Welcome from the Vice-Chancellor and President

To all commencing and returning students I would like to bid you a very sincere welcome.

There have been many exciting developments at Southern Cross University over the past two years. We have opened the new Tweed Gold Coast campus that provides students with some of the most modern facilities and equipment in the country. We have embarked upon collaborative projects with some of Australia’s most prestigious universities: the University of Sydney, the University of Queensland, and the University of New South Wales, in the areas of allied health and complementary medicine. We have also partnered with the University of New England to establish what is sure to become the country’s premier marine research centre, the National Marine Science Centre at Coffs Harbour.

All of these things point to a vibrant young university working with industry and higher education sector leaders to deliver innovative, exciting programs.

Combining our popular, relevant undergraduate and postgraduate degree courses with our commitment to continuing to enhance student services and support, all in one of the country’s most exciting regions, and you have an educational experience you’ll remember for the rest of your life.
