 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. Professor John Rickard |
