Students will be required to display that they have some knowledge of the principles and methodologies of forensic accounting. These students have to demonstrate that as accountants they are able to collect evidence, reconstruct financial trails and prove how fraud occurred and who was responsible. All these will be done by following forensic principles and established methodologies. The learning of this course will follow a different approach from undergraduate studies and will focus on both the field and practical approaches to forensic accounting. Using forensic accounting theories and methodologies, this course will
discuss the tactics to tackle the ever-increasing fraudulent financial activities in the corporate world. This course will also discuss issues and controversies faced by the current accounting and auditing environment. This course will make use of case studies based on the corporate fraud in the practical environment.

This course describes the skills and knowledge required to follow appropriate social principles and practice good governance procedures when undertaking Monitoring, Control and Surveillance (MCS) activities. It also requires a coastal fisheries or aquaculture MCS officer to outline knowledge of international legal instruments and policies that impact MCS work; explain defined MCS outcomes for effective fisheries management; and clearly communicate fisheries administrator related messages. The application of all this knowledge will then be demonstrated in exercising powers of authorised fisheries officers through conducting searches, cautioning or reporting suspects and assessing or preserving crime/incident scenes.
This course describes the skills and knowledge required to undertake community engagement activities by: facilitating effective consultations; utilising conflict resolution/negotiation skills to address issues/incidents; monitoring fish catches and measuring species size for legal compliance; monitoring market documentation for fish sales/purchases and by assimilating social inclusion into community interaction.
This course describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to work with basic information about healthy body systems and impacts on ageing and disability.

During and after COVID-19, Fiji’s economy was hit very hard, leaving no industry unaffected. Thus, the downturn of the economy resulted in job losses and the government saw the needs to quickly create more opportunities for employment.
Fiji reopened its border to international travellers on Wednesday, 1 December, 2021. This to revive its dominant tourism industry and in 2022 generated almost $FJ900 million. So, TVET skills were seen as drivers that would support the economic transformation which the country needed.
However, by March 2023, under the Pacific Australia Labour Mobility (PALM) scheme, more than 6,300 Fijians were working in Australia. Most of them are highly skilled.
Thus, now the challenge for Technical and Vocational Education and Training sector is crucial for the country, now than ever, especially in helping to revive Fiji’s economy. The government is now looking at:
ensure that it provides foundation/employability skills training to meet the needs of Fiji empower students to become job creators rather than job seekers. improve the image of TVET in Fiji in terms of its significance in work and in improving economic growth and sustainability. advocate for TVET as the master key to address youth unemployment and to empower young people to have decent and gainful employment.
Further, TVET plays a key role in any society when it comes to providing qualified labour for the economy and transitioning young people for lifelong learning. TVET is the education sector closest to the labour market. As such, it is designed to tackle current and future challenges: first by making people capable and resilient in their lives, and second, to keep TVET relevant for the economy and society. These demands can only be met if TVET keeps up with the pace of change: accelerated innovation in digital technology, new demands in sustainability and environmental protection, and increased salaries to decrease processes of migration.
We need to look no further than the COVID-19 pandemic and now the Pacific Australia Labour Mobility (PALM) scheme for convincing examples of the need for TVET systems to prepare for unprecedented and unpredictable disruptions.

CHP02 provides simple but detailed concepts of basic chemistry. Most attention focuses on three main topics. Topics include introduction to basic ideas, the study of behaviour of gases, solids, liquids and solutions. These topics are further divided into smaller units to help students grasp each of the relevant concepts step by step. The course is also laboratory oriented and tailored to maximise student success in foundation and degree courses in chemistry.

The educational enterprise is much more complex than ever before and is increasingly becoming a matter of public interest and debate. Therefore an appreciation and understanding of the educational policy process is useful to the planners themselves, as well as educators generally. These matters are of relevance and importance not only to the educational administrators, who are called upon to make policy decisions and are required to give policy advice at various levels within the educational systems, but also teachers and other members of the stakeholders. ED453 is intended for educators and for both practicing and prospective educational administrators and planners. It will deal with relevant theoretical perspectives, research bases and practical experiences in various aspects of educational policy process. In particular, the policy making process in this course is conceptualized in three contexts: the context of influence; the context of text production; and context of practice.

