as well as participating in campus tours and student-led activities. In addition, a market day will be held, where proceeds will contribute to student fees, making it a dual-purpose event that is both informative and beneficial.
Vice-Chancellor Professor Shaista Shameem highlighted the importance of the Open Day in helping prospective students make educated decisions regarding their post-secondary education. This event is highly anticipated, particularly for its vibrant atmosphere that encourages interaction between students, parents, and faculty.
Rodney Vakaloloma, President of the University of Fiji Student Association, emphasized the benefits of studying at a smaller institution, stating that it fosters a closely-knit and supportive learning environment. He noted that student association members will be available to guide visitors through key facilities, ensuring an enriching experience for all who attend.
The university also stressed that future students will become part of a diverse community, with numerous extracurricular opportunities ranging from sports to debate clubs, and an exciting new cadet program set to launch next year.
All interested individuals are encouraged to join the Open Day, which serves as a gateway for future educational endeavors, fostering connections and knowledge that can guide students on their academic journeys.
