“My favourite part about the course would be how much hands-on interaction I get, I grew up in the city so coming out here and getting to just play with things at the beach or go to a forest and do my lab work there is incredible.”

At Southern Cross University we're always looking for a better way to do things, that's why we created 'The Southern Cross Model'. By dividing the academic year into six-week terms, with a maximum of two subjects per term, students are better able to focus, dive deeply into the subject matter and really learn. The content is highly interactive, with real-world applications; and it leaves more time for the other things you love.
