Southern Cross University has campuses in Gold Coast, Sydney, Perth, and Melbourne providing the flexibility of location. Further, there are three sessions per year for additional choices of units for every session. The lectures are online recorded and two-hour tutorials take place on the local campus every week.
Course Curriculum
The faculty in the Melbourne campus where I take classes are all very professional and experienced people in their respective fields. The unit assessors from Gold Coast, the main campus, give us online lectors every week.
Exams
The minimum score required is IELTS with at least 6.0 in each band. The applicant also has to complete a bachelor's degree before joining this program. I have a bachelor's degree in Engineering and wanted a business degree to complement my technical skills. I took the IELTS test and had a score of 8.0 with 2.7 CGPA in my bachelor's degree. This helped me get a scholarship of 10% for my first year of study.
Placement
The college provides counselling and support for professional development and job hunting processes including weekly workshops for resumes, application, and interviews required to secure a job in Australia. Further, there is a career site where students and Alumni can connect for discussions.
Fees
The current tuition fees are $3750 per unit of study for a Masters's degree. The total fee per session depends on how many units you are enrolled in. International students can get scholarships of up to 25% based on their previous studies and test scores. I was awarded a 10% scholarship on tuition fees based on my IELTS score.
