The Fiji way
Food and Society
Fiji’s multicultural society offers a warm and vibrant environment for overseas students, making it an ideal destination for studying abroad. The country’s diverse population is a harmonious blend of Indigenous Fijians, Indo-Fijians, Europeans, Chinese, and other Pacific Islanders, fostering a unique cultural tapestry. This multiculturalism is reflected in Fiji’s festivals, traditions, and, most notably, its food.
As a student, you’ll find an incredible variety of cuisine influenced by Fiji’s rich heritage. Indigenous Fijian dishes, like kokoda (marinated raw fish in coconut milk) and lovo (meat and root vegetables cooked underground), showcase traditional cooking methods and fresh local ingredients. Indo-Fijian cuisine offers flavorful curries, roti, and spicy chutneys, reflecting the Indian influence on the islands. Chinese restaurants serve stir-fried dishes, dumplings, and noodle soups, providing a taste of Asia.
For those seeking a taste of home, Fiji’s urban centers like Suva and Nadi offer international eateries serving Western, Mediterranean, and even fusion cuisine. Additionally, vibrant markets brim with tropical fruits, fresh seafood, and exotic spices, allowing students to explore local flavors affordably.
Beyond the food, Fiji’s welcoming people and rich traditions create an inclusive community where students can experience global cultures while building lifelong memories and connections.

Fiji and Australia
Fiji and Australia share a strong and collaborative relationship in the field of education, which opens exciting opportunities for overseas students choosing Fiji as their study destination. The two countries are united by their geographical proximity and cultural ties, fostering initiatives that support academic exchanges, capacity building, and the development of education systems.
Australian universities and institutions actively collaborate with Fijian counterparts, offering joint programs, scholarships, and research opportunities. Initiatives such as the Australia Awards Scholarships provide Fijian students access to world-class education in Australia, while fostering reciprocal knowledge-sharing opportunities for Australian and international students studying in Fiji. These partnerships emphasize sustainable development, climate change, and regional leadership—fields of growing importance in the Pacific.
For overseas students in Fiji, the influence of these educational ties is apparent in the high quality of education, global perspectives integrated into local curricula, and the presence of Australian-accredited programs at Fijian institutions. Such collaborations ensure students gain a well-rounded education with international relevance.
Beyond academics, the close relationship enhances cultural exchange, with Fiji benefiting from Australian support in infrastructure, vocational training, and teacher development. For overseas students, studying in Fiji provides a chance to experience this unique fusion of regional cooperation and academic excellence.
