What out students say

Grant Smith
"Many of the CSU School of Policing Studies staff are either former police officers or expert practitioners in policing related disciplines. Consequently the course content is particularly relevant and aligned with industry requirements. The course is also very accommodating, especially if you are a late entrant or new to tertiary study, while studying by distance education enabled me to fit study around the demands of work and family. My time at CSU reminded me that long term goals can be achieved by putting one foot in front of the other and committing to the process."
