In-Country Science programme

The VISP is a cohort teaching model developed by the Faculty of Science, Technology and Environment (FSTE) to enable science teachers, mature students and freshman the opportunity to complete their science degree from their local campus.

The event will mark a partnership between the University and the Government of Vanuatu through the Ministry of Education and Training in delivering full science programmes to students at Emalus Campus from 9 July.

VISP will provide students at Emalus Campus the opportunity to take science programmes that in the past would only be offered at Laucala Campus in Fiji. Some students even travel to Universities beyond our region to study science.

“The government and I have been discussing the introduction of face-to-face science delivery in Vanuatu by USP since 2016 and we now have this opportunity to utilise it,” said Jean Pierre Nirua, Minister of Education and Training during an information session at the Emalus Campus last week.
