INTERNATIONAL STUDENT GUIDE for STUDY 2014 5
Why Charles Sturt University?
As the fifth-largest university in
Australia, Charles Sturt University
(CSU) prides itself on providing
practical, hands-on courses that
ensure graduates are job-ready for a
range of employment opportunities.
Career focused,
academic excellence
CSU is dedicated to excellence in the
delivery of higher education and has a
well-earned reputation for providing
exceptional education delivered by
dedicated professionals with practical and
relevant industry experience.
Our graduates get jobs
CSU consistently ranks highly for graduate
employment. A recent survey showed that
85.2% of all CSU domestic graduates
find employment within four months of
completing their bachelor degree. This is
approximately six percentage points higher
than the Australian national average. In
fact, in the 2013 edition of Australia’s Good
Universities Guide, CSU was ranked five
out of a possible five stars in graduate
employment outcomes – getting a job.
Industry-related courses and
work integrated learning
Our courses are developed in collaboration
with industry representatives to ensure
graduates are skilled to meet industry needs.
Not only are CSU degrees accredited with
relevant Australian government and industry
bodies, these organisations are working
closely with the University to guarantee
CSU graduates are industry-ready, wherever
in the world they may work.
Most CSU courses offer access to
workplace learning opportunities from the
first year of study, letting students tackle
real-life situations and build relationships

Safe, friendly and a genuine
Australian experience
Guaranteed accommodation for
international students
At CSU, you will have the best of both
worlds: undertake a high-quality degree
while enjoying a great social life and
experiencing Australian culture. Making
lots of Australian friends, improving your
English language skills, lower costs of living,
unpolluted air and a safe environment are
just some of the advantages of living and
studying at one of our regional city locations.
CSU's international students who
commence in Session 1 (February) are
guaranteed accommodation for the first year
of study. CSU offers one of the widest and
most affordable ranges of accommodation
in Australia, with accommodation styles and
packages to suit your lifestyle and budget,
including catered and self-catered housing
options for students on campus.
Our campus cities provide access to a
wealth of activities, from joining sporting
groups to enjoying local clubs or a night at
the theatre. Whatever you desire from your
time at university, you will be right at home
at CSU.
For a different CSU experience, CSU Study
Centres are located in the heart of Sydney
and Melbourne, allowing students to enjoy
city living with access to transport, shops,
restaurants and entertainment venues.
Personalised contact with
dedicated academics
Smaller class sizes give students more
personalised and regular contact with
academics. CSU's teachers and lecturers
are professionals with practical and relevant
industry experience, and are supported
by well-researched curricula and teaching
methodologies. These result in high levels
of satisfaction among graduates, employers
and University partners.
Advanced learning and
teaching facilities
As a CSU student, you will have access
to a range of state-of-the-art facilities on
campus, giving you experience working with
the equipment, software and professional
environments you will find in the workplace.

access to the latest software in computer
laboratories, or be able to showcase
your work in gallery spaces and studios
on campus. You will also have access
to thousands of printed and electronic
resources through CSU's libraries.
For more information about CSU's learning
and teaching facilities, see pages 22 and 23.
The CSU family

regional New South Wales, the Australian
Capital Territory (ACT), Sydney, Melbourne

one of the largest universities in Australia,

Wherever you choose to study, you will
quickly become part of the CSU family.

study options, helping students fit study
around work and lifestyle commitments.

