Workplace learning

CSU works in close association with industry, professions and government to ensure courses meet and support industry needs. Learning is contextualised in a way that empowers and motivates students, assisting them to develop key skills and knowledge required for employment, further education and active participation in their communities.

Workplace learning at CSU allows you to:

• learn through practical and/or field experience. This gives relevance to what you are learning and enables you to construct your own understanding of the course material
• have opportunities to undertake a range of field experiences. There are many opportunities to participate in voluntary and paid field expeditions to areas such as the Australian alps, Mungo National Park and North Head, Sydney
• be supported in doing professional practice. Students are supported in taking at least six weeks of full-time work placement in Australia or overseas. This ensures all students receive first-hand experience of what it is like to work in their profession. Placement opportunities in Australia range from the Tasmanian wilderness to Australia's far north
• travel to places around the world. Each year CSU runs a number of international field trips to locations such as Cambodia, East Timor and Nepal. These are part of your degree in your final year of study. International experience and exchange is also encouraged through CSU Global.
