Southern Cross University (SCU)

Please do not enrol if you value your mental health. The Professional Experience Team, which is supposed to find you a placement, is highly incompetent! They never respond to emails, not even once. They only send generic automatic replies. You’re expected to start on a certain date, so you take leave, and then it gets postponed. Then they tell you a new start date, only to postpone it again, week after week. In the end, you receive a generic email saying you can defer..
This is completely unprofessional, and I honestly don't know what they’re doing there..
If the Professional Experience Team cannot fulfil their responsibilities, then they need to either:
A) Hire more staff
B) Accept fewer students
Unbelievable! This entire experience has caused me immense stress and severely affected my mental health, all because of their incompetence. I would not recommend this university to anyone. If you value your mental well-being, please find a different university. This has been an absolute nightmare!

In the past twelve years, I studied at four different universities including Macquarie University, Curtin University, University of South Australia and Southern Cross University and personally found that the professors or teachers at University of South Australia and Southern Cross University are unbiased and respecting other cultures and treating all students are equal. This is extremely important to a students likes me who’s first language isn’t English.

Do not enrol with this university, their marking system is poor , the lecturers are biased if you notice same work some people will get more MARKS than the other. It all depends if the lecturer likes you or not. THey do not care about you. As soon as you fail one unit you will be put on intravention strategy. Better go to a reputable university/top university in the area as they have fair rules.
