THIS GUIDE IS DESIGNED TO HELP YEAR 1O STUDENTS PLAN THEIR YEAR 11 & 12 STUDIES IN PREPARATION FOR THE MANY OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO THEM AFTER FINISHING SCHOOL.
Going to university is an achievable goal for students who want to pursue their dream career.
As a Year 10 student, heading into your senior years of high school can be the most exciting and life-changing times of your schooling life. It is a time for becoming more independent, taking control of your future and embracing opportunities that will get you where you want to go.
The subject choices you make in Years 11 and 12 could help prepare you for university study and lead you to achieving your dream career.
Charles Sturt University (CSU) offers an extensive range of hands-on undergraduate degrees that cater for all kinds of interests. Turn the pages of this booklet to find out more about what life as a university student could be like and explore how CSU can help you to Choose Your Career!
4 CHOOSE YOUR CAREER
Choosing your subjectsYour subject choice should reflect your strengths and passions, and support your career aspirations. After all, you’re more likely to achieve the ATAR you need to get into your chosen couse if you enjoy what you are studying! If you are a creative person, selecting subjects in the Arts would be a good choice, just as choosing Science subjects would help if you aim to work in health care or science-related industries.
Some university courses assume you’ve already learned some things about the topic, so it is important to find out if there is any assumed knowledge or recommended studies for the university course you’re interested in when making your school subject choices. Doing some research and following your passion can reallyhelp to set you up to succeed.
Getting into uniOnce you have completed your senior studies and taken your final Year 12 exams, your hard work will be rewarded with an ATAR ranking. School leavers are generally offered a place in a university course based on their ATAR, however you may also be admitted on the basis of strong performance in subjects relevant to your course preference.
Some courses have other selection processes such as interviews, auditions, submission of portfolios and/or completion of questionnaires in addition to the usual University entry requirements. To find out if there are specific admission requirements for the CSU course you’re interested in, visit the online course brochure at: www.csu.edu.au/courses

Life after high school: what are my options?Your final years of high school will be action-packed with study, the excitement of planning for the future and fun times with friends. It’s a good idea to consider how you would like to approach this next chapter. You may choose to embark on your university journey right after school, or:
• take a gap year and travel the world
• undertake an apprenticeship
• attend TAFE
• get a full-time job.
If you decide to take a gap year to travel or work, you can accept an offer in a university degree but not start studying until six, 12, 18 or even 24 months later just by deferring your offer. You even have the option of studying part-time for some courses so you can work, or try our Single Subject Study option.

STAGE OFYOUR LIFE
CHOOSE YOUR CAREER 5
Still deciding on your future career?If you don’t know what course you would like to study at university just yet, or if you change your mind about your career direction after you start, it’s completely fine, because:
• some CSU degrees have similar subjects at the start, allowing you to start one course and apply to transfer to another if you have a change of mind after the first year. Credit may be available for some completed subjects
• you can tailor your study to suit your own needs and interests with one of CSU’s general studies courses, including the Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Business Studies, Bachelor of Educational Studies, Bachelor of General Studies (Science) and the Bachelor of Liberal Studies (Arts)
• students can also study one subject at a time through CSU’s Single Subject Study program, which is a great way to sample university study before beginning your degree.
Pathways to uniCSU offers pathways and study preparation programs to help improve the skills you’ll need at university:
• STUDY LINK offers short courses to prepare you for university study before you even start your course
• the Diploma of General Studies is offered to recent school leavers who are interested in studying at CSU but do not meet the entry criteria or who require further preparation
• CSU and TAFE offer a range of articulated and integrated programs.

WHAT TEACHING FACILITIES ARE THERE?
Gain hands-on experienceGetting some work experience related to the course of your choice can really help you stand out from the crowd when applying for courses that have a high ATAR, or which ask you to submit a portfolio or attend an interview, as it demonstrates your enthusiasm and commitment.
Work experience allows you to participate in the daily activities of a profession and provides the perfect taste of a career area before you commit to univeristy study. The key to making the most of work experience opportunities is to work in different industries so you can compare career areas and find out which one best suits your interests.
Produce a portfolioSome courses require you to complete a portfolio as part of your application. This is a great opportunity to show us your hidden talents and full potential! It’s never too early to make a start on collecting examples of your best work, as you can continue to add to this during the final years of school. Having a wide range of examples will allow you to refine your portfolio later on. You should also include any work completed while on work experience in your portfolio.
Give back to the communityStudents who give their time and effort to community service are highly valued by CSU. Giving back to the community by becoming a volunteer, lending your time to charity or assisting with a community organisation can not only be rewarding but may assist you when applying for scholarships.
There are many ways you can serve your community, whether it be picking up rubbish on Clean Up Australia Day, participating in Relay For Life, or contributing articles to your local newspaper.
CSU is committed to serving its regional communities. Our students conduct practical placements in local hospitals, newsrooms, schools and small businesses, gaining the skills they need to enter the workforce while at the same time serving the community in which they are studying.

