Experience matters (Defence entry program)

Charles Sturt University's Experience Matters program is a pathway into university for veterans and serving military personnel.

If you have served in the Australian Defence Force, you'll get special consideration for entry into most of our courses. Even if you haven't got an ATAR, you are still eligible. We'll use your rank and length of service to work out an equivalent.

You can usually study online. However, many of our campuses are close to military bases, making face-to-face study an option for those deployed in the regions. And if your studies get interrupted by military service, we'll provide special consideration, which could take the form of extensions, revised exam dates, or approved withdrawal from subjects.

Because your experience serving your country matters.
