Fiji National University is going through a transition period and will be offering courses on a semester basis as opposed to their normal trimester.

Vice Chancellor Nigel Healey says that this was introduced last year and will apply to students who register with the university from this year.

“Existing students remain on trimester based courses so all of the returning students for second and third year, they will continue in their existing programs until they graduate.”

He added that the new semester based courses are only for the new first year students who will be starting certificates, diplomas or degrees.

The 2018 academic year for FNU starts on February 5th.
