Why CSU?

Four good reasons to study abroad at Charles Sturt University.

1. Academic excellence

From applied learning in state-of-the-art facilities, to courses developed in consultation with industry, our hands-on approach to course delivery ensures you are fully prepared for future employment, all while gaining credit towards your degree at home. In many courses, you will have the opportunity to learn while using the latest industry equipment to ensure you are equipped to tackle real life situations.

Our extensive range of on campus facilities sets us apart from many other Australian universities. Our viticulture and wine science courses are supported by a 28 hectare vineyard and commercial winery, while our communication courses are supported by a media centre with a television studio and the University's own community radio station and advertising agency.

2. A truly Australian experience

The distinctive geographical location of each CSU campus is ideal for discovering the real Australia. You can quickly immerse yourself in an Australian lifestyle, while our natural environment is right at your doorstep - ready to be explored, including our snowfields, wine regions and national parks. CSU's campus locations give you the opportunity to experience regional Australia while having access to the major cities of Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra by plane, bus, car or train.

3. Sense of community

Through our network of campuses, we offer diversity in our facilities and courses, yet it is our sense of community that sets CSU apart. Wherever you choose to study, CSU's caring and supportive academic and social environment ensures you will quickly become part of the CSU family. Many of our students comment that CSU never loses track of the individual.

The regional locations in which CSU campuses are located are considered safe environments with lower crime rates than in major metropolitan cities.

4. Value for money

One great advantage of being a Study Abroad student at CSU is that you can enjoy the best of city living along with the financial benefits of lower living costs in regional Australia. When it comes to value for money, CSU is hard to beat!