About Australia
Australia is a safe and welcoming country with
one of the highest standards of living in the world.
CHINA
HONG KONG
CAMBODIA
Approximately 25% of the population of Australia was born
overseas and 17% of Australians speak a language other than
English at home, making it one of the most multicultural countries
in the world. Australia is home to a diverse range of religions, and
the Australian Constitution protects an individual’s right to freely
practise their religion.
Australians love their arts as much as they love their sport. As an
international student studying at CSU, you can enjoy access to
a variety of cultural activities whether you’re living on one of our
regional campuses or studying at locations in Canberra, Melbourne
or Sydney. Art galleries, sporting matches, food and wine festivals,
historic museums, theatres, music, animation and film festivals are
just some of the cultural activities you can experience.
Australia may be a young country but its Indigenous inhabitants,
the Australian Aborigines, have one of the longest-surviving cultures
in the world. CSU’s regional campuses are located within the area
occupied by NSW’s largest Aboriginal group, the Wiradjuri. CSU
acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands on which its
campuses are located, paying respect to the Elders, both past and
present, and extending that respect to all Indigenous Australians.
Travel opportunities within Australia are endless. From the tropical
rainforests in Queensland to the vast open deserts of the Northern
Territory and the Snowy Mountains of southern NSW, the Australian
landscape has much to offer. Due to its physical isolation from
other countries, Australia is also home to many plants and animals
that are not found anywhere else in the world, such as the
well-known kangaroo, which can often be seen in the grounds of
CSU’s regional campuses.

"Living on campus has been fun, meeting new
people. It’s great when I come home feeling really tired
and seeing happy faces just lifts my mood. It’s also
really convenient when you have an essay due and
you're only 10 minutes' walk from all the resources.
“I feel like my course is preparing me for the
workforce. The lecturers are committed, friendly and
very approachable, which makes studies a lot easier.
We often have guest lecturers who share with us their
experience in the dietetics field, giving us a broader
understanding of what dietitians do.
"My first clinical placement provided me a great
learning experience and it helped me know that I
was on the right track. This has been one of the
best decisions I have made in my life. I would truly
recommend it.”

LIVING AT
On campus accommodation
DID YOU KNOW?
Living on campus means living in a specially
designed and managed residence on or near
the campus. Few universities in Australia can
match the range of accommodation available

package options available.
Moving to a country where the culture is different and you don’t know anybody

make friends and feel at home.
At CSU, we have a range of affordable accommodation available across our campuses
to suit your lifestyle and budget. You’ll develop lifelong friendships with Australian and
international students from a variety of backgrounds enrolled in a diverse range of courses.
The Halls of Residence at CSU are not just a place to call home, but a place where you
can actively work with others to promote a strong, vibrant, inclusive and caring residential
community.

student profile
Name: Mandeep Singh
Course: Bachelor of Physiotherapy
“I chose to study Physiotherapy at CSU because it
had a good reputation and Albury-Wodonga had all
the attractions of a big city without the costs.
“Living and studying in a smaller community has also
allowed me to meet many different people. I have
shared a house with an Australian and a Korean, so
we exposed each other to new styles of cooking and
each other’s cultures.
“Everyone here is so friendly and it is very easy to
get involved in social activities. I am a member of the
Physio Club, which has provided a great opportunity
to meet other physiotherapy students and take
advantage of some of the extra-curricular activities
available in the local area.
“It’s not just the other students who are friendly
though. The teachers are very friendly and accessible
and, above all, they provide extra time for international
students.”

knowledge and skills required for
success at a tertiary level. You may
choose to undertake a STUDY LINK
subject before enrolment at CSU or

Creating ‘job ready’ graduates
– career development support
Getting a job after graduation is a key motivator for
your University study, and CSU aims to prepare you
effectively for today’s global workforce.
CSU is a national leader in producing 'job ready' graduates through courses with
a strong professional experience component. Many of our undergraduate courses
include workplace learning opportunities from the first year of study. Internships,
field trips and placements play an important role in gaining practical experience,
and ensure you have the opportunity to build relationships with prospective
employers from the start. Students from many CSU courses are offered jobs before
they graduate, often due to the internship or work placement they complete as part
of their course.
CSU career development services include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
resumé review (for up to one year after graduation)
insurance cover for extra-curricular workplace learning
individual appointments with a Career Development Officer
career development workshops
access to employment options
career resources (printed and online)
job application coaching
Whether you are in the first or final year of study, there is always a career
development activity you can undertake or some careers information to discover
that can improve your longer-term career management.
CSU’s CareerHub provides students career and employment opportunities online,
where CSU students and graduates can search for:
• graduate employment, vacation work, international opportunities, part-time
and casual work, work experience and internships
• employer recruitment presentations, careers fairs, industry networking events,
career planning, and employment preparation workshops
• info sheets, links, news, and FAQs.
DID YOU KNOW?
CSU’s career development workshops are run both on campus and online and include
subjects such as: Start a Career Action Plan, Career Decision Making, Employability
Skills, Let Your Careers Service Work For You, Addressing Job Selection Criteria,
Resumé Writing, and Job Interviews.