If you’re interested in attending TAFE after you finish school, university could still be an option down the track. Many TAFE courses provide a pathway to CSU degrees by recognising your prior learning allowing credit for previous TAFE study, or you can complete an integrated program where you study through both TAFE and CSU at the same time, and graduate with two qualifications.
CSU has established partnerships with many TAFEs across NSW, ACT and Victoria and set up pathway courses across a range of fields including Accounting, Agricultural Business Management, Business Studies, Education, Graphic Design, Health and Rehabilitation Science, Hotel Management, Information Technology, Outdoor Recreation and Ecotourism, and Social Work. CSU offers special scholarships for TAFE students too.

Imagine if you had the opportunity to travel the world while getting your degree. Well, you can with CSU Global!
If you want to be a truly global graduate, why not look into studying overseas on an exchange program, study tour, international internship or volunteer work to give your degree an international flavour and yourself a cultural experience with memories to last a lifetime?
There is a range of scholarships and loans available from CSU Global and the Australian government to help fund your study adventure.
Our students have travelled and studied across the globe to places such as Canada, China, England, France, Ireland, Japan, the Netherlands, the Republic of South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland and the USA, and the list is always growing.

CostsWith independence comes responsibility, especially the need to organise your cash flow. Being prepared for the costs of university means you should still be able to afford to do the things you enjoy doing. When preparing for university life, in addition to course fees and the Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF) be aware of likely costs such as accommodation, books, groceries, meals, transport and entertainment, and plan accordingly.
Our students find that the cost of living is lower in a regional centre compared to metropolitan locations, so the overall cost of completing a degree at CSU is usually less than most other universities in Australia. We also have free on campus parking.
AccommodationMeal plans vary depending on your accommodation type. Self-catered and off campus accommodation do not include meals, although food is available for purchase on campus at reasonable prices.
Below are some costs to consider. Textbooks are additional to these estimates, however may often be purchased second-hand.
The below on campus prices are estimates only based on 2015 Package 2 fees, and vary depending on campus location.

Help with costsGovernment allowances are available to eligible students to help make the financial cost of study more manageable. HECS-HELP is a loan scheme that assists eligible Commonwealth supported students to pay their student contribution. The government pays your uni fees upfront then, when you start working, you begin to repay your HECS-HELP loan from your pay through the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). Information is available from the ATO.
Youth Allowance provides assistance for young people who are studying full-time. It allows young people to stay on the one payment as they move between work, study and training.

