Brief information

According to AbbreviationFinder, Southern Cross University has built a solid reputation in Australia and is very well respected. It originally arose from the Lismore Teachers College, which already existed in 1970. After several reorganizations and renamings, it became the independent Southern Cross University in 1994 with several campuses that emerged from the decentralization of the University of New England. International students in particular are very welcome and encouraged at the university. You can do various undergraduate or postgraduate degrees, or just for one or two semesters

participate in campus life and take courses.

Everyone should leave the university with a good feeling and a sense of academic achievement. The degree programs and courses on offer come from the fields of Arts, Education, Social Sciences, Business, Tourism, Law, Health, Indigenous Studies and Environmental Science – so there should be something for everyone that suits their individual abilities. The university curriculum also includes a lot of practical relevance, making it easier to start your career later on. The name of Southern Cross University

Incidentally, refers to the constellation that appears in the night sky of the southern hemisphere and can also be seen on the Australian flag. It is a symbol of Australia’s national identity and progress and therefore fits in perfectly with the university’s image.

Campus

Southern Cross University has several campuses in the Australian territory of New South Wales. The main campus is in Lismore on the North Coast and houses most of the teaching and research facilities as well as student buildings and services.

Here you will also find hiking trails in the rainforest, many different plant and animal species and lush gardens. It is only about three kilometers to the city center.

Located in the heart of a popular tourist area just 400 meters from North Kirra Beach and overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the Gold Coast site is the university’s newest campus. In addition to some smaller subjects, the faculties of business and law are located here.

An associated facility on Brett Street in Tweed Heads is just a stone’s throw away and is the teaching site for several of the College’s other programmes

Also considered a popular tourist destination, Coffs Harbor is on the mid-north coast of New South Wales, midway between Sydney and Brisbane. The university campus is located here in an area with several educational institutions.

Finally, there is also a cooperation with the very centrally located Hotel School Sydney, where students can obtain a Bachelor of Business in Hotel Management.

The college town of Lismore

Lismore has 27,000 inhabitants in the Australian state of New South Wales on the east coast of the country.

The Wilsons River, which is a tributary of the Richmond River, flows alongside the city. Australia’s most easterly point, Byron Bay, is around 45 kilometers away and Sydney is only a three-hour drive; Brisbane is even quicker to reach at two and a half hours.

The climate in Lismore is subtropical, meaning warm and humid, and the surrounding countryside is considered well worth seeing.
As an artistic hub, the city has many galleries, theaters and studios, but there are also plenty of options for going out, such as the Winsome Hotel on Bridge Street, the nightclubs The One and The Standard or the university bar. Because the city is home to Southern Cross University’s main campus, you’ll see a lot of students or young people living here. But you can also go out for a leisurely meal, sit in a pub or go to a café.

The city’s economy is primarily focused on retail, healthcare, education and agriculture. Not least because of this you will find a whole range of markets such as The Channon Market, Bangalow Market, Byron Bay Market or Lismore Organic Farmers Market. The social climate is particularly friendly and newcomers are generally welcomed with open arms.
