Pacific Studies

Pacific Studies can be done as undergraduate courses and postgraduate research. Undergraduate studies explore the navigation and settlement of the Pacific Ocean, the development of Pacific cultures and modern politics and security. Postgraduate research takes part in engaging research across multiple disciplines and students benefit from access to the Macmillan Brown Centre for Pacific Studies.
