Getting into Uni

Considering studies at university? CSU offers you a range of admission options to help you get into our courses.

Preparing for study at university

If you're considering studying at university it's important to be aware of assumed knowledge and extra criteria for courses.

Assumed knowledge refers to subjects that the University recommends you undertake prior to starting the course.  However, you may be able to complete these subjects throughout the duration of your course.

Extra criteria is an additional activity that needs to be completed to gain entry into the course such as an essay, questionnaire, portfolio, audition or interview. Consult the online course brochure for more detail.

Pathways students

Wondering what your options for getting into uni are? Pathways are an alternative form of entry into courses at CSU. Whether you are a school leaver, a TAFE student or someone looking to return to study after some time away, options exist to assist you in successfully entering university.

CSU recognises that not all people have equal access to university entrance, and some are at a disadvantage when it comes to getting into higher education.
