It's your study, so it's your choice.
When you enrol as a student at Charles Sturt University, your educational adventure all comes down to you.
With more than 250 courses to choose from, six campuses located across regional New South Wales, flexibility to study on campus or online, and the option to take on full-time or part-time study.
Go full-time or part-time – it's totally up to you.
To make time spent at university a success, our learning framework needs to fit your lifestyle as much as you need to fit in with exams or assignments deadlines.
You can vary your study load to fit your course around your life — whatever turns it may take. Charles Sturt accepts student intakes each year, so you can start your study when you're ready.
We are everywhere.
Charles Sturt University has six main campuses to choose from located in regional Australia.
We also have partnerships with other educational organisations like TAFE, plus several international partner locations around the world.
Our network of campus locations, teaching facilities, industry partners and community links make Charles Sturt University the place to be to get where you want to go.
We know that not everyone is the same, so take your pick: on-campus or online. Are you:
- a busy professional working 9-5 wanting to build existing knowledge
- naturally curious and wanting to learn about your secret passion
- looking for something part-time that will slot in with a busy lifestyle
- someone that fits an entirely different profile altogether?
We're guessing you fall into the last option: everyone is different.
That’s why Charles Sturt has developed flexible learning options to cater to all types of people.
Our courses give you the flexibility to study on-campus or online. You'll learn from the same subject experts, using the same course material. Best of all, you're on the way to making your study ambitions become a reality.
Complementing online study
Some subjects in your course may include a compulsory or optional intensive school. This is your opportunity to come on campus for between one and five days for face-to-face learning with academics and other students in your course. And it gives you the opportunity to engage in practical learning, go deeper into course material and ask plenty of questions. You'll get to interact with your academic staff and peers, go to lectures, practicals and tutorials, and make use of a range of campus facilities. To find out if any subjects in your course have intensive schools, check the course page.
You'll need to factor in intensive school costs to your overall course costs; they're not automatically included. You can take advantage of our reasonably priced on-campus intensive school accommodation. What's more, to help make your intensive school experience that bit easier, we also have a range of grants and other financial assistance to give you a helping hand. For example, you may be eligible to apply for our Equity Grant to help with the cost of on-campus accommodation and a Fares Allowance to help with the cost of travel. And don't forget, you may be able to use your student travel concession to make getting there easier.
What type of degree are you?
It sounds like a quiz from a magazine. However, if you want to find your perfect course, it can help to know which degree your study match is: undergraduate, postgraduate, research degree, international or single-subject study.
