![]() The Western Pacific University (WPU) in Ialibu, Southern Highlands, will be offering new programmes soon, says University President Dr Janet Rangou. Rangou said that sustainability for quality education in research and sensitivity to the conditions of quality was one key pillar for the new Digital University and this was the institutional culture for WPU. The WPU since its first enrolment in 2021 delivered a total of four programmes to students. They included:
“The aim was to provide students with foundational academic knowledge required to successfully complete further study via online, blended and face-to-face delivery.
“After the foundation year, students will enroll in one of the academic programmes for three years. “All these were achieved in just two years, for a new university and we’d like to give our students the best learning experience,” she said. “Soon, we will be introducing courses or programmes on the cyber security data analysis and digital game development for the creative industries,” she said. She said the university also prioritised that development of academic and non-academic staff on the improvement of qualifications competence and also sustainable staff development. “We have young Papua New Guineans we are grooming to take over from us and to run the university in the future,” she said. Meanwhile, Minister for the Department of Higher Education Research Science and Technology and Sports, Don Polye commended the university for a great start and vowed the government and the department’s support. Polye said Information Communication Technology (ICT) industry was a very important model for development in the country given the era and age we were in and the country was slowly recognising the importance of ICT. “I am pleased to know that the WPU is and will be creating the avenue for Papua New Guineans who are interested in the ICT industry to take on the programmes that will be offered soon,” he said. “I spoke about the cyber security in the recent parliament sitting and hearing this amazes me. DHERST under my care will work closely with the WPU in ensuring these programmes are delivered.” The National / PNG Education News Next : PNG University Of Natural Resources & Environment Fee Structure 2023 Comments are closed.
