Cross Institutional Study
Even if you're currently studying at another university or at TAFE, you can still study a subject or course at CSU - and have that count towards your current degree.
Combine your studies to maximise your skills
The cross institutional study scheme allows you to undertake a unit of study at CSU that may not be offered at the university in which you are currently enrolled.
If you are enrolled in academic programs at another Australian university or TAFE, you can study CSU subjects and be granted credit for that unit of study towards your main degree.
To qualify, you need to:
- be a Commonwealth-supported student (Please note that the cost of your CSU subject may not be the same as a subject at your main provider)
- provide a letter from your home institution confirming that your CSU subject will count towards your award
- apply online to CSU for your subject(s) as early as you can. Select the Application Type 12. Single Subject Study.
Or, you can download and complete an Application for Admission form [PDF] - clearly mark your application 'cross-institutional' in the course name field.
Use one of the following codes on your application
- EAUC - Faculty of Arts subjects
- ECUC - Faculty of Business subjects
- EEUC - Faculty of Education subjects
- ESUC - Faculty of Science subjects
Subjects
To browse CSU subjects, view our online Handbook (although be aware that not all subjects are available in all sessions.)
When applying for cross institutional study, the subject code should be entered into the strand or major field. You may need to attach a cover letter containing this information if you wish to study more than one subject.
Single Subject study without credit
If you are not seeking cross institutional credit and just want to pick up additional subjects you don't need to worry about the criteria set out above. By choosing to study a single subject you can focus on an area that especially interests you.
Study by distance education
If studying on campus is not convenient for you, there's always the option to study by distance education - so no matter where you are, you can combine your current education with cross institutional study at CSU.