ScholarshipsBeing granted a scholarship at Charles Sturt University may be easier than you think, and now is the time to start planning.
With our wide range of scholarships including course related accommodation, equity or excellence scholarships, there’s bound to be more than one that you should apply for. The best thing is that selection criteria are not always based on academic achievement. Other criteria can include motivation to succeed, commitment to school, university or community life, or coming from a particular area. Scholarships may include other criteria set by industry donors, or be aimed at students experiencing educational disadvantage or financial hardship.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Who will help make sure I can complete my assessments?
When you’re at uni, you are responsible for ensuring you hand in your assignments on time,
however CSU offers great student support and assistance with library resources. You can always ask your lecturers, and you can set up a student group to discuss issues using the forums online.
How will I make
friends at uni?
Many CSU students have
relocated for study and are
looking to make new friends.
Extra-curricular activities offered
by CSU provide opportunities to
establish networks away from the
classroom, helping to form the
friendships you will cherish for life.
Is there support
available for Science students?
CSU’s Sci-FYE program will give you all the
support you need to make your first
year experience a positive one. You’ll have
access to a range of resources to help
with your first assignments, as well
as advice from current students.
How many hours can I expect to study a week?
A full-time course requires attendance at lectures and tutorials, forum participation and study that
can total around 35 hours per week – equivalent to a full-time job.
You may not have to attend classes every day, but should do some review, class preparation or assignment work most days
to ensure you do well.
What if I don’t
like the course I’ve chosen?
It’s all about flexibility and support at CSU.
A number of courses have similar subjects in their
first year, so you may be able to apply to change
to another course at the end of the year.
There are cut-off dates for changes, so please ask early.
16 CHOOSE YOUR CAREER
While some students already know what they would like to do before they reach Years 11 and 12, there are just as many students who don’t have any idea, and these days knowing what you want to do is not so important.
Today’s student is likely to change their career three or more times in the course of their adult life. It is most important to choose to study what you enjoy most. You are more likely to do well in it, and that translates to success in life after uni.
CSU’s courses also offer diversity and flexibility. You can study something as focused as photography, dentistry, accountancy, veterinary science, teaching or physiotherapy. Or if you want to keep your options open, investigate one of our general degrees, available in Arts, Business, Education or Science. These courses offer open entry – so you don’t need a high ATAR to get in.
Another option is one of our widely recognised degrees, such as the Bachelor of Arts, that allows you freedom to select a course of study to suit your interests. Majors are available in Art History, English, History, Indigenous Studies, Philosophy, Psychology, Politics and Sociology, providing an excellent start into a wide range of careers.

WATCH THIS SPACE WHAT’S YOUR
DREAM CAREER?
Assumed knowledge – refers to subjects the University assumes you will have completed at school prior to starting the course.
ATAR – Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank. The figure is used by UAC / VTAC to calculate the entrance ranking for on campus courses.
Bachelor degree – the award a student gains when they have completed studies in an undergraduate course, which is usually completed in three or four years of full-time study.
Commonwealth supported place (CSP) – a student’s enrolment in a university degree for which the Commonwealth government makes a contribution towards the cost of that student’s education.
Double degree – a student can enhance their career opportunities by completing a double degree. This integrates studies in two complementary areas resulting in the award of two degrees, usually after four years of study.
Defer – to delay starting your course. Deferring your offer of a place in a course means you would like to start your course in six, 12, 18 or 24 months. Deferment ensures you are guaranteed your place in your selected course, but allows you some ‘breathing space’ between the demands of the HSC and starting a new life at university.
Faculty – a department within a university devoted to a particular area of study. At CSU we have the faculties of Arts, Business, Education and Science.
HECS-HELP – a loan scheme that assists eligible Commonwealth supported students to pay their student contribution. You may pay your student contribution upfront to CSU and receive a 10% discount*, or defer payment through the Australian taxation system via a HECS-HELP loan.
Honours – some four-year Bachelor degrees integrate a year of Honours study, offering a pass stream or Honours stream in the final year of the course. The Honours year allows students to focus on an area that interests them and develop research skills, and this may be helpful with career prospects on completion. Some three-year courses offer a separate year of Honours study in which you can enrol when you finish your degree.
Lecture – a period of teaching given by a lecturer to a large group of students.
Major study – an area within a course that allows in-depth study in a particular field. A major usually consists of eight related subjects. More than one major may be allowed in a course.
Minor study – a grouping of between four and seven subjects within a course, allowing students to focus on a particular field.
Prerequisite – a set of conditions (usually completion of a subject) that must be met by a student before enrolment in a particular subject is permitted.
Prospective Student Adviser (PSA) CSU has several PSAs who are available to discuss CSU course options with prospective students.
SSAF – Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF) provides universities with the means to maintain and enhance services and amenities that support a wide range of student needs.
Tutorial – a period of teaching given to a small group of students, involving discussion and participation.
UAC – Universities Admissions Centre (NSW and ACT) Pty Ltd. All NSW and ACT students who wish to apply for full-time on campus courses must apply online through UAC or VTAC.
Undergraduate – a person studying at university for a first level degree, e.g. at Bachelor level.
VTAC – Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre. Students doing Year 12 in Victoria who want to study at CSU in Albury-Wodonga or through Holmesglen Institute of TAFE can apply through VTAC.
Workplace learning – practical training in a working environment, such as internships or practicums, similar to work experience. Many CSU degrees incorporate this as part of your hands-on learning.
