As kids, we have big dreams.

We want to change the world.

The years go by and we develop ideas about what we want to be when we grow up. We discover our passions – perhaps being involved in the creative arts, helping others, inspiring the next generation or making new discoveries. We want to leave our mark on the world.

When I grow up, I want to be...Now you’re thinking about going to uni and planning how you’ll achieve your goals (and how to have lots of fun along the way!).

This is where CSU can help, offering a great place to start exploring where your passions can take you.

Our graduates get jobs.

We believe getting a job at the end of your studies is really important. CSU is consistently ranked one

of the best universities in Australia for graduate employment, so there’s a great chance you will be

working in your industry within a few months of finishing your course, if not before.

We recognise your true potential.

At CSU, we value the whole person, not just your marks at school. As well as your marks, we can

consider your curiosity, passion and commitment to your studies, your sporting achievements and

involvement in your community.

We all learn by doing. Keep up the excitement with plenty of hands-on

experience, often from the first year of your course. By actually doing the job you’re studying

towards, you’ll graduate with great experience under your belt.

Your lecturers have experience working in

your dream job.

Many of our teaching staff have actually worked in the fields they teach –

and many still do! They’ll give you some real insights into your chosen career, great tips for getting a job and the reassurance that what you’re learning will be relevant

in your career.

Campus life is fun and exciting.

We have a rating for student retention, which means once students come to CSU, they want to stay.

Many of our students move away from home to come to CSU, but our great support systems help you succeed. You can join social or sporting activities to make lifelong friends, and our friendly regional communities are great

places to live!

Studying at CSU

You can book a campus tour by calling CSU on 1800 334 733 or visiting: www.csu.edu.au/campustour

This is a great way to see our facilities for yourself.

At CSU, we are passionate about what we do, and that is to prepare our students for life.

When you graduate with your CSU degree, you’ll be ready to take on the world; help tackle shortages in the workforce in regional communities; work in a major city; get a job with an international company; or contribute your skills in developing countries.

How will I learn?Studying at CSU is about more than just textbooks. We want you to enjoy what you’re learning and find out what it’s really like to work in your chosen field. So while you’ll still have to read, write essays and sit examinations, you’ll also have plenty of opportunities to put that theory into practice. Almost all of CSU’s undergraduate degrees include some practical work or placement, giving you more hands-on experience than most other universities. This is your time to really shine.

Our state-of-the-art learning and teaching spaces reflect the latest equipment being used in the workplace. Depending on your course, you could:

• design, direct and produce television shows in ‘TV Land’, our on campus studios and editing suites

• spend time on stage or constructing a set and costumes

• work with real clients in our allied health, dentistry and oral health clinics

• carry out experiments in a laboratory

• conduct exercise and fitness testing

• build a software program, design a system or develop a computer game.

Beyond our campuses, you could:

• enjoy a mixture of practical and hands-on learning to complement the theory you are learning

• get into the classroom on teaching rounds

• complete a placement or internship with businesses in the community

• participate in field trips and site visits to farms, heritage sites or national parks.

You might even be able to do some of your practical placements overseas, getting great experience and travelling the world while having it count towards your degree!

Lectures: You’ll be part of a group of students from your course or related courses, with a lecturer at the front giving a presentation on a particular topic

Tutorials: These are smaller groups and often run at different times so you can structure your timetable to suit you. You might complete case studies or have group discussions, make presentations to the class, and have the chance to ask questions about anything you don’t understand

Practical classes: Most CSU courses include some practical classes where you’ll learn how to use equipment or software, gain clinical experience or develop your technical skills. You could complete mock workplace presentations or work with real clients. Practical experiences could be a in a laboratory, clinic, simulated setting or even out in the field

Workplace learning: This is a big part of many CSU courses. You could complete placements in real workplaces, businesses and organisations in the community, metropolitan locations or even overseas, as well as gaining practical experience in CSU’s clinics and facilities along the way

Using technology: Each subject has its own website where you access study materials, communicate with other students and your lecturers, or check your subject outlines to keep track of important dates. You can log on at any time, anywhere. CSU’s online subject resources are also set up to be easily accessed using mobile devices, like your smartphone.

Why wait until you graduate to see what it’s like to work in your industry? At CSU, we believe you need to know from the start that you’re on the right path, and understand the opportunities your course could offer. This will help give you an end goal and make all that hard work and study more worthwhile.

Through CSU’s integrated workplace learning, you get experience working in a real workplace – and sometimes this can even lead to a job offer!

These days it is common (and normal) for people to change careers several times. If you’ve already got a degree, but you’re considering a change of direction, ask CSU about your options for graduate entry into a new degree. See page 25 or call 1800 334 733 to see what you could do with two degrees!

What if I need flexibility?We know you’ll have a great time on campus at CSU, but we’re also really well known for our flexibility. In some courses, you can take advantage of our subjects offered by distance education to free up your schedule or to study a subject not offered on your campus.

If you study by distance education:

• subject materials are provided online – including lecture notes or presentations that are delivered to students on campus

• you don’t have to attend classes for that subject (although you might spend a few days at a residential school)

• you can study at night, on weekends or any time and place that suits you

• you’ll be able to share experiences with students on other campuses using online meetings, forums and communication tools.

To find out more, visit: www.csu.edu.au/distance-education

Preparing you for your careerCSU has great relationships with accreditation bodies, government and industry. We work with them to develop new degrees and regularly consult them when we review courses. This means when you enrol at CSU, you can be confident your course is up-to-date and that you’ll graduate with the skills employers want.

Our courses meet or exceed the requirements for registration with professional bodies in Australia. This registration is essential for you to be allowed to work in many fields, like allied health, dentistry, psychology, teaching or veterinary science. Some degrees at CSU also allow you to register to work internationally.

When you study at CSU, you don’t do it alone. Starting from O Week, when you’ll quickly build a network of friends, you will have access to a range of support services. You can talk to someone face-to-face, or if it suits you better, pick up the phone or jump online.

Visit: www.csu.edu.au/oncampus/student-support

You will always find a friendly face at Student Central who will be able to help you with issues like accessing CSU webpages, checking your enrolment, or booking appointments for counselling or other services. You can visit Student Central in person during business hours, or phone them during extended hours. If you ever have a question and don’t know who to ask, Student Central is the best place to start.

Learning Skills SupportAt CSU we understand writing a uni essay can be quite different to any assignments you have done at school. Referencing, structuring an essay or even understanding how to get ready for exams can be a little daunting at first. Learning Skills Support at CSU helps make it easier, with workshops and one-on-one appointments to help you get your head around what’s expected. You can go to a group session or discuss your questions on a forum, or make an appointment for individual support face-to-face or using Skype, email, phone or live chat. You could also consider doing a STUDY LINK subject – see page 21.

eSTUDENT SupportCSU provides lots of study materials and resources online, so it’s important you can find your way around the website and subject sites. That’s why CSU offers eSTUDENT Support, so if you can’t find what you need, you can get a helping hand learning your way around online. If you want some great tips to make the most of your online time or to make sure you know where to find all the resources you need, eSTUDENT Support is available face-to-face, online, by phone or Skype.

