Southern Cross University is a different kind of university. We combine academic and research excellence with outstanding learning opportunities and a commitment to what matters, from protecting and managing our precious natural environments to understanding and advancing our human world.

All three of our main campuses at Coffs Harbour, Gold Coast and Lismore offer something unique, thanks to the vibrant communities that live in these subtropical areas. Our locations have a profound influence on our teaching and academic programs, from degrees that consider ecological tourism and sustainable farming and forestry, to marine science that is helping to regenerate the reef and engineering that is making our urban environments smarter.

We know that the journey to university starts way before finishing high school, and we are honoured to be part of it. We proudly support and encourage our young thinkers, problem solvers and change makers and can’t wait for them to join us in the next generation of university education.
