Admission Criteria

CSU Admission Policy

Charles Sturt takes a holistic approach to understand each applicants' potential for academic success. Each student is assessed on a range of factors including academic readiness, previous study, work and life experience, motivation to succeed, and an awareness of the demands of tertiary study.

Applicants for the Bachelor of Teaching (Primary) must meet the following admission requirements. A completed Bachelors Degree (or AQF equivalent) and successful completion of acceptable undergraduate and or/postgraduate study that includes the equivalent of one year (1.0 Equivalent Full Time Study Load - EFTSL) usually equating to eight subjects that identify with the NESA curriculum for K-6. Of the eight subjects, four need to be within one of the seven primary teaching areas: English, Mathematics, Humanities and Social Sciences(HASS/HSIE), Personal Development, Health and Physical Education PDHPE, Arts, Science and Technology or Languages.
This will form the basis for admission into a primary teaching area.

In addition, Science and Technology and Languages primary teaching areas are also required to have completed an approved curriculum method subject in the relevant primary teaching area to comply with the NESA primary teaching area accreditation guidelines in these two areas. Credit package options apply to students who do not meet the minimum NESA requirements and these students will receive proportionally less credit - based on the number of additional subjects required to meet accreditation requirements.

Upon entry to the course, a standard credit package will be given based on the extent to which the student's undergraduate and/or postgraduate study meets the requirements of the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) for prior discipline and curriculum method study, in one of the following primary teaching area areas:
* English
* Mathematics
* Humanities and Social Sciences(HASS/HSIE)

Students are admitted to the course if they are no more than two subjects short of these requirements.

If two further subjects are required to meet the NESA specifications, credit package EDU36C (48 points) is awarded, which permits two additional subjects to be undertaken within the course.

If one further subject is required to meet the NESA specifications, credit package EDU37C (56 points) is awarded, which permits an additional subject to be undertaken within the course.

If  the requirements are met in full, credit package EDU38C (64 points) is awarded, which indicates no additional study is needed beyond the normal course requirements, in order to comply with the NESA specifications.

Primary Teaching Area: Science & Technology, Languages
Students are admitted to the course if they are no more than one subject short of these NESA entry requirements.

If two further subjects are required to meet the NESA specifications, credit package EDU36C (48 points) is awarded, which permits two additional subjects to be undertaken within the course.

*Primary Teaching Area Pathway Notes
The Primary Teaching Areas are based on the six Key Learning Areas (KLAs) in the NSW Curriculum: Arts, English, HASS/HSIE, Mathematics, Science and Technology, PDHPE and with the addition of Languages. To be eligible for each Primary Teaching Area students must have completed a minimum of 4 discipline subjects in the Primary Teaching Area in their previous undergraduate and/or postgraduate studies. NESA have four areas in which they endorse primary teaching areas: English, Mathematics, Science and Technology and Languages. Students with discipline study in the other KLA areas of Arts, HASS/HSIE, and PDHPE will graduate with an AITSL recognised Primary Teaching Area.

The Bachelor and Master of Teaching qualifications offer the following pathways to graduate with a Primary Teaching Area (which is a national requirement). To graduate with a NESA Primary Teaching Area in English, Mathematics or Science and Technology a student must complete two curriculum methods subjects in the primary teaching area plus a third Highly Effective Teaching subject in the respective curriculum area and complete the Teaching Performance Assessment (TPA) in the respective primary teaching area. To graduate with a NESA Primary Teaching Area in Languages a student must complete one curriculum method subject in Languages plus the Highly Effective Teaching subject in the respective curriculum area and complete the TPA in the respective primary teaching area.

Enrolment Pattern

Students must successfully complete the first year of study (8 subjects) listed in the enrolment pattern before they will be able to
continue to the second year of this degree. However there is flexibility to vary the subject load dependent on students needs and
subject availability, and also to study some subjects in Session 3 in order to accelerate their pace through the course. As such, the
enrolment patterns provided below are intended as a guide only.
At the completion of the first 4 subjects in the enrolment pattern, students who have achieved a grade point average (GPA) of 4
