Université de la Polynésie Française
The Université de la Polynésie Française is a small university with around 2,000 students. It is located in Tahiti.
The university dates back to 1987 when the Université Française du Pacifique (French University of the Pacific) was created, with two centres, one in French Polynesia and the other in New Caledonia. In 1997 the decision was made to split the two parts into separate universities, and so it came about that in 1999 the Université de la Polynésie Française and the Université de la Nouvelle Calédonie were formed.
There are signifiers of a reasonable level of ICT - in particular WiFi, webmail, RSS and a Facebook page for the university.
