Southern Cross University offers semester study abroad programs that focus on academic achievement. Southern Cross not only provides an academic classroom setting but also offers a special highly subsidized one week 4-wheel drive camping excursion for study abroad students. The trip varies depending on the preferences of students with a range of options available.  The University is a popular destination for study abroad students who are seeking a unique experience with the opportunity to discover the true culture, environment and hospitality.

At Southern Cross University, students have the option of choosing between three different campuses.
Lismore
 The University's largest campus (6,000 students) is in the city of Lismore.  Lismore is a small university city of 45,000 people with all the services of a large city but with far more relaxed lifestyle.  It is perfectly located only 45 minutes from Byron Bay and 75 minutes by car south of the Gold Coast.  If you wish to also experience Australia's capital cities, regular daily flights operate between Lismore and Sydney (90 minutes) while Brisbane is only 2.5 hours away by car.
Coffs Harbour

The Coffs Harbour campus is located on the mid north coast of New South Wales 3 kms from the Coffs Harbour central business district.  It is a modern facility located in an educational precinct shared with other education providers.

 

Coffs Harbour is a beachside city of 65,000 people with close proximity to a stunning diversity of environments, from rainforest to coastal health, farmland and pristine beaches.  The campus is also affiliated with the nearby National Marine Science Centre.