Pathways to CSU
At Charles Sturt University (CSU), we provide a range of pathways that enable
students to study with us. These pathways include alliances and networks with a
range of education providers around the world to recognise programs for entry and
credit. If we don't have an existing credit agreement for your qualification, please
apply directly to CSU and your credit for previous study will be assessed individually.
Our CSU Study Centres in Sydney and Melbourne have built on our strong
relationships with Study Group through Martin College and Taylors UniLink.
Taylors UniLink Diplomas are offered at the CSU Study Centre Melbourne and are
comparable to the first year of a bachelor degree. The Taylors UniLink Diploma
consists of 12 academic units with an academic load of four subjects per session.
Each session is made up of 12 teaching weeks. Class sizes are small to maximise
interaction and feedback from the lecturing staff.
International students who have an Australian Year 11 or overseas equivalent can
gain entry to the CSU Associate Degree or Bachelor programs via the Martin College
Sydney Diploma and Advanced Diploma courses. You can start a course at Certificate
level and then build towards your Diploma or Advanced Diploma, then continue on to
a CSU degree.
For more information, please see the CSU Study Centre prospectus online at:
www.csu.edu.au/about/publications
TAFE pathways
Interested in
TAFE study first?
CSU works closely with TAFE to help you get the qualifications you
need with minimum additional study. From receiving credit for previous
study to undertaking joint programs, we will work with you to ensure
you reach your goals.
CSU provides academic credit for many TAFE qualifications, which means you
could fast-track completion of a university degree.
As a general guideline:
• a TAFE Diploma delivered in Australia will generate credit worth up to
one year of a three-year degree at CSU, which means you could graduate
with a full Bachelor degree in just two years of full-time university study.
• with an Advanced Diploma, you may receive credit worth up to two years
of a three-year degree, allowing you to complete your degree in just over
one year of full-time university study.
If you are not sure what you want to
study at University, contact one of
our friendly student advisers on
1800 334 733 (within Australia) or
+61 2 6338 6077 (outside Australia) to
discuss your interests and options.
Note: The amount of credit awarded will vary across courses and is therefore
assessed on a case-by-case basis upon submission of an application for
admission. Confirmation of approved credit will be made when the student
receives an offer of admission to CSU.

