Southern Cross University

Bold, innovative and just 24 years of age – southern cross university is one of the Asia-pacific’s top 100 universities and one of the global’s top 50 era Y universities.
Southern Cross University began life as Lismore Teacher’s College in 1970. After a series of expansions and responses to government legislation for larger institutions in the 1970s and 1980s, a state review of higher education in northern New South Wales led to the announcement that a new university would be established there – and in 1994, Southern Cross University opened its doors.

Our contemporary campuses, with reason-constructed modern facilities, are positioned on the east coast of Australia, on the gold coast in Queensland, and in Lismore and coffs harbor in new south wales.

We have a large and diverse range of courses available online, offering interactive and immersive learning experiences wherever our students are.

Whether studying on-campus, online, or both, we deliver exciting, contemporary and high quality learning experiences.

We aim to produce graduates who are career ready, world ready and digitally literate, and who experience an academic environment distinctive for its personal approach.
