CSU's Ornithology program caters for both professional and amateur ornithologists who wish to upgrade their skills and knowledge whilst attaining a recognised tertiary qualification.
These two articulated courses are the only specialised postgraduate courses in Australia in the field of ornithology. The courses combine theory and practice with an emphasis on Australian birds.
The aims of these courses are to:
Some subjects in this course have a compulsory residential school where you are required to travel to Albury-Wodonga Campus for a few days of intensive study during the session. This provides you with the opportunity to meet other students, your lecturers and learn from real life experiences through guest lectures, hands-on study or field trips.
For each 8 point subject at CSU, students should normally expect to spend between 140-160 hours engaged in the specified learning and assessment activities (such as attending lectures or residential schools, assigned readings, tutorial assistance, individual or group research/study, forum activity, workplace learning, assignments or examinations). The student workload for some subjects may vary from these norms as a result of approved course design.
Students will be assessed on the basis of completed assignments, examinations, workplace learning, or other methods as outlined in specific subject outlines.
Where applicable, students are responsible for travel and accommodation costs involved in workplace learning experiences, or attending residential schools (distance education students).
Expectations relating to academic, workplace learning, time and cost requirements for specific subjects are provided in the subject abstracts and in course materials.

Undergraduate courses in Animal Science, Equine Science and Veterinary Science and a Graduate Certificate in Captive Vertebrate Management.
CSU’s Bachelor of Veterinary Biology/Bachelor of Veterinary Science graduates are proving to be highly sought after employees with most finding jobs well before they graduate
I chose to study veterinary science at CSU because the course addresses the current shortage of rural veterinarians.
In 2009, 18 Animal Science CSU students attended the Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
Our graduates develop substantial skills and knowledge in relation to the modern management of horses, underpinned by a strong education in science and scientific method.
Next year I want to go to Charles Sturt University at Wagga Wagga to study either Agricultural Science or Veterinary Science. For as long as I can remember I have wanted to work in rural industries. Now I have the chance stating at CSU.
