Pathways to university

Build on your qualifications

Earning your Diploma qualifications in Beauty Therapy could well be just the first step on your education journey.

The French Beauty Academy and Southern Cross University (SCU) have developed an exciting, industry-first arrangement where students will be able to complete a Bachelor of Business, furthering management aspirations for graduates in the spa and wellness industry. For those students interested in this unique pathway, please contact the Future Students Team

Our current arrangement with the University, provides credit for the Diploma of Beauty Therapy (one semester), towards a Bachelor of Business in Tourism and Hospitality Management. As part of our arrangement, Southern Cross University plans to developing a new major in Spa and Wellness Management as an exciting new pathway for The French Beauty Academy students commencing in 2017.

Students will also have the exciting opportunity to do an international exchange in their second year of study with one of SCU’s international exchange partners. SCU also supports our students in securing internships during term breaks at hotel, spa and resort chains, which can also be credited towards their business degree.

For students who have already completed a Diploma of Beauty, an undergraduate degree at an approved institution, or have extensive work experience, SCU offers entry into a Graduate Certificate in Tourism and Hotel Management.