Library servicesLearning Commons provide flexible spaces for you to study at a time that suits you. Open extended hours (and around the clock on some campuses), Learning Commons give you access to computers and printers, or you can bring your laptop and connect to the Wi-Fi. You can book a group study space, or, if you prefer to work alone, you’ll find the perfect quiet corner for that too. You’ll also be able to get food and drinks nearby to fuel your study.

Learning Commons are located right near Student Central and on campus libraries, so everything you need is in one place. CSU’s libraries contain hundreds of thousands of books, journals, multimedia resources and eBooks, as well as offering access to a huge range of online journal articles.

When you start an assignment, make the library your first stop. Helpful staff will point you in the right direction to access all the resources you need. You can visit in person, or many resources can be accessed online through the CSU website from home. The ‘Ask a Librarian’ service is available using either live chat or a web form so, if you’re stuck, you can easily get help to find what you’re looking for.

Support in your studies

Don’t be afraid to ask for help if you need it when you

start at uni. Your lecturers, tutors and classmates can be

great sources of support, and

want to see you succeed!

Check out Clubs DayHeld early in Session 1, Clubs Day is your chance to sign up for a range of student clubs and societies. There are clubs for some courses (like the Student Dental Association, Green Adventure People (GAP) or Pharmers Society), cultural and religious clubs, social clubs and sporting pursuits, and they’re a great way to get involved in uni life. Clubs are different on each campus, depending on interest and the courses offered.

Visit: www.csu.edu.au/oncampus/campus-life

If you play sport for CSU, even just socially, you could have the chance to represent CSU at the University Games, competing against other universities in serious and fun sports ranging from netball or touch football to Ultimate Frisbee.

“There are many events for all kinds of people throughout the year, which are a great way to get together and meet new people. CSU also runs sporting competitions such as mixed netball and touch football which are a heap of fun.”

Regional communities are known for their friendly and welcoming atmosphere, and our campuses are no different. Many of our students move away from home to come to CSU, so if you don’t know anyone when you first come on campus, there will be plenty of people in the same boat and you’ll quickly have a new circle of friends.

Our campuses are amazing – you’ll have the space to kick a footy or relax in the sun, quiet places to catch up on your reading, and food outlets to grab a snack, lunch or coffee. They’re places where people will smile and say hello as they walk past (even to complete strangers) and your teaching staff genuinely want to help you succeed.

What’s uni life like?Part-time workYou might want to get a part-time job to help fund all the exciting stuff at uni. The amount of hours you can work may vary depending on your course, and you may also need to make time for work placements or voluntary work too. Many of our students do balance part-time work with their study commitments, and with good time management and organisational skills, this can be a great way to keep your finances under control.

Also check the requirements for Youth Allowance, AUSTUDY and ABSTUDY to see if you qualify for any of these payments while you’re studying.

Visit: www.studyassist.gov.au

Contribute to campus and city lifeIf you want to have a positive impact on the world around you, it all starts at CSU. You’ll be surprised at the opportunities in our campus cities, right on your doorstep. There are many local charities and organisations that are really active in our tight-knit regional communities, and would love you to contribute your skills and enthusiasm to their projects.

You can also get involved in fundraising events and activities on campus, or participate in CSU Green initiatives to help look after the environment – this could be as simple as thinking about your recycling habits or getting your hands dirty on a tree planting day.

Your study schedule

Depending on your course,

you could have classes every

day or just a couple of days a

week. Typically science-based

courses that require lots of time in

laboratories or where you need to

develop technical skills will have

more class time. You will also

need to make time for your own

study each week for each subject

to review your notes, complete

assignments and prepare for

examinations. It’s expected you’ll

spend about eight or 10 hours

each week in total for each subject

– including classes, assignments

and your own study.

As tempting as all the social invitations can be, try to schedule study time most

days each week. You’ll find it much easier to do a little bit regularly than trying to cram a whole session of learning in

just before exams!

Make CSU your home

There are so many options – you can choose whether you want to cook for yourself or have meals provided, keep your room in the session break or go home, share bathroom facilities or have the luxury of an ensuite.

The perks:

• classes are just a short walk from your home on campus

• it’s safe – security services patrol our campuses (and can even help if you lock yourself out of your room!)

• share common areas and kitchen facilities, but enjoy the privacy of your own bedroom and study nook

• utility costs are included in your accommodation fee, so you don’t have to stress about bills

• you won’t have to come up with a bond payment like a private rental

• rooms are fully furnished with a bed, desk, cupboards, shelves and a bar fridge

• some of our newer residences have ensuite rooms, if sharing a bathroom isn’t for you.

Package One: You just pay for accommodation during session. In the holidays, you can leave your belongings in a locked cupboard, and other people may use your room for residential school accommodation. This option is great if you plan to head home in uni breaks, as you only pay for the time you need to be on campus

Package Two: You have full access to your room from O Week until exams finish at the end of the year, so if you get a part-time job or just want to hang out with your new friends, you can stay on campus for the session breaks too.

Catered: This is ideal if you’re not confident in the kitchen, or just want the convenience of not having to plan a weekly menu. You’ll have meals provided in a central dining room, or can use meal credits at other venues on campus.

Your meal optionsSelf-catered: This could be for you if you love cooking or want to develop your skills, or prefer the independence of being able to eat what you want, when you want, without working around set meal schedules. You’ll share kitchen facilities with other students and cook your own meals.

Semi-catered: This option provides the best of both worlds. You have the convenience of having some meals included in your package for those times when you don’t feel like cooking, as well as the flexibility of cooking your own food when you have time. It’s also a great way to ease into cooking for yourself, without the pressure of making meals every night.

live oncampus

CSU has the largest range of on campus accommodation of any university in Australia, with almost 3,000 rooms across five of our campuses.

You can choose to buy an upgraded meal option, giving you additional meal points for meals in catered dining rooms, or flexi points to use at outlets all over campus. See what suits

you and your budget.For more information visit: www.csu.edu.au/oncampus/accommodation

Residential supportMoving onto campus could be the first time you have lived away from home, and it can be a big step if you don’t have any familiar faces around. That’s why each accommodation area has Residential Advisers. These are senior students who have already lived on campus and know what it’s all about, and their job is to help you settle in and answer any questions you might have about living on campus, or about life at CSU more generally.

CSU staff can also provide residential support and ensure everything to do with your on campus accommodation is running smoothly.

There’s more information online, or download the ResLIFE booklet at: www.csu.edu.au/oncampus/accommodation

It’s not always possible to see inside CSU’s student accommodation when you take a campus tour. After all, you probably wouldn’t want people popping into your lounge room unannounced. But if you’re curious about what the buildings are like inside, try booking your tour in uni holidays, or access virtual tours online at: www.csu.edu.au/virtual-tour

Important! Accommodation is allocated on a first in, best dressed basis, so apply as soon as you receive an offer to study at CSU! Visit: www.csu.edu.au/oncampus/accommodation

A regular cleaning service will visit your building to clean common areas like lounges and bathrooms, however you DO still have to do your own laundry.

Invest in clothes that don’t need ironing (a whole uni session is a bit long to wait

to take it all home to Mum...)

Financial supportBeing a uni student doesn’t have to mean living on canned tuna and two-minute noodles. CSU has a range of grants and financial support to help take the stress out of managing your budget.

You might be able to apply for grants for things like relocating to study at CSU, buying computer equipment and accessing the internet, or attending professional placements. If the unexpected happens, you could also be eligible for emergency cash grants.

