If there's adventure in your soul, Fiji is the place to indulge it. The Fiji Islands in the South Pacific are an archipelago of over 330 islands packed with attractions that can be found no where else and offers a unique experiential opportunity for the visitor. As a study abroad student in Fiji, you will go well beyond the tourist attractions and truly immerse yourself in a developing island nation. Fiji is well known for its friendly culture, beautiful islands, and endless adventure, yet it is also a country built on multiculturalism, the love of sport, traditional chiefdom, and a well-educated society.

In 2006, Fiji experienced a peaceful political coup where the government was taken over by the military. The coup certainly highlighted the diversity of culture of this geographically small country. The Fijian and Indo-Fijian populations have a long history of political challenges, but they maintain consistently peaceful and non-violent. The current government in Fiji is still in transition, but life for those outside of the government, including the university and tourist areas, continues as normal.

The AustraLearn program at the USP in Fiji is currently running, and we are continuing to accept applications for future semesters. We will continue to monitor the political climate of Fiji , and as always, AustraLearn would never run a program to a destination deemed unsafe by the U.S. state department.
