Southern Cross University was named after the constellation Southern Cross. This group of stars is best seen only in the night skies of the Southern Hemisphere and has been used by generations of explorers to help them find their way on countless voyages of discovery.  The University recognizes that Study Abroad students want to experience as much of the lifestyle, culture and environment of Australia as possible during their time at the University. To facilitate this, a number of excursions and activities are arranged throughout each semester to the Gold Coast, Byron Bay, local national parks and other well known areas. The University is a popular destination for students who are seeking a non-city experience, the opportunity to discover the true culture, environment and hospitality of Australia. It offers subjects in areas typically of interest to study abroad students, and is situated in one of Australia's most beautiful locations. cricos 02141G Semester or Year Abroad at Southern Cross University Degree Programs at Southern Cross University |