Loans may be available to help with accommodation off campus, buying textbooks, travel expenses for workplace learning, or general living expenses, and these are repaid in instalments. Remember to apply for as many scholarships as you can – these can provide a handy lump sum of cash to help you out as well.

CounsellingIf you’re having a tough time, CSU is here to help – even if it’s not related to your studies. You can access free counselling services to talk about anything from personal issues to financial or study difficulties. You may also be able to apply for special consideration if you’re going through some hard times affecting your studies.

Equity supportCSU’s equity support can help if your situation means you could be at a disadvantage in your studies. For example, if you’re from a non-English speaking background or have a disability, CSU can help you out with additional support or advocacy. If you have any special requirements, contact an equity officer at CSU to find out more about how we can help.

Indigenous Student Services

If you’re from an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander background, you’ll find plenty of support on campus at CSU (as well as by phone or email). You can get a hand with the enrolment process and, once you’re on campus, you can visit dedicated study centres and lounges. Here you’ll find facilities to make a cuppa and relax, as well as computers and free printing. Plus, you can book in for extra help with your uni subjects through the Indigenous Tutorial Assistance Scheme, or access Away From Base grants to help with the costs associated with some courses. For more information about how Indigenous Student Services can help you get the best out of CSU, visit: www.csu.edu.au/for/indigenous-students

Check out page 99 for information about the Darrambal Skills Assessment Program. If you’re from an Indigenous background, this program could be your key to enrolling at CSU.

Get a head-start on uni with a STUDY LINK subject. These enabling subjects cover different areas like English, chemistry, physics or statistics, so you can brush up on the skills you need to succeed in your course. You can even complete a STUDY LINK subject in the break over the summer, so you’re ready to go when you start your degree.

Students who are enrolled in a Commonwealth supported place at CSU can enrol in STUDY LINK subjects free, but you can pay to do them even if you’re going to another uni too. Visit: www.csu.edu.au/studylink

Many of CSU’s international programs make a real difference to the communities you visit, providing services and opportunities that may not otherwise have been available. These experiences also give you something unique to talk about in a job interview, making you stand out from other applicants.

Travel the world...

“The uni I attended was Trent University at Peterborough, which is about an hour from Toronto, Canada. Key highlights would be experiencing the cold weather and snow. It got to minus 25 degrees in December before I left. I joined the uni rowing team, which enabled me to travel to regattas at new places each week, but we trained every morning at 5.30am, which was hard sometimes! I made a lot of friends from all over the world and still keep in contact with them on a regular basis. I would highly recommend student exchange as it opens the door to the rest of the world, allowing you to meet many different people and see a lot of sights you will always remember.”

Heath McWhirter, student exchange participant

Going to uni doesn’t mean you have to postpone that dream of heading off on the trip of a lifetime. While many students do take a gap year before continuing their studies, at CSU you can have the best of both worlds. You can get started on your degree, but still have opportunities to travel, and even get credit towards your course from your international experiences.

From the early stages of your degree right through to postgraduate study, you are eligible to apply for a range of international programs through CSU Global. You could jet off for a session or two on exchange at one of CSU’s partner institutions all over the world; go on a study tour during the holidays; or complete some of your practical placements in an exotic location (how does Vanuatu sound...?).

CSU is proud to be an Australian university, but we also have connections all over the globe so you can give your degree an international flavour.

and much, much more!

Depending on your course, you could:

• experience the world of theatre and performance in Thailand

• deliver health care programs to disadvantaged communities in India

• explore business practices and gain cultural perspectives in Asia

• teach children in schools across a multitude of countries worldwide

• explore ecotourism in East Timor

The best part is you could be eligible for grants or travel scholarships from CSU or other bodies to help with the costs of these experiences!

“At Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Canada, I lived on campus with three other girls. Our windows faced the surrounding forest so we had many sightings of native wildlife from black bears, deer, squirrels and the occasional woodpecker. During winter I got to experience some extreme living conditions unheard of in Australia; roads being cleared of snow, ice on the pathways, frozen lakes, digging cars out of the snow, commuting to classes by underground tunnels, making snowmen and trudging through the deep snow. If you are considering going on exchange I would say go for it. It is an opportunity of a lifetime.”

Karen Scott, student exchange participant

“CSU Global gave me the opportunity to live and study in Paris, France for my second-last session. I’d always wanted to live overseas and CSU’s support meant I was able to do so while also furthering my studies.

“I made so many friends from around the world, travelled the UK and Europe and spent ANZAC Day at Gallipoli. I’ve come away from exchange with so many memories as well as a bucket load of life experience. Every student should do it!”

Emily Parr, student exchange participant

Dear future CSU student,

If you have the opportunity to go

on exchange, I would definitely

recommend that you take on the

challenge. For me, every moment

was unbelievable. I challenged

myself, I took myself out of my

little box in Australia, made new

friends, got to travel and grew as

a person as well as academically

from this experience.

Hope to see you soon,

Lauren Stephenson,

student exchange participant

CSU Global is continually expanding its programs to provide diverse opportunities for CSU students, so keep your eyes peeled for new opportunities all the time.

• be curious! What gets you excited, or what jobs do you think you’d like to explore? If you’re really interested in what you are studying, chances are you’ll do well

Choosing a courseThese days there are so many things you can study at uni. CSU offers lots of courses, with something to suit almost anyone, even if you already have a degree.

So how do you decide which course is right for you? • talk to people. Ask parents

and friends about their jobs. Talk to people about jobs you think would be fun, or ask people what they love about their work. You might see a pattern of what sparks your interest. Maybe they’re all jobs where you get to help people, get out of the office into the great outdoors, or be creative. This can be a great starting point

• ask questions. Have a chat to your careers adviser at school, visit one of CSU’s prospective student advisers, or pick up the phone and give us a call on 1800 334 733 to talk about your passions and options

• see for yourself. Take a campus tour with a current student, or attend a MyDay event in a field you think you’d like to study (see page 98). This will give you a chance to see the facilities, find out more about what it’s like to be a CSU student, explore your career options, and possibly talk to academic staff so you can gain some real insights into our courses.

keep an open mind – look at all your options and talk about

your interests

follow the things you love to do – whether they’re subjects at

school, or hobbies

think about your strengths – what are you good at?

try to get some work experience in different fields

read up on courses that interest you in university publications,

the UAC Guide and online, then give CSU a call

choose a course because it’s something you’re passionate

about – not just because it’s what someone else thinks you

should do

follow your own path. Remember going to uni is about your

future and your career, so you don’t have to go along with

what your friends are planning to study

be prepared to work hard. Even a course that sounds ‘easy’

or ‘fun’ will still have assignments.

Some tips to help you choose...

DON’T• feel like you have to apply for a course that matches your

ATAR. There’s nothing wrong with applying for a course that

needs a lower ATAR if it’s what you really want to do

• get discouraged. If you don’t get into your preferred course,

there are other options. Just give us a call!

Graduate entry coursesIf you already have an undergraduate qualification, you could be eligible for graduate entry to another CSU degree. This can be a great way to add another string to your bow or make a career change, with credit in many cases so you won’t have to complete a full program of study.

