Dean’s message
Professor Dr. Md Parves Sultan
Dean
Southern Cross Education Institute Higher Education
I welcome you to the Southern Cross Education Institute – Higher Education division (SCEI-HE). The courses we are currently offering include the Bachelor of Health and Community Services, Bachelor of Early Childhood Education and Graduate Diploma of Early Childhood Education.
These courses provide excellent value and job prospects in Australia. The most attractive part of the courses is the practical or hands-on professional experience through work placements. The experiential nature of our courses through external placement opportunities is mainly designed to bring study and real-world experience together, and often this results in full-time and part-time work opportunities for our students. The courses we offer are accredited by relevant government agencies, professional and industrial bodies.
We are committed to providing you with a collaborative and active learning environment, fostering a culture of scholarship in teaching, learning and research in our curriculum and pedagogy. This is also supported by academic integrity and continuous improvement in your learning experience and professional development. Our teaching teams are highly qualified and experienced, and some have PhDs in relevant areas of teaching and research. The SCEI-HE teaching team comprises some of the most dedicated team members you will love to learn with.
SCEI-HE is envisioned to be regarded by stakeholders as a respected, ethical, innovative, and sustainable national quality higher education provider through a supportive learning environment focusing on knowledge and practical skills and promoting academic excellence.
The six core SCEI-HE values are excellence, inclusivity, communities, accountability, partnership, and academic freedom and freedom of opinion. We have five campuses in Melbourne and Adelaide, and we are growing. We will have another campus in Sydney soon. SCEI-HE will add four new Bachelor and Master level courses in the Education and Social Work areas.
Having you on board means we are responsible for preparing and guiding you for your career. You are our pride, and it is my pleasure to support your future endeavours.
