Find Your Path to University Success
At Southern Cross University, we believe there is more than one way to achieve your dreams. Your journey to a university degree is unique, and we’re here to support you every step of the way. If you're a school leaver, you can apply with your Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) through Tertiary Admissions Centres like UAC or QTAC or directly through the University.
Preparation programs:
- Transition to Uni: A fast-track fee-free option for school leavers eager to get started. This six-week program starting in January, equips you with essential skills for your studies.
- Preparing for Success Program (PSP): Designed for any age in life, this fee-free program is tailored to help you refresh your skills and ease back into study over a three-month period.
Diplomas:
- If you're still deciding on your career path or looking to change career, diplomas are a fantastic option. Diplomas allow you to explore your interests, gain valuable knowledge, and earn credit into a bachelor’s degree. It’s a great way to confirm you’ve chosen the right path before committing to a full degree.