Specific graduate entry courses are available in:

• Bachelor of Education (Birth to Five Years)

• Bachelor of Teaching (Primary)

• Bachelor of Teaching (Secondary)

We’d love you to talk to us about your options.P

Double degreesAn important thing to note about double degrees is they don’t actually double the time you have to spend studying (phew!). Most undergraduate degrees at CSU are single degrees that take three years of full-time study to complete. If you choose a double degree, you will usually study for four years, but graduate with two qualifications.

Double degrees can:

• allow you to study two areas where you have an interest

• give you skills in complementary areas that could help you run your own business or gain a deeper understanding of your field

• keep employment options open, as you’ll have two areas of expertise.

CSU offers these double degrees:

• Bachelor of Communication (Advertising) / Bachelor of Business (Marketing)

• Bachelor of Communication (Public Relations) / Bachelor of Business Studies

• Bachelor of Social Science (Psychology) / Bachelor of Business

• Bachelor of Sport Studies / Bachelor of Communication (Journalism)

Other optionsCSU offers a double specialisation in the Bachelor of Creative Arts and Design where you will graduate with skills in graphic design and photography.

There’s also a linked program where you start off with the Bachelor of Nursing before progressing directly into the Graduate Diploma of Clinical Practice (Paramedic) without having to reapply.

Joint StudiesAs part of your Business degree at CSU you can combine studies in more than one discipline by choosing a Joint Study. As well as your preferred Business discipline, you can complete a stream of subjects from another Business or non-Business field. Read more on page 43.

HonoursHonours can be the ideal way to explore your favourite topic further further:

• delve deeper into an aspect of your undergraduate course

• develop research skills and complete an independent project

• take the first step towards a research or academic career

• integrated Honours streams in many CSU courses means you can still graduate with your friends who aren’t doing Honours

• some Honours courses are completed after you finish your degree, usually adding an extra year of study.

You will need to meet minimum academic requirements to be eligible for Honours (usually a Credit average) but it can help you stand out from the crowd when you’re applying for jobs, so the hard work is worthwhile.

Postgraduate studyOnce you’ve completed your first degree, the doors to a huge range of postgraduate courses will be opened. Postgraduate study offers more advanced qualifications, allows you to specialise or progress in your career, or even switch jobs down the track. CSU’s postgraduate courses are usually very flexible, so you can study part-time or by distance education while you keep working. You can often choose from a Graduate Certificate, Graduate Diploma or Masters degree and study duration to suit your needs.

Ex panding your optionsHigher degrees by researchThe most advanced university qualifications, higher degrees by research provide the structure for you to investigate an aspect of your field that has never been explored before. You will carry out research and use your findings to develop a project or thesis that could leave a lasting impression on your industry. Research degrees can also be a pathway if you want to become an academic. These degrees could be called things like research Masters, Doctorates or a PhD (Doctor of Philosophy). CSU has a number of research centres and partnerships to support you through your research.

CSU TrainingCSU Training is CSU’s Registered Training Organisation and provides vocational qualifications in areas such as asset management, business, health, management, and training and assessment. These Certificate and Diploma qualifications are flexible, offered by distance education and could give you credit into higher education.

If you still can’t decide on a career path, don’t worry. As well as degrees with a specific industry focus, CSU offers a range of more general courses where you can build your own degree with subjects that interest you. This gives you the chance to explore a range of areas and find your true calling.

Consider:

• Bachelor of Business Studies

• Bachelor of Educational Studies

• Bachelor of General Studies (Science)

• Bachelor of Liberal Studies (Arts)

Remember, it’s OK not to be sure what you want to study, or to be interested in a general area but not know the exact career path you want to follow. Once you start at CSU, you’ll meet people from a range of backgrounds and with a variety of goals, and might just discover a dream job you never knew existed.

Visit: www.csu.edu.au/courses or look through the following pages.

If you know what job you want to end up in when you finish uni, but you’re not sure about the course to study to get there, check out our career area pages at: www.csu.edu.au/courses or have a chat to one of our advisers on 1800 334 733.

Agricultural and Wine Sciences

CSU is the obvious choice if you’re keen to get your hands dirty in the Agricultural and Wine Science industries. In fact, CSU’s agricultural history dates back into the 1890s! At CSU, the paddocks, campus farms and vineyards can be your classroom to give you plenty of hands-on experience. Our great reputation in the industry means you will hear from innovators and leaders who can share their insights into the future of agriculture – you can even go on farm visits to see their work in action.

FACILITIES

University farms: There is no better way to study agriculture than with a farm on your doorstep. The campus farms at Orange and Wagga Wagga give you experience working in a farm environment, including working with sheep and cattle herds and irrigation systems.

Winery and vineyards: CSU has a great reputation in the wine industry, and it all starts at our Orange and Wagga Wagga campuses. Fruit grown in the university vineyards is used to create award-winning wines in CSU’s fully operational commercial winery, and there’s also an experimental winery on campus to test out new varieties and techniques.

This could be the path for you if:

• you like the idea of getting out of the office and working outdoors

• you want to be innovative and meet the challenges of a changing industry and environment

• you’re curious about growing, producing, marketing or trading agricultural and wine products.

Allied HealthAllied Health at CSU is all about giving you the ability to give back to the community where you live and work. You will learn how to care for and communicate with patients in your chosen discipline. You’ll graduate as a caring, compassionate practitioner with experience working on your own or alongside other health professionals.

CSU was a pioneer in bringing training for many Allied Health disciplines to regional areas. The majority of our graduates stay in regional areas after graduating, where you can make a huge impact on improving access to health services, but you can also work in big cities or internationally. In fact, many CSU graduates are currently working all over the world.

FACILITIESCommunity Engagement and Wellness Centre: Treat some of your first patients in CSU’s Community Engagement and Wellness Centre at Albury-Wodonga Campus. This facility is open to the public for services like occupational therapy, physiotherapy and podiatry, so you will work on real cases, patient communication, and storing and managing patient files alongside allied health students in other disciplines. The Centre includes a variety of treatment rooms and supporting spaces, such as sterilisation facilities and storage areas, exposing you to the professional environment throughout your degree.

Skills Development Centre: Whether it’s the kitchen, the bathroom or mobility equipment, you will get familiar with the tools for your job using the Skills Development Centre. This Centre has spaces where you can get hands-on practice using modified household settings, learning techniques that will help your future clients live their lives to the fullest. You’ll learn how to safely lift patients to help them in the bathroom, and simple modifications that can make their kitchens or workplaces easier to navigate, as well as how to use wheelchairs, crutches and other mobility aids.

Virtual Pharmacy: The transition to a real pharmacy is easier after learning in CSU’s Virtual Pharmacy. Set up with a range of screens and real products in a pharmacy layout, the virtual pharmacy lets you gain experience in patient counselling and advice, without the pressure of real pharmacy customers. You will gain confidence in answering questions and giving advice, as well as selecting the right product, so when you start in a real pharmacy, you’ll know exactly what to expect.

A career in Allied Health could be for you if:

• you dream of working with people• you want to improve quality of life

for members of your community• you’re compassionate and caring.

Animal and Veterinary Sciences

You’ll work with animals from the very start of your Animal and Veterinary Sciences degree at CSU, with impressive practical facilities on campus for you to study.

