University isn’t just for school leavers. Whether you’ve been working, raising a family, or exploring life, you bring valuable experience to your studies.
Our innovative
Southern Cross Model
is designed to balance study, work, and life, focusing on one or two units every six weeks to keep you on track without feeling overwhelmed. Whether reskilling, pursuing a passion, or advancing your career, our flexible programs equip you with practical skills and real-world knowledge to make an impact.
Southern Cross Uni also provides a range of student support services designed to help you succeed in your university studies, from academic assistance and career advice to health and well-being resources.
It’s never too late to pursue the future you’ve imagined. Take the first step with Southern Cross University.
“Studying under the Southern Cross Model means I can balance study with work and being present for my young family. The six-week terms make you stay on top of the weekly learning because it goes so fast you just dive straight in with two subjects at a time.”
