Local, regional students benefit from FNU’s Virtual Outreach Activity
The Fiji National University’s (FNU) Virtual Outreach Activity (VOA) continues to receive growing attendance from prospective students with more than 110 local and regional schools registered so far to participate in the two week campaign.
Four Zoom sessions are scheduled daily from Monday to Thursday.
Batinikama College Year 13 student Silviya Swastika Sami said that the ‘tailor-made’ sessions made it easier for students to understand the information being presented by the experts.
Ms Sami said she was able to gain an insight on how to choose majors and minors for different programmes.
“My first choice is Management and Marketing and the second choice is Accounting and Information Systems. Through these sessions, I was able to understand more about these fields of study and the careers that I could get into,” she said.
Ms Sami is encouraging students and the general public to participate in the Zoom sessions and learn about the courses and study opportunities.
The University has organised three sessions in English, iTaukei and Hindi, allowing parents and guardians to discover what sets FNU apart from other universities in terms of programme delivery, hands-on practical sessions and compulsory industrial attachments.
Students completing or have completed Year 12 or 13 have the opportunity to undergo studies in a Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) course at FNU through the 5,000 Tertiary Scholarships and Loans Service (TSLS) placements.
Interested students can still register and participate in the Livestream sessions during the University’s Virtual Outreach Activities (VOA) from the 4th to the 22nd of October by emailing outreach@fnu.ac.fj or call the Outreach team on 9317582.
Parents and guardians who wish to participate in the dedicated Information Sessions for them can also register through the contacts above. These sessions will be held on Friday, October 15 in the English, iTaukei and Hindi languages.