FACILITIES

Veterinary Clinical Centre: CSU’s emphasis on rural veterinary practice is evident in the Veterinary Clinical Centre, on CSU’s Wagga Wagga Campus. It offers a first-opinion service for horses and a referral service for farm animals and pets. Facilities include operating theatres, diagnostic imaging facilities, a reproduction unit and small animal teaching laboratories.

Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory: Purpose-built to meet undergraduate teaching needs, the Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory caters for all animals, from small birds and pets through to horses and livestock. It provides pathology services for regional NSW, northern Victoria and the ACT, as well as certification testing for moving livestock and livestock products interstate and overseas, regulatory testing for livestock processing industries, and helps protect the livestock industries against outbreaks of animal diseases.

Veterinary Teaching Hospital: Experience working with small animals is offered through CSU’s Veterinary Teaching Hospital, under supervision from CSU veterinarians and visiting specialists. The building, in the centre of Wagga Wagga, includes five consulting rooms, separate waiting areas for dogs and cats, a pharmacy, laboratory, radiology and ultrasound rooms, dog and cat wards, isolation facilities, a dentistry area, and internal and external dog runs, as well as a preparation and treatment area with custom treatment tables. Students work in the teaching hospital during the final three years of their veterinary studies.

If you’re tossing up between a couple of disciplines and can’t decide which you really want to study, don’t worry – you can do both! CSU’s Joint Studies allow you to combine your Business degree with another Business or non-Business discipline.

There are almost 30 Joint Studies to choose from including Accounting, Advertising, Agribusiness, Ecotourism, Management, Marketing or Psychology. A Joint Study gives you a unique graduate profile and prepares you for a wider range of career options.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY...

“I chose to study at CSU as it was close to home and is known for graduates’ ability to get jobs after they finish their degrees. Practical placements gave us a great opportunity to put our knowledge into practice. CSU’s country values make it a friendly experience, especially for students who aren’t from the area.”

Environmental Science and Outdoor RecreationThe opportunity to study at Australia’s first environmentally friendly university campus is too good to pass up for anyone passionate about looking after the world around us. You’ll be living in an environment perfectly tailored to your study and get to see a range of sustainability techniques in action in a truly unique study setting. CSU’s Environmental Science and Outdoor Recreation degrees are all about getting out there and seeing the world. You’ll gain a scientific background but spend much of your time in the great outdoors, exploring the environment and going on field trips around Australia and internationally.

FACILITIES

Environmentally sustainable campus: CSU in Albury-Wodonga is a living example of sustainable development. You’ll live and study in buildings made from rammed earth and recycled materials, use natural climate control and sensor lighting, and have the chance to work with artificial wetlands and creeks, windmills and solar collectors. Instead of just learning about environmental practices, you’ll be living them every day and making them second nature in your lifestyle.You’ll also have access to modern laboratories and research facilities.

Field trips: Get out and see the world while studying Environmental Science and Outdoor Recreation at CSU. On field trips you may visit sites around Victoria and NSW, head to the Australian outback, or jet off to see how other countries tackle sustainability issues. Study tours run to Cambodia, India and Nepal, allowing you to meet people working in environmental roles in those countries, tour heritage areas and learn more about government environmental policies. You’ll graduate with a global focus as well as the ability to make a difference in your own community, wherever you live and work.

You could consider Environmental Science and Outdoor Recreation if:

• you want a job where every day is different• you want to help other people appreciate

the natural environment• you love to work outdoors• you’re passionate about preserving

the planet for future generations.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY...

“I am studying adventure ecotourism and outdoor recreation to make a difference to people’s lives, to add some adventure, some risk and some adrenaline. What would life be without the outdoors, and how would people access the true back country if they did not have the gear or the knowledge to be able to do so? I am here to give people some truly unique experiences, make them appreciate nature and hopefully conserve and protect it for future generations.”

HIGHLIGHT

CSU’s Bachelor of Social Work gives you the chance to complete work placements in two different social work settings during your course, so when you graduate you’ll meet the requirements of the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW). You could gain experience developing interpersonal skills, clinical casework or group work, or work in roles such as community development, educational group work, policy or research, under supervision from a qualified social worker. By the time you graduate, you’ll already have 980 hours of workplace experience.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY...

“I had the opportunity to evaluate what I wanted to do with my life, and chose to do the Certificate IV in Community Services, which led me to the Diploma. Having always believed getting a university degree was my equivalent to the Holy Grail, CSU coming to town was a sign!”

Information Technology, Computing and MathematicsTechnology is an increasing part of our daily lives and people with up-to-date IT skills are in growing demand. That makes Information Technology, Computing and Mathematics a lucrative and diverse career path. CSU’s degrees are accredited at the highest level, the professional level, with the Australian Computer Society, so you can be assured your qualification will be recognised by your future employers.

A solid understanding of mathematics can prepare you for the challenges of many careers that require data analysis, cost-benefit analysis, and other statistical reasoning. You will be confident working with numbers and data to make comparisons and recommendations for improvements or future directions for your organisation, or could combine mathematics study with a teaching qualification to become a mathematics teacher.

FACILITIES

Computer laboratories: You will have ready access to the latest hardware and software using computer facilities on campus. There’s a strong emphasis on practical work, so you will get used to the methods and techniques used in industry throughout your course. You’ll use industry standard software programs to learn about topics such as networking, database systems, computer graphics or games programming, putting the theory you are learning to use in real applications.

Mathematics / Statistics Learning Centre: This Centre, with advisers at Albury-Wodonga, Bathurst and Wagga Wagga, provides support when you’re studying mathematical or statistical subjects. You could benefit if you haven’t studied maths during high school, or studied interstate where the mathematics syllabus may be different to NSW. The Centre provides a relaxed atmosphere for you to study maths and statistics, in a small group setting so you can network with other students as well as getting the support you need to succeed at maths.

This area is for you if:

• you want to stay ahead of the latest trends and technologies

• you’re interested in using technology to help companies operate more efficiently

• you have an analytical brain and like to know how things work.

Medical Science

The human body is fascinating and complex. Medical Science could be an exciting study and career path for anyone intrigued by the way the body works. You’ll learn all about how the body functions, and develop the skills to conduct testing and screen for diseases and disorders. At CSU, Medical Science degrees are practical and designed to prepare you for getting a job. You’ll have the chance to work in our state-of-the-art laboratories as well as complete placements in industry, boosting your employability.

FACILITIES

Dental and Oral Health Clinics: Dental and Oral Health Clinics operate at Albury-Wodonga, Bathurst, Dubbo, Orange and Wagga Wagga campuses, and while you complete your dental science degree, you could complete placements at any of these locations as well as in the wider community. You will treat patients under supervision from qualified dentists. The services you provide will expand as you progress through the course.

Simulation Clinic: Before you start working on real patients, you will develop your hand skills and dental techniques using CSU’s Simulation Clinic. This clinic features dummy heads with artificial teeth specially designed to replicate real scenarios and conditions you will encounter when you work with real clients. As a result, you’ll progress through your skills development with confidence and know what to expect before you start working in clinics.

Laboratories: CSU offers a range of laboratories fitted with the latest equipment. This means while you are learning the theory behind Medical Science concepts, you can also explore and examine relevant topics in a hands-on setting.

Consider Medical Science if:

• you’re interested in the science behind health and medical issues

• dental and physical health is important to you• you find lab-based work appealing.

