First year can be one of the most confusing and exciting times of your life. There are things you can do to make the transition into university smoother, but there are going to be bumps in the road regardless. Nevertheless, don't be nervous. Here is a guide to almost everything you need to know about university.

noquBuddy is a peer-to-peer learning support programme for the new first-year undergraduate students. “Noqu” is an iTaukei word for “my”. So noquBuddy means my buddy. In this programme the first-year students are connected with second-year or above students of FNU who volunteer their time to help the new students to have a smooth first year journey at FNU.

This programme is designed for first-year FNU students to kick-start the semester on a high note. These Friday virtual interactive sessions are a chance for new students to acquaint themselves with university life, both academic and personal.

Foundation Mathematics Proficiency Assessment (FMPA) is a self-directed online course designed to help you assess your mathematical skills. Although it is not compulsory, we recommend every first year student to take advantage of this cost-free opportunity.

FNU is committed to providing the best education and support to students who come to our shores to study at our university. CLTE has prepared an International Student Guide together with the International Students Mentorship Programme to ease the transition of international students into FNU.

Succeed@FNU, an online course, has been designed to assist first-year students in identifying their potential to achieve their academic goals, become familiar with FNU’s expectations and regulations, learn about the support systems available at FNU and be responsible for self-care.

As a first year student, most things at FNU may be new to you: new friends, new expectations, and a unique learning environment. You might feel like an outsider at first, but don't worry—the FNU FYE app is designed to help you make an excellent start to your learning journey at FNU.

This programme is a two-week pre-semester course designed specifically for DFAT-sponsored students newly arrived at FNU. It aims to facilitate transition to academic and campus culture at FNU and everyday life in Fiji.
