RichieUniversity of Wisconsin-Stout (USA)“Studying abroad at Southern Cross
University Lismore has been such a lifechanging experience for me! It has givenme the opportunity to learn abroad while

MaddieUniversity of Wisconsin-La Crosse (USA)

Adrian’s Story“I grew up in Mexico and the US (West Coast Best Coast). My study journey began in
San Francisco, made its way to Madrid, before settling down on the Gold Coast.
I was originally only supposed to be in Australia for a year on a study abroad
program, but I enjoyed the lifestyle and studying at Southern Cross so much that I
decided to stay to finish my degree.
The Gold Coast is just amazing, from the coast, to the mountains, and the people
that live here. Having grown up next to the beach, it’s saying a lot when I say I enjoy
the Gold Coast beaches more.

“Adventure isn’t solely outside, it is within. I
can feel it, you can see it.”

English for Academic Purposes (EAP) prepares students
for study at Southern Cross University. Our intensive EAP
program runs three times a year, just before university
classes begin. EAP builds on existing English language
abilities in reading, writing, speaking and listening. It
then develops students’ academic and digital literacy
practices, including: researching, referencing, notetaking, using the Southern Cross University Learning
Management System and giving presentations.
Admission requirements: Students will be assigned to an
appropriate English language level based on proficiency
scores (e.g. SCU College English Language Test, IELTS)
presented on application. Successful completion of
EAP provides direct entry to a range of Southern Cross
University degrees.