HIGHLIGHT

CSU’s Bachelor of Clinical Science gives you hands-on experience with research projects that could make new discoveries for the treatment of disease. Students have worked on research focused on reducing the side effects for chemotherapy patients, investigating new cancer treatments, and developing a synthetic Ross River Fever vaccine.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY...

“I’ve always liked science and CSU’s Bachelor of Medical Science is very science-based and included microbiology, which is my personal favourite. I really enjoyed clinical placement. Practical placement was really useful to see what a career in the pathology industry is like, in a way theory lecturers can’t show.”

Nursing

A career in Nursing allows you to be involved in life-changing moments. You could work with people overcoming illness or starting a family, or provide support and care in times of need. Whether your career is in the public system, a private hospital, a medical practice or in schools or clinics, you can be assured you are making a real difference in people’s lives.

You can also study fields such as criminology and the justice system to prepare you for non-policing careers.

FACILITIES

NSW Police Force Academy: If you’re aiming to join the NSW Police, you’ll gain an excellent practical grounding at the NSW Police Force Academy, including driver training and developing your skills on the firing range. You’ll also become familiar with professional surroundings using a mock police station and courtroom. Your skills in areas such as communication, investigation, weapons and tactics will be developed through practical training and simulated policing scenarios.

These courses provide an exciting career path when:

• you want a fast-paced job where no two days are the same

• you believe in upholding the law and making a difference to society

• you’re physically fit and work well under pressure.

Psychology

Psychology is a diverse field that can be considered a science, allowing you to research human behaviour, or be viewed as a health profession, where you can contribute to society and help improve people’s wellbeing and mental health. A degree in Psychology can provide opportunities to gain provisional accreditation to practice as a psychologist, or use your understanding of human nature to bring a compassionate outlook to a career in another field, such as human resources or teaching. You could work in private practice, or find work in community organisations like schools and universities, hospitals, health clinics, the justice system or not-for-profit organisations.

FACILITIES

Psychology Resource Office: CSU’s Psychology Resource Office. A huge range of resources is available to borrow, including various psychological tests and equipment used for assessing clients, so you can practise what you are learning. You will also have access to reference materials, videos and DVDs, and past CSU student dissertations.

Psychology could be your passion if:

• you’re interested in how the human mind works• you like relating to people and their experiences• you’re a good listener.

Theology and Religious Studies

Theology and Religious Studies help us develop a better understanding and empathy for the people and societies around us. As religion becomes a more topical issue in global events, this can provide a fascinating field of study and provide insight into cultures and practices all over the world. CSU’s theological campuses let you be part of a dedicated community, including staff from various religious traditions and students who share your passion to discuss and debate beliefs. Whether you want to gain a deeper understanding of your faith or aspire to become a minister or other church leader, CSU can give you the opportunity to grow in a respectful and supportive setting.

FACILITIES

Theological libraries: Specialist collections and rare books are at your fingertips using the dedicated theological libraries on campus. You will be able to access hundreds of thousands of items covering areas like biblical studies, church management, counselling and psychology, liturgy and worship, preaching, philosophy, pastoral theology and theology. These resources, which may not be available in mainstream library collections, will help you explore different perspectives in theology.

Chapels: Easily find a quiet place to reflect with chapels on campus. You can join a service or prayer session, or spend some quiet time in the chapel by yourself. These readily available facilities allow you to practice your faith and explore your own beliefs to complement your formal study in Theology and Religious Studies.

Explore Theology and Religious Studies when:

• you’re curious about other cultures and religions• you want to discover the role of theology

in contemporary society• you want to give meaning to the existence

of humanity.

NITTY GRITTIES

You’re almost there! You’ve seen what a great place CSU is to live and study, and found courses that spark your curiosity. Whatever your background, CSU has a pathway for you to help you achieve your dream of getting a degree.

You could be from an Indigenous or low socio-economic background, live in a rural or regional area, or be an elite athlete. Perhaps you’d like to study at TAFE first, or already have a TAFE qualification. CSU also has a range of scholarships and grants available to help you with the cost of studying at university, and plenty of support along the way.

If you would like to talk to someone about your options for getting into uni, or have any questions about the application process, read on and then give one of our friendly advisers a call on 1800 334 733, or submit an online enquiry at: www.csu.edu.au/contacts/enquiry

MyDay is your chance to see what it’s like to be a CSU student, before you even finish school. MyDay events are held on various campuses for a range of disciplines throughout the year, and give you a chance to meet some academic staff, participate in hands-on activities and hear from current students about what it’s like to study at CSU. You’ll find out more about possible career paths or alternative courses you may not have considered, and hear about how other people got started in your field.

To see when MyDay events will be held and register your interest, head to: www.csu.edu.au/myday

When you’re applying for uni, a little bonus can be just what you need to get you on the path to the career of your dreams. At CSU, we have lots of entry options, and they’ve all been rolled into a program known as CSU PLUS.

www.csu.edu.au/csuplus

Making your decision

Regional Bonus PointsIf you’re completing high school in a rural or regional area, you’ll get an extra five points added to your ATAR when you apply to study at CSU. This recognises that you may not have had the same opportunities in Year 12 as students at some of the big metropolitan high schools. The best part is you don’t have to do a thing to apply for the bonus – CSU will automatically add the extra points.

Visit: www.csu.edu.au/rbp

Early entryYou can be considered for an offer to study at CSU before you even receive your Year 12 results, through CSU’s Principal’s Report Entry Program. This scheme is offered to students in CSU’s target areas, and you’ll need to get your school principal or careers adviser to write you a recommendation outlining why they think you would succeed in your preferred area of study. These applications are submitted online to the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC) and you could receive an offer as early as December. Then you can relax and enjoy your summer break!

You can schedule a tour with a current CSU student when it suits you, on any working day of the year. Call 1800 334 733 or jump online at: www.csu.edu.au/campustour to book. Please give us at least three working days’ notice so we can get everything organised for you.

“During high school there were so many things I wanted to know but was sometimes too afraid to ask. CSU’s open day every day program is a great way for prospective students to inspect the university and maybe even meet the course coordinator for their area of interest. Speaking to prospective students about career choices and university life hopefully answers a few of those questions and helps make that transition from school to university a little bit easier.” Ben Bond, CSU Student Ambassador

DarrambalIndigenous students can use the Darrambal Skills Assessment program to gain entry to CSU. You will complete a program of up to three days to highlight the skills you already have and show that you could succeed at uni. The program is run by CSU’s Indigenous Student Services and has government funding, so it’s free to participate. Darrambal runs in different locations and at various times of year depending on demand.

Visit: www.csu.edu.au/darrambal

TAFEIf you’ve already done some TAFE study you can get a great head start into your degree. You could receive credit for some subjects in your course, so you won’t have to spend as long studying before you graduate with a degree. CSU has some courses that follow directly on from a TAFE qualification, known as articulated programs, or you can combine TAFE and uni study with one of our integrated programs. Look for the TAFE symbol in our course pages (starting on page 28) to find out more about these opportunities.

