πŸ™We’re excited to launch our new app designed to connect UK Pasifika student alumni & current students with incoming students from the Pacific or the wider diaspora.

This space is about building community β€” where students can sign up, connect, ask questions, share experiences, and support one another as they begin their journey of studying in the UK.

Whether you’re a new student looking for guidance or an alumni wanting to give back, this app makes it easy to stay connected and strengthen our Pasifika student network.

Join us and be part of a community that uplifts, inspires, and supports each other.

Disclaimer: The app is newly developed so may have some bits that don't work as they are supposed to, but sign up and give it a whirl and tell us what you think!

We are pleased to invite you to our very first Webinar for this year, presented by James Martin, a PhD candidate at the University of St. Andrews, this Sunday at 8pm online.

James is a 3rd year PhD student in Social Anthropology at the University of St Andrews. For one year he conducted ethnographic fieldwork in Fiji, studying how community-based marine resource management is socially mediated. Currently, James is in the process of writing up his doctoral thesis based on these experiences.

Join us as he takes us through his postgraduate experience, gives us insights into postgraduate study in the UK, and shares about his PhD journey so far. His presentation will be followed by a short Q&A so come prepared with questions!
