Workplace learning

CSU works in close association with industry, professions and government to ensure our courses meet and support industry needs. We contextualise learning in a way which empowers and motivates students, while assisting them to develop key skills and knowledge required for employment, further education and active participation in their communities. At CSU, you will:

• 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. We provide this through practical, real world assessment tasks as well as through field trips so you can learn the skills that environmental managers need
• 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 the School hosts a number of international field trips to locations such as East Timor, Cambodia and Nepal. International experience is also encouraged through CSU's Student Exchange Program.