Distance education
A university degree completed by distance
education provides you with the flexibility to
continue your existing commitments – like
work or family – while gaining the same
qualifications as on campus students.
You are not committed to attending lectures
and tutorials, and can work your way through
the course material at a pace and time
that suits you, whether that is early in the
morning, late at night or you have time to
study during the day.
CSU has a huge network
of more than
24,000
distance education
students from across
Australia and around
the world.
Practical placements
If your course requires you to undertake
practical placements, you may request these
to be undertaken in your home country, and
in some cases your current workplace, if
suitable.
Time management
Distance education students usually study
part-time, taking two subjects per session,
with each subject needing between 140
and 160 hours of study in total (around 8-10
hours each week). You can often vary your
study load to fit in with your schedule – from
one subject per session to four or five.
DID YOU KNOW?
Distance education can be the perfect
solution to help you get the degree you
have always wanted, even if you now have
a family or work full-time.
Visit: www.csu.edu.au/distance-education
Study tools
Each subject you are studying will have its
own site on CSU Interact, which will provide
a range of learning resources, including
online and digital media. You will also be able
to access all the information about when
assignments are due, when any residential
schools will be held and what texts you will
need.
DVDs, CD-ROMs, texts and interactive
teaching methods combine with CSU’s
excellent online system, allowing you to
access study materials and information, and
communicate with your lecturers and other
students at a time that suits you.
CSU’s comprehensive use of technology
enables you to access online forums, wikis,
blogs, podcasts and library resources to
search the catalogues and read or download
articles, as well as online assignment
submission.
Lecturers may also use videoconferencing
or on campus residential schools to ensure
you receive the best learning and teaching
experience while studying by distance
education. They may also use the Online
Meeting tool in CSU Interact for tutorials,
teaching and other interactive support.
Assessment
When you study by distance education, your
assessment tasks are equivalent to those of
on campus students.
Results achieved in essays, examinations,
online assessments or seminars serve as a
guide to your progress and understanding
of a topic. Assignments can be submitted
electronically or by mail.
You can attend examinations at locations
in most metropolitan and regional centres
throughout Australia, or in one of our
examination centres in most major cities
around the world. No student is required
to travel more than 120km to attend an
examination.
Studying by distance education can
be a great way to fit study into your
lifestyle and gain the degree you have
always wanted, without the cost or
inconvenience of moving away
from home.
30
Residential schools
Self-directed learning
Some subjects offered by distance education
have residential schools, which are held on
the campus that administers your course.
Residential schools are designed to provide
students with the opportunity to meet with
lecturers and fellow students in person,
undertake practical work or laboratory
sessions, attend lectures and discuss study
topics in depth, clarifying any queries. They
also allow students to familiarise themselves
with the University and its resources.
While CSU provides a range of resources
and support services to help make distance
education easy, it is your responsibility to
make time for study.
Residential schools are usually conducted in
the break before each session, or
mid-session. They vary from one to five
days in duration and are generally scheduled
between 9am and 5pm. While attendance at
some residential schools is compulsory, they
are often optional, so please ask your Course
Director.
You will be advised of any residential school
requirements when you receive your study
pack – or you can check through your
subject information online once you enrol.
Reminders for residential schools are sent to
students enrolled in relevant subjects.
Courses with residential schools can be
found in the international distance education
course list at: www.csu.edu.au/international/
fees-and-costs
On campus accommodation in the student
residences is often available during
residential schools.
TESTIMONIAL
“CSU has given me the flexibility to be able
to study in my own time without actually
having to be on campus.”
David James,
CSU distance education student
Distance education students have
access to CSU’s resources such
as libraries, lecturers and online
counselling, as well as on campus
facilities.
Distance education students develop
the skills to motivate themselves, work
unsupervised, and set deadlines for
themselves as independent learners and
workers.
Upon graduation, students will be able
to demonstrate their ability to focus on
tasks and meet deadlines, boosting their
employability.

