What is STUDY LINK all about?
Q. Who can enrol in STUDY LINK?
STUDY LINK subjects are available to:
- students who receive and accept an offer for enrolment in a full course or Single Subject Study at Charles Sturt University (CSU) and who are studying onshore.
- students who are undertaking study at other institutions.
- anyone who is thinking about going to University and wants to brush up their skills in a few areas or get an idea of the expectations of tertiary study.
Skills for Learning Online (SSS003) and English Skills for Academic Writing (SSS017) are also available to international students studying offshore.
Q. How do STUDY LINK subjects work
STUDY LINK subjects are short, self paced subjects, available to study by distance education. We provide you with the materials (usually online) which you work through at your own pace. You will have access to a Subject Coordinator to facilitate your progress through the subject and who you can contact for assistance.
Q. How long do STUDY LINK subjects take to complete?
STUDY LINK subjects take between 13 and 40 hours to complete. However, in most cases you may work through the materials at your own pace during the STUDY LINK session in which you are enrolled. Students who have completed the STUDY LINK program believe this is time well spent!
Q. When are STUDY LINK subjects offered?
STUDY LINK subjects are offered throughout the year. Many subjects should ideally be completed prior to commencing your formal studies, eg. Transition to Tertiary Studies (SSS001) or Skills for Learning Online (SSS003) , whereas other subjects may be successfully completed in tandem with your academic workload. Please check the application form for subject details and offerings.
We suggest that you don’t enrol in more than two (2) STUDY LINK subjects if undertaken with your degree studies.
Q. Do STUDY LINK subjects count towards my degree?
No. However, they will certainly assist you to gain the necessary skills required for success in your studies. Students who have completed a STUDY LINK subject will receive a a Certificate of Successful Completion.
