Top 5 Reasons To Study at SCU

5. You can pick a campus to suit your vibe

One of the really cool things about SCU is that it’s what you’d call a multi-campus university. First of all, they have three main east coast campus locations: the sunny Gold Coast, lush Lismore, and gorgeous Coffs Harbour. Whether you’re looking for more of a city experience, or that small-town feel, you can find all of them with SCU. Plus, they have branch campuses in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and even in the Whitsundays (really!) that you could find yourself at depending on what you study.

4. You can access top-notch resources and facilities

SCU is doing some really interesting things to make sure their students have access to world-class facilities. One example would be the partnerships with different organisations to give you purpose-built branch campuses such as the Hotel School in the Whitsundays, or the National Marine Science Centre in Coffs Harbour. People studying STEM get access to fully equipped labs and technical equipment, while other paths get hands-on experience at facilities such as the SCU Health Clinic.

3. They’re one of the world’s best young universities

If you’re taking a look at SCU, it’s probably because you’re looking for something a bit different to the traditional uni experience. You’re looking for a uni that’s willing to adapt and change to the world around it, where you’re more than just a number, and where you can really get to know the campus community. Luckily, SCU has all of that in spades, and more - which is why they’re world-ranked in the Times Higher Ed Young Uni Rankings 2022. 



2. Students really rate the uni’s support networks and facilities

Student support is honestly super-underrated when it comes to overall uni impressions. There’s nothing worse than rocking up as a first year student and feeling utterly lost when it comes to building your academic program, accessing services or just adjusting to uni life. Students gave SCU a 5 star rating in the Good Universities Guide 2022 for their top-notch student support, saying they felt settled in, had a breezy enrollment process and had access to staff like career advisers, financial advisors and health services as well.

1. They’re changing the game when it comes to your study schedule

SCU does things a little differently to the other unis, but for good reason. Basically, you study one to two subjects per term for 6 weeks, 6 times per year. What it means for you is that you can really dive into two topics, rather than feeling like you’re being stretched across three or more units. There are also more flexible learning options, loads on on-demand resources and, get this - no lectures. SCU knows you have a whole life outside of study, so their model is built to put you in control of your learning experience.
