The Six-Week Revolution: Mastering the Art of Deep Focus
The Six-Week Revolution: Mastering the Art of Deep Focus Southern Cross University (SCU) is home to a “revolutionary academic model” that is unique in Australia: the Southern Cross Model. This model replaces long, often-distracting semesters with intensive six-week terms, where students focus on fewer units at a time. Success through Immersive Learning This focus on “immersive learning experiences” has led to over 90% of graduates finding employment within four months. The university argues that deep focus leads to better academic results and a more thorough understanding of real-world scenarios. Living Laboratories of the East Coast With campuses in the Gold Coast, Lismore, and Coffs Harbour, SCU uses its unique locations as “living laboratories”. This allows students in marine and environmental sciences to study right next to ecosystems of great natural beauty and ecological diversity. Takeaway Is “deep focus” the cure for the modern student’s distracted mind, and can it lead to a higher salary?
