At Southern Cross University, we have transformed the way study is delivered. The Southern Cross Model delivers a deeper, immersive learning experience for students centred on greater interactivity and connection with real-world applications. The shorter, more focused six-week unit structure gives students a greater sense of momentum and motivation.

The University’s flexible study options include full-time and part-time enrolment, as well as online and on-campus courses, making it easier for students to tailor their education to their personal and professional commitments. Support services, including peer support, career counselling and workshops, are readily available to help students navigate their studies and plan for their futures.

Courses are typically structured to provide a blend of theoretical knowledge and practical experience, often incorporating work placements, internships, or hands-on projects. This approach ensures that graduates are well-prepared for the workforce, with relevant skills and real-world experience. The University’s Bachelor programs develop knowledgeable graduates and responsible global citizens ready to make a positive impact in their fields and communities.