Visit: www.csu.edu.au/tafe

Diploma of General StudiesIf you don’t get into the course you’re aiming for, you can still study at CSU. The Diploma of General Studies is a one-year pathway program that includes TAFE and university subjects. It’s designed to help you build the skills you need to succeed at uni. Best of all, when you graduate, you’re guaranteed entry to most of CSU’s bachelor degrees. This can be a great way to gain confidence at uni and get a foot in the door to the course you really want to do.

Visit: www.csu.edu.au/courses/undergraduate/general_studies

Special considerationIf you’ve had a tough time during high school and your study has been affected, CSU can take that into account when your uni application is being assessed. Applications for special consideration are made through UAC or VTAC, and depending on your circumstances, you may need to provide some supporting documentation, so make sure you get organised early so you can chase up all the bits and pieces you need.

Visit: www.csu.edu.au/special-consideration

Elite athletesAt CSU, we like our graduates to be well-rounded. We know you have other interests besides study. We also understand that playing sport or competing at the top level needs a huge time commitment, so you might not always be able to give 100% to your studies.

As an Elite Athlete Friendly University, we’ve added an elite athlete category to our special consideration scheme. If you can show that your training and competition commitments have affected your study in the lead-up to applying for uni, we can consider that when we look at your application.

You don’t even have to be applying for a sport-related course.

Paying for your degreeLike almost everything in life, going to uni costs money. But the good news is Australian and New Zealand students completing undergraduate courses at CSU have Commonwealth supported places. This means your fees are subsidised by the government, and you don’t have to pay for your subjects until after you’ve finished your degree and started working.

The way it works is:

• when you enrol, you complete a form indicating that you’d like to defer paying your fees under HECS-HELP. You will need to provide your tax file number

• the federal government pays CSU for your tuition and registers the debt against your tax file number

• once you start earning more than a set amount, you will start to pay back your loan through the taxation system. In the 2013-14 financial year, the repayment threshold was $51,309. Most undergraduate students don’t pay anything back until they have graduated and start working full-time.

Of course, if you’ve got some savings and would prefer to pay for some or all of your tuition upfront, that’s fine too!

The amount you pay for each subject depends on what you are studying. The subject disciplines are divided into ‘bands’ with a different amount for each band. If you study subjects from different bands – such as electives from another discipline, or subjects in a double degree – you will pay different amounts for some subjects within your course.

Band – undergraduate subjects Amount per year

Amount per

8 point subject

Band 1 – Behavioural Science, Clinical Psychology, Education, Foreign Language, Humanities, Nursing, Social Studies, Visual and Performing Arts

$6,016 $752

Band 2 – Agriculture, Allied Health, Built Environment, Computing, Engineering, Mathematics, Other Health, Science, Statistics, Surveying

$8,608 $1,076

Band 3 – Accounting, Administration, Commerce, Dentistry, Economics, Law, Medicine, Veterinary Science.

$10,080 $1,260

*Note: Fees shown are for 2014 and are subject to change in 2015.

Visit: www.csu.edu.au/courses/fees-and-costs

You can also read more about deferring your tuition fees through HECS-HELP or accessing payments like Youth Allowance or ABSTUDY by visiting: www.studyassist.gov.au

Other fees and costsStudent Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF)

Students enrolled at CSU pay a Student Services and Amenities Fee. This fee can be deferred under a similar scheme to your tuition fees, known as SA-HELP, and is charged based on the number of subjects you are enrolled in each session. Money raised through this fee is used to help fund support services, programs and social activities on each campus – so to get the best bang for your buck, get involved in as much as you can at CSU!

In 2014, this fee was $34 per 8 point subject, capped at a maximum of $272 per year per student.

Course-related expenses

You might have to travel as part of your course – perhaps to attend clinical placements or workplace learning experiences, go on field trips or for residential schools if you complete any distance education subjects as part of your course. You will need to meet any travel or accommodation expenses involved in these trips. Remember to check whether you’re eligible for any grants to help offset these costs.

Depending on your course, you may also have to pay for:

• textbooks (new or second-hand, or try the library)

• uniforms (e.g. shirts, polo tops, scrubs or overalls)

• special equipment (sometimes these will be items you can continue to use in your career).

How do I afford uni?Your best bet is to start saving early. If you’re thinking about going to uni, putting a little bit of money aside each week while you’re still in high school can give you a real head start. There’s also a good break between finishing Year 12 and starting uni (Session 1 doesn’t start until late February) so getting a job over the summer can help you build up a healthy bank balance.

Many students take on a part-time job while studying. You will need good time management skills, but this can be a good way to keep some money coming in while you’re at uni.

For more tips on budgeting for uni, check out CSU’s Making University Affordable booklet at: www.csu.edu.au/about/publications

A scholarship can really help with your cash flow while you’re at uni – and at CSU, everyone’s eligible to apply!

You don’t have to be a certified genius to get a scholarship at CSU. While we do have some scholarships based on your academic performance, there’s a whole range of criteria that can be taken into account for many of our scholarships.

Did you know you can be awarded a scholarship for:

• studying a particular course?

• getting involved in your school or community life?

• having grown up in a particular town?

• coming from a low socio-economic background?

• and much more!

Some scholarships will be for a particular purpose, such as accommodation or textbooks, while others will just provide funds that you can use in any way that helps you get the most out of your uni experience.

Scholarships based on academic results: If you’re a high achiever you could be eligible for scholarships based on your marks. Other criteria may also be considered, like your contribution to school, uni or community life.

Scholarships from industry or the community: CSU Alumni, the community and industry support graduates of the future by donating scholarships. Each has different criteria, but generally if you can show your willingness to succeed and your passion for your chosen area, you’re in with a chance. The Bachelor of Information Technology (Business Services) includes a $30,000 scholarship, and others could be worth between $1,000 and $20,000, so it’s definitely worth applying!

Scholarships based on your course or campus: Some scholarships are only available to students in a particular course, or studying at a particular location. These can provide financial support or give you the opportunity to complete a sought-after work placement.

Equity scholarships: We know not everyone has the same opportunities before coming to uni, so these scholarships are designed to help level the playing field, boosting your financial capacity to get a degree. You could be eligible for scholarships if you’re from an Indigenous background, a rural or remote area, or have faced financial difficulties.

“The scholarship has given me breathing space and taken lots of stress away. As an older student I was used to having financial security. The scholarship has made a big difference.”

Jane Savage, CSU student

CSU invest in your future

through its cholarship programs

Each year CSU recognises and rewards the potential of hundreds of our students by providing millions of $$ worth of scholarships and grants

Tips on completing your scholarship applicationScholarships create opportunities for students to realise their potential. Give yourself the best chance to be rewarded by taking note of the following tips:

• keep an eye out for scholarships that appeal to you and start looking early - some scholarships close in November the year before you start

• allow yourself plenty of time to put thought into your application and make changes to your draft before submitting your application form. Always work in Word before copying your responses into the application

• pay attention to the criteria and think carefully about whether you meet the requirements. Note whether success is dependent primarily on an academic or financial needs basis and address that in the application

• follow the guidelines. Most scholarships have precisely defined rules for applicants, definite closing dates and requirements for you to provide supporting documentation, so know what you have to do and give yourself the best chance

• if you need supporting letters or documents, chase them up early and have them verified if required. Scan them so they are ready to be uploaded with your application

• ask a parent, teacher or friend to read your application and the criteria. They may be able to give you some ideas, or pick up any spelling or grammar mistakes you may not have noticed

• if you are not sure about something — ask. Contact CSU’s Scholarships Office for assistance. This contact can make all the difference!