Cost of study
Cost of living
Australia is a sophisticated, friendly and
affordable country that enjoys one of the
highest standards of living in the world.
Regional campuses
The overall cost of obtaining a degree at CSU
is very competitive when compared to other
universities in Australia, and our students
find that the cost of living is less in a regional
centre compared to metropolitan locations.
As a guide, the Department of Immigration
and Citizenship (DIAC) advises the
estimated cost for a single student studying
in Australia (including accommodation,
meals, textbooks, personal incidentals,
transportation and entertainment) comes to a
total of approximately AUD$1,550 per month
(AUD$18,610 per year). If you intend to
bring your spouse, you will need at least an
additional AUD$6,515 per year, AUD$3,720
per year for your first child and AUD$2,790
per year for every other child, as well as fees
for your children’s education. In addition to
this amount there will be the cost of a return
trip home and international phone calls.
For more information, please refer to the
DIAC website: www.immi.gov.au/students
Students with families
Students with families who wish to bring their
dependants with them to Australia will need
to be:
• eligible for streamlined visa processing
• assessment level 1 or 2
• assessment level 3 or 4 and completing
a course longer than 12 months, or
have been in Australia for 12 months
or longer.
Students' assessment level is determined
by their course of study and nationality. For
more information, visit: www.immi.gov.au/
students/students/bringing_family
School-aged dependent children (between
ages five and 18) in Australia for three
months or more are required to be enrolled in
school. You will be required to pay full
fees to enrol your children in either a
government or non-government school,
however, NSW government school
education fees are waived for the
dependants of international postgraduate
doctorate students, with the exception of
King Abdullah scholarship holders. For an
indication of school fees, visit:
Tuition fees
You should refer to the fees list for the tuition
fee of the course you wish to study. This can
be found online through the online course
brochures or: www.csu.edu.au/international/
fees-and-costs
Please note that tuition fees are shown in
Australian dollars as subject, session and
annual amounts.
Fees can be paid by telegraphic transfer,
bank draft or credit card. CSU accepts most
major credit cards.
DID YOU KNOW?
International students are eligible to apply
for most CSU Foundation Scholarships.
www.csu.edu/scholarships/foundation
www.detinternational.nsw.edu.au/schools
Working in Australia
International students are permitted to
work up to 40 hours a fortnight during
each session, however there is significant
competition for part-time work. You should
not expect that money earned from a
part-time job will cover tuition fees.
Your rights as an international student
The Education Services for Overseas Students Act 2000, or 'ESOS Act', provides the
regulatory requirements for education and training institutions offering courses to
international students in Australia on a student visa.
As an international student, the Australian Government is committed to ensuring
you have a great education experience in Australia.
The ESOS Act and related laws protect international students through:
• the ESOS legislation and recent reforms
• the National Code
• the Overseas Students Ombudsman
• the Tuition Protection Service

Some other costs
When trying to work out your budget to study
at CSU, consider this as an approximate guide:
Accommodation – on campus
accommodation ranges from around
AUD$185 per week for self-catered
accommodation to around AUD$345 per
week for a fully-catered premium residence.
In addition to the quoted package students
are required to pay a one-off application and
orientation fee, an information technology
levy and a washing machine levy per session.
Private rental in one of CSU's campus cities
can start from about AUD$200 per week.
www.csu.edu.au/oncampus/
accommodation/on-campus/fees
Books – textbook costs vary depending
on your course and whether you share
textbooks or buy them new or
second-hand. New textbooks can cost from
around AUD$100 per subject per session.
Workplace learning – if your course involves
workplace learning such as clinical or
professional placements, there may be costs
for travel to and accommodation while on
placement, which the student pays.
Uniforms or special equipment – some
courses at CSU require you to purchase
special equipment or to wear a uniform.
Please check the online course brochures
regarding these costs.
Clothes – this will depend on personal
preference. Our campus cities have some
fabulous shops for the bargain hunter.
Groceries – allow AUD$70-$100 per week
Travel expenses – this really depends on
where you live. If you live on or close to
campus, then many things you will need are
within walking distance. If you live
off campus, then you have to consider fuel or
public transport costs. Between
AUD$20-$50 per week is an estimate, but
it will cost you more if you own your own
car. There is no charge for parking at CSU's
regional campuses.
Entertainment – usually worked out from the
Other compulsory fees
Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC)
As an overseas student, you are required
to have Overseas Student Health Cover
for the duration of your student visa in
Australia. OSHC will help you to pay for
most medical and hospital care you may
need while studying in Australia, and covers
you for doctors, hospitals, ambulance and
prescription medication. CSU will assist you
in obtaining your OSHC membership. For
more information, visit: www.csu.edu.au/
international/preparing-for-arrival
International exchange rates
All tuition fees are in Australian dollars. An
easy exchange rate calculator is available at:
www.xe.com/ucc/convert.cgi
Alternatively, your bank or financial institution
will have the latest exchange rates to
Australian dollars. When in Australia, most
Australian banks are able to exchange most
common foreign currencies and are usually
open Monday to Friday.
For students from AL1 and AL2 countries,
the initial payment to CSU must cover the

