Situated in Suva, the capital city of Fiji, the University of the South Pacific (USP) is a beacon of academic excellence. With its main campus, Laucala Campus, just a 10-minute bus ride from the bustling downtown, USP offers the best of both worlds—academic rigor and urban excitement.
Founded in the 1800s, Suva has evolved from a small trading post to become Fiji's political and commercial epicenter. Its rich history is a tapestry of indigenous Fijian culture and influences from European colonizers and Indian indentured laborers.