How to make yourself a good candidateTo increase your chances of being selected as the recipient of a CSU scholarship there are some simple things you can do to make yourself stand out from the crowd:

• get involved and actively participate in the community, your school, TAFE or university, sporting or charitable organisations. Some scholarships require that successful candidates are involved in society, and not just academically qualified, so engage yourself in groups that interest you.

• educate yourself by keeping up-to-date with current affairs, reading literature or by observing other cultures through travel or intercultural events. This may help you to describe what it is about you that makes a positive contribution to the community.

• practise interpersonal skills, learn how to express yourself and to defend your views, while still allowing for other opinions. Some Foundation or external scholarships involve interviews, and if successful, you may be asked to speak on the benefits of your scholarship to the funding group.

The personal statementOften a scholarship application will require the applicant to submit a personal statement that addresses the criteria. It is important to know what the committee is looking for and who you can ask for help:

• academic qualifications – from any training or courses you may have completed

• social skills and community involvement – school and other organisations you are involved with

• leadership skills – employers, mentors or school principal

• personal characteristics – ask parents, teachers and/or mentors for a reference

• back up what you say – it is important to include real life examples that show your attributes and if financial need or overcoming hardship is relevant, ensure you can demonstrate this.

Scholarships for TAFE students: If you’re coming to CSU from TAFE, these scholarships can give you some handy cash to start off on the right foot in the next step of your study journey.

Grants: You can also apply for one-off cash grants for things like attending professional placements, buying textbooks or a computer, or moving away from home.

Make sure you check online for the criteria and closing dates for different types of scholarships at: www.csu.edu.au/scholarships

“The scholarship means that I can buy textbooks in a timely manner and not be disadvantaged by whatever bills are due that week or other things that come up. University stuff can be provided for without juggling means of survival.”

Danae Weaver, CSU student

Applications for full-time study on campus at CSU are made through the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC). Most NSW Year 12 students will receive a UAC Guide at school, but if you don’t get one, try your local newsagent or go online.

If you’re doing Year 12 in Victoria and want to study at CSU in Albury-Wodonga or through Holmesglen Institute of TAFE, you can also apply through VTAC.

When you apply through UAC or VTAC, you can list a number of courses as ‘preferences’. When your Year 12 results come out they will be compared to your preferences and you will receive an offer to the highest preference course you are eligible for. Offers are released through UAC and VTAC too.

Visit: www.csu.edu.au/apply

Admission requirementsFor some courses, all you need to get in is a high enough ATAR. The cut-off for each course can change from year to year depending on demand and the number of places available, but looking at this year’s score can often provide a good indication of the score you’ll need to get in next year. You can look up the ATAR in the course listings in this book, or visit the online course brochures at: www.csu.edu.au/courses

If you haven’t completed Year 12 or aren’t coming straight from school, CSU may look at other study you have completed, such as TAFE, and your work experience to assess your application.

Additional criteriaAt CSU we value curiosity and passion as well as your academic achievements. That’s why some of our courses have additional criteria when you apply. You might be asked to write an essay or complete a form, attend an interview or show off your portfolio. This gives you a real opportunity to showcase your skills and demonstrate your enthusiasm for a particular field that might not necessarily be reflected in your ATAR. Check the course information in this book and go online for more details about any additional criteria you may need to complete.

Direct applicationsFor a few undergraduate courses at CSU, you will need to apply direct, rather than through UAC or VTAC. These courses are typically those that include a TAFE component, and you may need to apply to TAFE separately. Any information about direct application is available on that course’s online course brochure at: www.csu.edu.au/courses

How to apply

CreditIf you’ve done some other study, such as a TAFE course, or have professional experience that matches the content in subjects included in your CSU degree, you may be able to apply for credit. This means you don’t have to enrol in subjects that cover things you already know, and may help you finish your course more quickly. You’ll need supporting documents like transcripts and subject descriptions, so if you think you could be eligible for credit, start getting your paperwork organised ASAP. You’ll need to submit an application for credit and have it assessed before you start your course.

English language proficiencyTo succeed at university study, you will need to show you have a certain level of English language proficiency. If you were born and have previously studied in an English-speaking country, you will usually meet the English proficiency requirements already; otherwise you may be required to complete an accepted English language test. Some courses have higher English requirements, so check online to see what’s required for your course. Visit: www.csu.edu.au/apply/english-language-proficiency

Don’t freak out too much about submitting your preferences to UAC. You will need to be fairly happy with the courses you have listed, because you could be made an offer to any of them depending on your results, but you will also have a chance to change your preferences when your marks are released.

What can CSU offer you?

CSU invest in your future through its cholarship programs

Each year CSU recognises and rewards the potential of hundreds of our students by providing millions of $$ worth of scholarships and grants

Tips on completing your scholarship applicationScholarships create opportunities for students to realise their potential. Give yourself the best chance to be rewarded by taking note of the following tips:• keep an eye out for scholarships that appeal to you and start looking early - some scholarships close in November the year before you start• allow yourself plenty of time to put thought into your application and make changes to your draft before submitting your application form. Always work in Word before copying your responses into the application• pay attention to the criteria and think carefully about whether you meet the requirements. Note whether success is dependent primarily on an academic or financial needs basis and address that in the application• follow the guidelines. Most scholarships have precisely defined rules for applicants, definite closing dates and requirements for you to provide supporting documentation, so know what you have to do and give yourself the best chance• if you need supporting letters or documents, chase them up early and have them verified if required. Scan them so they are ready to be uploaded with your application• ask a parent, teacher or friend to read your application and the criteria. They may be able to give you some ideas, or pick up any spelling or grammar mistakes you may not have noticed• if you are not sure about something — ask. Contact CSU’s Scholarships Office for assistance. This contact can make all the difference!How to make yourself a good candidateTo increase your chances of being selected as the recipient of a CSU scholarship there are some simple things you can do to make yourself stand out from the crowd:• get involved and actively participate in the community, your school, TAFE or university, sporting or charitable organisations. Some scholarships require that successful candidates are involved in society, and not just academically qualified, so engage yourself in groups that interest you.• educate yourself by keeping up-to-date with current affairs, reading literature or by observing other cultures through travel or intercultural events. This may help you to describe what it is about you that makes a positive contribution to the community.• practise interpersonal skills, learn how to express yourself and to defend your views, while still allowing for other opinions. Some Foundation or external scholarships involve interviews, and if successful, you may be asked to speak on the benefits of your scholarship to the funding group.The personal statementOften a scholarship application will require the applicant to submit a personal statement that addresses the criteria. It is important to know what the committee is looking for and who you can ask for help:• academic qualifications – from any training or courses you may have completed• social skills and community involvement – school and other organisations you are involved with• leadership skills – employers, mentors or school principal• personal characteristics – ask parents, teachers and/or mentors for a reference• back up what you say – it is important to include real life examples that show your attributes and if financial need or overcoming hardship is relevant, ensure you can demonstrate this.connect with usfacebook.com/charlessturtunitwitter.com/CharlesSturtUniwww.youtube.com/user/CharlesSturtUni1800 334 733 (free call within Australia) +61 2 6338 6077 (callers outside Australia)
