About the University ๐Ÿซ

โ€

Southern Cross University (SCU), in addition to its well-known campus on the Gold Coast, also has a campus in the natural beauty area of Lismore, at which you can also study at. The SCU, Gold Coast campus is divided into 3 different buildings where each and every single one of them offers innovative learning environments, modern labs adapted to various study areas and cosy student lounges. The facilities are frequently used by the total of nearly 5000 students studying at the SCU's Gold Coast campus.

โ€

A cool detail on campus is that it's 400 feet away from the water, so you get a perfect beach view from the classrooms. In addition, the campus is insanely close to the city's airport. This allows you to go to the airport with your suitcase rolling behind you right after school and fly off on weekend trips to nearby destinations with your fellow students.

โ€

SCU offers a wide range of programmes and courses in various fields, which increases your chances of finding something that suits you and your study desires.

โ€

Other than Uniclub's help from start to finish, you are also in good hands at SCU as they have been named No 1 in Australia in terms of 'International student support'.

I was looking for a freemover stay abroad through Uniclub and I got some of the best service I have experienced. They took care of all the practicalities, and removed almost all the hassle of work it can be to apply for an exchange stay.

Uniclub and Deni Isic, get my absolute warmest recommendation! I had a dream of coming to Japan that seemed distant and unmanageable, but Deni and the rest of Uniclub have helped me through the whole process.

I have just returned from my exchange stay in Ireland, which would not have been possible if it were not for Uniclub. If you are looking for an exchange as a freemover, then I can not recommend UniClub enough!