This postgraduate course focuses on the natural resources of the Pacific Islands which include biodiversity (terrestrial and marine), water, soils, minerals, geothermal energy, and others. Emphasis will be placed on the nature of human resource-use systems in the Pacific Islands; how these systems have affected terrestrial and marine resources; and actions that can be taken to protect natural resources and to promote environmentally and culturally sustainable development in the Pacific islands. Emphasis is also placed on obtaining a better understanding of the main concepts and recent trends in global Political Ecology, in particular UN agreements. We aim, for instance, to identify holistic, indigenous community-based approaches to preserving ecosystem services to illustrate Pacific leadership in the implementation of the various UN agreements, and to identify respective problems in the region.
This course focuses on aspects of the Geography of the Pacific Islands of interest to individual students. It is a course tailored to a particular student`s interests and/or requirements given their planned thesis topic or interests. This course will provide students with a detailed knowledge of a particular aspect of Pacific Islands geography, for example, land-population relationship in Kiribati, the home gardening potential in urban Vanuatu, or the evidence for recent coastline changes in the Southern Cook Islands, Pacific industrialisation, produce marketing in Fiji. Identifying relevant sources of information, knowledge of appropriate methods of data analysis and interpretation.
This course particularly focuses on individual research that will lead to a literature review and discussion paper as the start point of your own research project.
The class will be conducted as a face-to-face seminar format and the main purpose is to provide an opportunity for individual research and discussion rather than for lectures. This year we will discuss a variety of topics to cover your diverse background and interest.
In the first part of the course, students will work up their own ideas on their own project, which is a literature review and discussion paper of a topic of interest. Your research paper should be a theoretical review your research interest. In consultation with your supervisor and/or the course coordinator, your research paper may form a significant component of the literature review of your thesis. Assigned readings will be provided, while you are also required to identify journal articles relevant to your topic.
Given the diverse nature of course participants, later in the course we will widen discussions based on the different perspectives each of us brings to the classroom. By doing this, students are trained to read academic journal articles and book chapter intensively, and will expand their perspectives on a particular concept of their interest.
Journal articles you will identify should be:
- published recently (ideally over the past decade);
- published in a leading journals in your discipline
- must be a research article, i.e. should not be such articles as book reviews, editorials, obituariesGEP02 focuses on the human environment, its characteristics, distribution patterns, formative processes and interactions with the physical environment. This course does not make students experts in human geography. It only helps give you an overview of the concepts and components in the study of human geography.

This course will be seminar-based and involve examination of archival sources.
The course this year explores the history of religious conversion in the South Pacific since European contact and also in comparative perspective.
Key questions include: How have people described their own conversion and the conversion of others in written and oral texts -- and how have these descriptions changed over time? What do archival accounts of conversions reveal about the nature and practice of conversion itself? And what role has sharing and circulating conversion stories played in the past?
The course readings and assignments will emphasise Christian conversions in colonial contexts in the South Pacific. However, we will also examine comparative, methodological, and theoretical readings on conversion in other times and cultural contexts.
The history of conversion raises a number of themes fundamental to the practice of history, such as the nature of historical change, the relationship between the individual and society, the possibilities and limits of historical methods and archival sources, and deciding what "context" matters when writing histories. This course also provides an introduction to the history of religion as well as a critical perspective on the impact of Christianity in the South Pacific and its relation to colonialism.

This course is a very practical course that focuses on teaching strategies for the classroom. It provides hands-on experience working with innovative technologies to develop teachers’ skills in the use of new tools when preparing and delivering the curriculum. It provides strategies for getting the most out of prescribed texts and textbooks, creating new texts based on learner needs, and transforming resource-poor teaching environments. It provides practical techniques for a range of elements that may include error correction, the promotion of fluency, and the integration of language and academic content from across the curriculum.
The course presents some of the current issues related to the use of digital technology in education across three levels. The first considers the potential impact digital technology could have systemically within formal education. Secondly, we will broaden our understanding of literacy in 21st-century education, and reflect upon the values that we want to underpin the use of technology in teaching English language. Finally, we will review and discuss the wider impact and risks of digital technology upon the cognitive development, emotional and social life of a learner, focusing particularly upon young learners.

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.
The focus of this course is to help managers understand and interpret accounting facts and figures drafted by accountants and use such knowledge to improve managerial decision making in their respective functional areas.
Managers from different functional areas would initially be exposed to financial and cost accounting concepts and practices so they can understand and interpret accounting facts and figures, as well as periodic management accounts and financial reports. That would follow the exposition of the array of tools and techniques of financial and cost analysis with hands on exercises to improve the art and sciences of decision making. With such a knowledge base in the background, managers would be practicing the mechanics of decision making in the classroom in various functional and strategic areas of management.
This course is an in depth survey of the principles of marketing. The course is based on an understanding of the importance of marketing to the success of any business endeavour.

PC426: Ecosystem-Based Adaptation for Climate and Disaster Resilience
The population processes of fertility, mortality and migration and their implications for decisionmaking planning will be examined in this course. Demographic, social and economic data are crucial to strategic decision-making for public policies, businesses, industries and public enterprises. Future planning in business, employment and all other aspects of socioeconomic development depend on the forecasts and projections of demographic data and their trends and patterns of change. The course will examine demographic and social data and statistics, local area demographic and business profiles, sources of demographic and socio-economic data, their usefulness and quality, data for planning needs by local authorities and the state. Further, it will use techniques of population projections and projection software to project population and labour force. Local and regional databases will be accessed in order to give students

This course deals with aspects of the measurement and control of physical systems. While the course focuses mainly on computer-based measurement and control systems, other electronic control systems are also considered. The study of input and output transducers and their interfacing to measurement and control systems form an important part of the course.
The course will involve the theoretical and practical aspects of wind power generation, in the context of small-scale wind power technology. From a basic grounding in wind power conversion processes, students will be introduced to advanced knowledge of wind turbine design and performance. Aspects of the course include wind speed measurement and analysis for power generation, energy storage, economics and safety and environmental issues. A general knowledge of developments in these areas at national, regional and international levels will also form part of the course. Case studies based on an actual wind turbine will be used to enhance knowledge in the theoretical part of this course.