student profile
Name: Keely Snider
Study Abroad student from Lakehead University,
Canada
“I have always wanted to see Australia and have the
opportunity to meet new people and experience a
new culture first-hand. What I enjoyed most about
CSU were the people – not only my friends but also
my lecturers. Studying an Arts program ensured there
was always something new and exciting going on,
which made it fun to go to class.
“Living on campus is the best way to go as everything
is already there for you and you do not have to cook.
You also meet so many people. I found it very easy to
make friends and found everyone very welcoming and
friendly. They were willing to invite me places. With the
easy-going Australian lifestyle, everyone is accepted.
“Studying abroad is an experience of a lifetime and
you will love every minute of it. The experience you
get from studying at CSU and travelling is one you
will remember forever. You should not miss out on the
opportunity.”

Courses information
Levels of study
Postgraduate
Postgraduate study is normally
undertaken after a Bachelor degree has
been successfully completed. This may
be immediately on conclusion of the
undergraduate degree, or after a period in
the workforce, and sometimes practical
work experience is a requirement of entry.
Undergraduate
Undergraduate study is a student’s entry
level at university. While most undergraduate
study is at Bachelor degree level, students
may also enrol in or exit with a University
Certificate or Associate Degree from some
courses.
These courses are equivalent to eight
standard subjects and usually completed in
one year of full-time study (or equivalent).
Associate Degree
A broad-based undergraduate degree that
is usually completed in two years of full-time
study (or equivalent). An Associate Degree is
often articulated with a Bachelor degree, and
students gain credit in the Bachelor degree
for all subjects studied.
Graduate degrees include Graduate
Certificate and Graduate Diploma and
usually require no previous study in that
discipline area. Postgraduate degree levels
include Postgraduate Diploma, Master or
Doctorate (PhD). For postgraduate awards,
students are required to have previous study
or experience in the same discipline area as
the award, so that the postgraduate course
builds on that earlier study or knowledge.
Bachelor degree
A Bachelor degree is awarded to a
student who has completed studies in an
undergraduate course, usually in three or
four years of full-time study. Many Bachelor
degrees also incorporate a year of Honours
study, offering a pass stream or Honours
stream. A student can enhance their career
opportunities by completing a double
degree, which integrates studies in two
complementary areas resulting in the award
of two degrees, usually after four years of
study.
Higher degree by coursework: If you’re
studying a Master degree, you can combine
coursework or independent study (at
least one-third of your program) with a
dissertation.
On the following pages, you will find CSU’s
undergraduate courses offered for 2014.
To help you to find the course that’s right
for you, the courses are divided into career
areas as listed in the contents.
CSU also offers a range of courses by
distance education. To find out more, visit:

About the course
Consultation with industry leaders in
the agricultural sector has identified the
need for graduates skilled in business,
management and finance who also have
technical agricultural training, and better
trained managers of agricultural production
enterprises. The Bachelor of Agricultural
Business Management has been tailored to
ensure it delivers such graduates.
Careers in agribusiness are not necessarily
involved in production agriculture. This course
is designed to provide career opportunities at
any point in the supply chain, from within the
farm gate through to export and marketing of
agriproducts, as well as within the industries
that service agriculture.
Employment opportunities range from the
rural service industries of regional Australia
to international trade and finance activities
undertaken by multinational corporations. You
will have many career options as you acquire
expertise in marketing, accounting, finance,
people management, international business,
agricultural enterprise management, and
sustainable resource management.
Students focus on an area of interest by selecting
from one of two majors; Agribusiness or Farm
Management (Agronomy and Livestock).

