Organisational Structure
Established in 1968, the University of the South Pacific (USP) is one of only two regional universities in the world. Its member countries are: Cook Islands, Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Niue, Solomon Islands, Tokelau, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu and Samoa. The main Campus is in Suva, Fiji, and there is a second campus in Samoa where the School of Agriculture and the Institute for Research, Extension and Training in Agriculture and Rural Development (IRETA) are located. The University's Law Department and Pacific Languages Unit are at the USP complex in Port Vila, Vanuatu, and there are University Centres in all of the countries, except Tokelau, which is serviced from Samoa through an office on Atafu atoll.
The University has four academic schools: Agriculture, Humanities, Pure and Applied Sciences and Social and Economic Development. Consultancies, research and short-term training are also carried out by five institutes: Applied Sciences, Education, Marine Resources (now relocated to Honiara, Solomon Islands), Pacific Studies, IRETA, and Social and Administrative Studies. These units are supported by a well resourced Library, Computer Center, Media Centre and Centre for Enhancement of Teaching and Learning.
