Message from the Vice ChancellorThe Solomon Islands National University (SINU) was officially inaugurated in 2013 by amalgamating three higher educational institutes and is now the leading national university of the Solomon Islands. Its vision is to be the prime intellectual thrust of the nation while providing advanced knowledge and skills through teaching, and research leading to the development of the future thought leaders of the country..
SINU is established in beautiful and picturesque locations consisting of three campuses named Kukum, Panatina and Ranadi with plans to extend to the provinces. It is the only national university in the Solomon Islands and consists of five different Faculties, nine Schools and thirty-eight Departments with various institutes, and colleges catering to a diverse range of discipline areas for the nation’s educational needs.
The SINU offers a combination of TVET programmes, associate degrees, and undergraduate and postgraduate programs. The SINU is a medium-scale university which has a student population of over 8,000 coming from all over the country, from various socio-cultural, ethnic and linguistic backgrounds, and fosters social harmony, cultural diversity, equal opportunities and unity.
The prime objective of the SINU is to always make a significant contribution to the knowledge sector by producing a competent workforce with global employability skills necessary for the country to build the nation and region. In Solomon Island, the scenario of higher education is in a transformational phase, as compared to the rest of the world. Thus, SINU must be ready to make innovative reforms to face the demands of the rapidly changing global environment being compounded by the impacts of climate change, while preserving its inherent social, and cultural norms and values. SINU must produce future thought leaders who possess critical thinking skills, imbued with a strong sense of ethics and values in good governance to ensure Solomon Islands is able to meet the challenges of the impacts of climate change, rising population and globalization.
SINU must be innovative and invest in emerging technologies to be the best in teaching, research and dissemination of new knowledge and innovations in Solomon Islands and in this regard must seek to develop strong partnerships with the industry, government Ministries, academia, Donors and overseas universities to achieve this aspiration. SINU must develop its programmes and research capabilities to a level where it can offer joint awards with regional and world-class universities to give it international recognition and credibility.
As the newly appointed Vice Chancellor, I am committed to provide the necessary leadership to achieve the goals and objectives in line with the Vision and Mission of the Solomon Island National University, as stipulated in its Strategic Plan 2021-2025 to ensure the future thought leaders of Solomon Islands are critical thinkers
I can assure you that during my tenure, the University will develop a new area under the theme of Socio-Academic Integrity and Responsibility to produce future leaders who value ethics in the workplace, good governance and critical thinkers. Under this theme, SINU will generate ideas which would eventually be converted into activities that benefit nations and educate and train undergraduates to be more socially responsible. Together, we will raise the SINU to a higher position in academia by achieving the utmost educational outcomes.
