Preserve the natural world

As changes to the natural environment become more evident, biologists play a vital role in protecting, maintaining and restoring healthy ecosystems. Political pressure and environmental changes all over the world are leading to an increase in awareness and job opportunities for biologists. Safeguard our resources, plants, habitats and animal populations for future generations. You can choose to tailor your studies to reflect your passions: conservation biology, animal biology or plant biology. And when you graduate your work will be varied and constantly evolving, giving you the opportunity to have a positive and profound impact on our planet.

Multiply your career prospects

Are you a keen problem-solver? A career in mathematics will allow you to delve into the unanswered questions of life and come up with exciting solutions – applicable to the real world. Your practical skills will open doors with government and private research and development companies. You could work in programming, data analysis, financial modelling, logistics and planning, or market research in a range of industries like business, engineering or science. With Charles Sturt University, you will gain advanced problem-solving and complex reasoning skills, making you sought after and valued by employers.

Preserve our planet

An understanding of how our planet works – from the soil beneath our feet to the atmosphere above our heads – is key to ensuring our long-term future. Studying earth science gives you this knowledge, so you can have a positive impact upon our planet. You can tailor your learning to your interests and gain advanced knowledge in a wide range of industry, research and government settings. You could examine soil and water quality, management or policy. You could investigate the impact of climate change – and devise solution to mitigate and adapt to it. You could explore how history shapes environment. The choice is yours.

Master matter and manage materials

Explore the world around you in microscopic detail with a science degree from Charles Sturt University. Backed by the Royal Australian Chemical Institute, you'll learn a broad range of skills that will allow you to investigate the chemical properties and composition of matter, while developing solutions to real-world problems. You could go on to work in dynamic industries such as food production, environmental monitoring and management, forensics, toxicology, quality control or pharmaceuticals.

A universe of possibility

Physics is a part of, well, almost everything. You could investigate tiny subatomic particles, or the entire universe. You could propose theories, then explore them. Or develop new products that could make a difference to medicine, the military, or industry. Or change the way we see the world. Studying physics allows you to explore areas as diverse as astronomy, climatology, electrodynamics, nanotechnology, quantum mechanics and relativity. Then take your knowledge into a wide range of fields, like aviation, chemistry, computing, cosmology, dentistry, engineering, geology, medicine, radiography, or even finance. With physics you can do, well, almost anything.
