Each school is comprised of various departments offering both undergraduate and graduate degree programmes. The university is also home to the Pacific Centre for Environment and Sustainable Development, as well as the Pacific Technical and Further Education (TAFE) which is divided into the College of Foundation Studies and the College of Continuing Vocational Education and Training.
