USP Post grad

Solomon Islands High Commissioner to Fiji, His Excellency Mr Patteson Oti is pursuing a Postgraduate Certificate in Diplomacy and International Affairs through the University’s School of Government, Development and International Affairs (SGDIA).

Mr Oti said that one should never stop learning and this is what drove him to continue his education at the University.

Graduating from USP in 1982 with a Bachelor of Arts majoring in History/Politics and Public Administration, Mr Oti decided to take this course to strengthen his career in diplomacy.

The postgraduate students are part of a team of 10 from the USP, which includes both a legal and a science expert.

Each of the eight students have been accredited to six different Pacific island country delegations and are providing support on issues that are important to the Pacific such as climate finance, loss and damage as well as the Enhanced Durban Platform for Action.
