The Southern Cross Model
The Southern Cross Model is what sets SCU apart from the rest.
This new academic model allows students to focus on just one or two subjects at once, over a six-week teaching term, before moving on. This enables deeper learning as well as more control over when you study allowing you to create the ideal life balance.
It’s the future of study, with built-in flexibility.
