Science @ CSU
The Faculty of Science at CSU is a leader in the promotion of science. Not only do we provide a broad range of innovative science degrees to undergraduate and postgraduate university students, but we are active in promoting science to school children of all ages.
We want to help you keep students engaged, motivated and excited about science. The thrill of science—experimentation and discovery, measurement and interrogation, hypothesis and deduction—should never be far from any part of the curriculum. Science is not just about learning facts in biology, tables in chemistry or equations in physics, it’s a way of thinking that allow advances in society, our health and the environment. Science and scientific thinking should be an integral part of any education—it doesn’t just produce scientists; it produces better members of an ever-changing society. Our students are the future on which we will all depend.
The Faculty participates in Science outreach events like:
- Science in the Bush - http://scienceinthebush.net/
- the Siemens Science Experience - http://www.scienceexperience.com.au/,
- and National Science Week activities - http://www.scienceweek.info.au/,
but also hosts school study days and specific career area information sessions on campus.
The Faculty offers generous scholarships (http://www.csu.edu.au/student/science/) for undergraduate students and is active in ensuring young people are aware of the exciting careers and opportunities a degree in science can create.
