The Bachelor of Contemporary Music has been ‘suspended’ from Southern Cross University’s Lismore campus, owing to ‘low demand’ from students, a spokesperson says.
In a statement, SCU’s Chief Marketing Officer, Dean Gould, says the course ‘continues to attract steady numbers at Southern Cross University’s Coomera campus on the Gold Coast, where it is also offered’.
Yet Gould did say the uni ‘continues to upgrade its mix of courses at the Lismore campus with veterinary sciences and physiotherapy on the horizon’.
He says a Veterinary Technology degree will be offered next year, and Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine in 2026.
‘There is no vet science degree course offering anywhere close to northern NSW, so this important career has, until now, called our local people away from the region,’ Mr Gould said.
New degrees
‘A Bachelor of Physiotherapy starts at the Southern Cross Coffs Harbour campus next year, and is planned to open at the Lismore campus in 2026’.