About the course
Allied Health
The demand for dental therapists and hygienists
in the public and private sectors of dental
health services is high, especially so in rural and
remote areas. Bachelor of Oral Health (Therapy /
Hygiene) graduates will have a direct impact on
the oral health and general health of current and
future generations.
Dental therapists are clinicians who examine
and treat diseases of the teeth in children
and adolescents through primary to
secondary school. They do so under the
general supervision of a dentist. This includes
preventive and restorative work in deciduous
and permanent teeth, some minor oral surgical
procedures, and initial trauma management.
Dental hygienists are clinicians who assist
dentists in the treatment of patients. They
provide skilled preventive services to all
patient age groups. Although hygienists work
in collaboration with a dentist to determine
treatment therapies for each patient, they work
independently to deliver these services.
Graduates could work in any of the following:
•
clinical practice in dental hygiene or
dental therapy
• public dental services
• dental and health administration
• education
• industry or university-based research
• consumer advocacy
Workplace learning
Students will undertake intense clinical practice
sessions using state-of-the-art simulation
equipment in new, purpose-built facilities. There
will be the opportunity to engage in clinical
practice at a variety of sites (University and
community, rural and metropolitan) to gain
optimal professional experience.

within the overall framework of the churches in
Australia and across the world at the corporate
and congregational levels of denominations,
universities, military, corrective services,
police, ambulance, trade and industry, and like

APPLYING TO CSU
Steamlined Visa
Processing arrangements
Future international students should
obtain official advice on the student visa
application process and requirements from
the Australian Department of Immigration
and Citizenship (DIAC) website at:
www.immi.gov.au/students/
CSU is approved by the Australian
Government for the Streamlined Visa
Processing arrangements (SVP) for
prospective international students studying
in Australia, introduced in early 2012.
SVP is designed to provide faster, more
streamlined student visa processing and
generally reduce evidentiary requirements
for prospective international students.
Under SVP, DIAC will assess student visa
applicants who lodge their applications
with a Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE)
from CSU at Bachelor, Master or Doctoral
degree level as though they were a lower
migration risk (Level 1), regardless of their
country of origin. The intention is that the
vast majority of prospective students can
be confident that they will have their visa
applications processed quickly and with
reduced evidentiary requirements.
The important requirement for students
to be assessed at this lower level is that
CSU must only issue CoEs to prospective
international students who are assessed
by CSU to be Genuine Temporary Entrants
(GTEs). In order to ensure this, CSU’s
application process now involves an
interview assessment by CSU Admissions
with direct applicants, and CSU may
request certain additional documentation
and information from applicants if
required, which will be detailed in the letter
of offer. Based on the interview and the
information provided, CSU will assess
whether the applicant is a GTE before
issuing a CoE. Applicants cannot apply
to DIAC for a student visa without a CoE
having been issued.
For applicants who use a CSU
International Agent, the GTE assessment
will be conducted by the International
Agent. The International Agent will then
submit a GTE Certification to CSU
Admissions verifying that the assessment
has been completed and that they have
assessed the applicant as a GTE.
For further information in relation to CSU’s
SVP arrangements please see:

secondary school results to support their
application for admission.
The programs and scores currently recognised

Academic qualifications

assessed as part of the admissions process.
Applicants are also required to submit a
300-word research proposal outlining the
intended area of research. You are advised to
contact the Research Office by email at:
[email protected] with a brief outline of
your intended research so that we can put
you in contact with academic staff to discuss
the suitability of your research topic prior to
submitting your application. The higher degree
by research additional form can be downloaded

Competitive entry courses
Competitive entry courses have early
application deadlines (usually the end of
September). These include undergraduate
degrees in dental science, pharmacy,
physiotherapy and veterinary science. They
may involve longer turnaround times due to
the assessment of additional criteria including
supplementary forms and interviews.
Internet access
CSU places great emphasis on services to
its students. It is a leader in the provision
of online services and, in particular, the use
of the internet in the support of teaching,
administration and communications with

integrated into all aspects of student life

at CSU will have ongoing access to an
internet connected computer capable of
communicating with CSU online systems
