Any person studying for a professional degree should have some knowledge of the ethical principles upon which the practice of all professions is based. Students of law in particular require an understanding not only of the organisation, nature, structure, practice and operation of the legal profession, but also an appreciation of the ethics which impact upon their work as lawyers` and their relationship with the community. The duties imposed on the lawyer can be seen as being grounded in ethics. These duties, to the court and to the client, will be considered in this course.

Law Clinic is essentially a course in applied civil procedure. It is conducted at the Community Legal Centre at Emalus Campus, Port Vila and the Community Law Centre, Suva City (where the Centre is co-located with the Legal Aid Commission). Both Legal Centres are fully functioning law firms charged with the provision of legal advice and assistance to, and representation of, clients who cannot afford a private lawyer. Students are trained in legal skills, professional practice and ethics and gain practical experience in a law firm where they are required, under supervision, to interview and take instructions from clients, research and prepare legal advice, manage client files, write letters of advice to clients and correspond with other law firms, draft court documents, brief counsel and attend the Magistrates and Supreme/High Court with their clients. `Law Clinic? is NOT a substitute for the Professional Diploma in Legal Practice (PDLP), but students whose home jurisdictions do not require completion of the PDLP will find this unit particularly useful.

MG201 introduces fundamental concepts in the field of organisational behaviour (OB).
Managers worldwide fully appreciate the significance of OB and how, as a field of study, it assists them in dealing with the challenges facing 21st century organisations through a solid understanding of human behaviour at work, whether it be one;s own or others' behaviour.It is also true that OB is a an interesting and relevant subject because almost all of us are interested in human behaviour and expect to work in some organisation for at least part of our adult lives. Organisations fail or succeed, decline or prosper because of people i.e. because of what people do or do not do every day on the job. Therefore, OB is concerned with the study of what people do in an organisation and how that behaviour affects the performance of the organisation. It is now also recognised that effective organisational behaviour is the foundation, and the effective management and leadership of organisations requires thoughtful application of competencies related to the behaviour of people at work.

This course introduces the notions and real-world applications associated with commercialization, corporatization and privatization and analyses its consequences. The arguments for and against the various reform endeavours are deliberated upon. These arguments are presented with a global orientation and the practicalities of the models for developing countries or small island states are discoursed. (The course overview has been adapted from Larmour, P.E. (2012). Course outline for MG409: Commercialization, Corporatization & Privatization, The University of the South Pacific, Fiji & Amosa, D, E. (2011). MG409: Commercialization, Corporatization & Privatization, The University of the South Pacific, Fiji and modified for the purpose of the course).

This course enables the students to apply the basic engineering concepts
to practical devices and systems. A number of engineering devices
involve conversion, transfer and transport of energy from one form to
another. The students need to clearly understand the working of these
engineering devices and analyse the energy interaction involved. They
may also need to design simple devices and test them to enhance their
understanding of the subject. This course will provide the students with
an opportunity to apply the basic knowledge of thermo-fluids, gained in
earlier courses, to practical devices and systems. Topics include
internal combustion engines, gas turbines, power cycles and plants, wind
engineering and wind tunnel testing, aerodynamics, turbo-machinery,
analysis of heat transfer in heat exchangers and fins, transient heat
transfer, forced and natural convection.

The continuing exposure and experience of climate change both locally and globally has made food security a global concern especially to vulnerable small island states of the Pacific Island community. This course will examine the food system and status of food security at pre, during and post extreme climatic change events and challenges and factors affecting food security. The various international Food Security frameworks and policies will be examined and compared to the Pacific Food Security framework in order to help design appropriate adaptation protocols that will contribute to a climate resilient and sustainable food secure communities. The focus of adaptations will be related to strengthening the four pillars of food security through application of agro-technology and agromet decision support systems, resilient crops and farming systems, post-harvest, food safety and food preservations. The major project of the course will involve Food Security assessments and appropriate adaptations for selected Pacific Island communities. The examples and best practices and case studies in this course are from many food security resilient programs that are implemented in the Pacific Island Region. These were implemented by partners such as national governments, Pacific Community (SPC), FAO, SPREP and NGOs. The course will be delivered online using moodle platform and comprise of 100% course work
