What is ‘distance education’?If you lead a busy lifestyle, juggle a number of roles or live away from campus but want to study a degree, distance education is perfect for you.

You don’t have to give up your job or your life to undertake distance education – it is possible to have the best of both worlds. If you’re interested in career advancement, you can earn while you learn by fitting study around your employment. We also recognise it is not always possible for those who want to learn to study on campus – even if you live in one of our campus cities.

At CSU, we’re committed to providing an accessible and effective learning environment for all students, regardless of location or mode of study. You can realise your academic goals and gain an industry recognised qualification without having to come on campus or be locked into a schedule of classes.

Distance education students don’t have to travel to campus; they normally study part-time and fit their learning around their existing work and family commitments so study becomes part of their daily schedule. With CSU, distance education allows you to get ahead without putting your life on hold.

Studying with CSU

How does distance education work? A degree gained by distance education is just the same as that course studied on campus, only more convenient to you. Your study materials are made available online so you can access them from almost anywhere in the world at a time that suits you. The materials can include readings and study guides, podcasts, quizzes or interactive activities – it really depends on the course. You can complete assessment tasks, submit assignments, access online tools and connect with other students and your lecturers, all from the comfort of your home, on the road, or wherever else you may be.

Studying on the go is made easy as you can access your subjects and study materials on your smart phone or iPad. There is no lugging heavy textbooks to class when the classroom is a virtual one and you will be amazed at how strong your organisational skills become as you learn to motivate yourself and control your own learning.

Depending on your course, you may be required to attend residential schools on campus or engage in workplace learning. These are fantastic learning experiences that give you hands-on practical skills, interaction with other distance education students or real connections with your industry or profession.

What you can expect:

• as a part-time student, usually you will study two 8 point subjects per session, however this can be changed according to your needs. You can study from one to four 8 point subjects per session with permission from your Course Director

• most courses have two sessions per year (Session 1 starting in February and Session 2 starting in July) but some can have three sessions (Session 3 starting in November). Some courses allow you to study in three sessions

• for each 8 point subject, you can expect to spend between eight to 10 hours per week engaged in the specified learning and assessment activities that may include assigned readings, assignments, residential schools, workplace learning, forum activity, examinations and individual or group research.

“I enjoyed the flexibility that part-time distance education gave me to study when it was convenient for me and at my own pace. The departmental staff were extremely helpful and approachable. The subject material was interesting and the assignments were stimulating and relevant. There was also some flexibility in my subject choice that

allowed me to enrol in a few modules from other related disciplines that I thought would be of benefit to my career development.”

Helen Tait, CSU distance education graduate

Residential schoolsDistance education students get a taste of life on campus and gain a real sense of belonging to the CSU community when they attend an on campus residential school. Some subjects have compulsory residential schools during session breaks, varying from one to five days in duration.

This is a great opportunity for sharing information and asking questions where you can find real value in group discussions and hands-on activities such as lab work, practical lessons, delivering presentations or working on projects.

If your course includes optional residential schools, you should take full advantage and join your classmates for an enriching university experience that will benefit your study and help build your networks.

Workplace learningYour course may include workplace learning where you will undertake placement either during teaching sessions or on a session break. Workplace learning allows you to gain valuable professional experience, make contact with your industry and really get a sense of what it is like to work in your chosen field. Placements can vary from one day a week to a longer block period. Refer to the online course brochure for your course for further details.

Virtual toursDo you want to explore CSU without setting foot on campus? Take your very own personal virtual tour of one of our main campuses and see what the University has to offer you.

Indigenous Student Services

CSU values and acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land and rich history of our campus cities. Indigenous Student Services (ISS) offers additional support to Indigenous students so they can make the most of their university experience.

Distance education students can access support and ask questions by phone or email. If you ever need to come to one of our campuses for a residential school or are just in the area, drop in to one of the ISS centres at CSU’s campuses in Albury-Wodonga, Bathurst, Dubbo, Goulburn, Port Macquarie and Wagga Wagga to access computer and printing facilities, enjoy a cuppa, chat with the friendly ISS staff, or find out more about support services.

Choose your level of study

Single Subject StudyCSU’s Single Subject Study and open entry program is designed for students who want flexible study choices, allowing you to choose one or two subjects without committing to a full degree. It is ideal if you are returning to study, wanting to prepare for a career change or professional development, or are taking the first steps toward your degree.

You will study the same subjects as students studying the full degree and could even get direct credit into a degree on completion. Explore where Single Subject Study could take you by visiting: www.csu.edu.au/single-subject

Higher Degree by Research or Doctorate

A Certificate or Diploma can be a great first qualification or complement any existing qualifications you may hold, equipping you with valuable skills and knowledge that can lead to undergraduate study.

A Bachelor degree is for those commencing study for the first time or looking to explore a new field. If you’re a school leaver, have done some TAFE study or vocational training, or are coming to university after some time in the workforce or with family, then an undergraduate degree could get you started on achieving your career aspirations.

An Honours degree can be integrated with an undergraduate degree or may be a stand-alone course completed after relevant undergraduate study. Honours allows you to undertake a research project and expand your knowledge of an area you are passionate about, giving you a competitive qualification that will set you apart from the crowd.

A Masters degree may be comprised of different combinations of coursework, project work and research. This is a specialised qualification and can lead to career advancement with opportunities for further study of a Doctorate (PhD).

A Doctorate is the highest level university qualification. This is a research qualification where students conduct their own research to solve issues or make new discoveries, documenting their findings as a thesis or dissertation.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY...

“I am a farm girl born and bred; this helped with my case studies and practical application of what I was learning in my course. In my third year I was able to develop an agriculture business plan for my family farm. CSU was really flexible, giving me the option of studying by distance education, so I was able to work at the same time.

“CSU put me in good stead; I had a job the day I walked out of uni for a company specialising in pharmaceuticals. My degree, work experience and life experience have provided a perfect combination for employers. Currently I am working as a Territory Manager of North West NSW where I am able to use my knowledge and experience to help farmers.”

National Life Sciences Hub (NaLSH): The $48.6 million NaLSH on Wagga Wagga Campus includes flexible learning and teaching areas, four research laboratory spaces including quarantine-approved facilities, a phytotron with controlled environment and growth chambers and three glasshouses. CSU is also home to the most sophisticated rhizolysimeter in the southern hemisphere – an underground field laboratory.

Residential schools give students opportunities to come on campus and access facilities including the new National Life Sciences Hub (NaLSH), five state-of-the-art laboratories and modern glasshouse facilities, farms and vineyards, as well as our fully operational commercial winery.


“What attracted me to CSU was the opportunity to further my study via distance education while I worked as a cropping overseer on a farm. CSU has opened up many doors for employment and taught me to work efficiently, but more importantly, given me the ability to think critically. My degree gave me the flexibility to enter into any sector of the agricultural industry. Since graduating, I worked as a grain broker for a couple of years before setting up my own consultancy business. My business offers grain marketing advice to growers, but has the goal of offering a complete farm consultancy package. My university study was

the vital next step I needed to transform from a farmhand to someone who has the ability to transform businesses.”

“The Postgraduate Certificate in Paramedic Service Leadership and Management has been a great course, adding understanding of where the profession has come from, where we currently stand in an international context, and where we are heading (and how to have a positive impact). I’ve really enjoyed the flexibility of the online format, made much easier by forums, online meetings and podcasts.”

Curious about...


“I enrolled in CSU’s GIS and Remote Sensing course because I had taken a short career break from engineering geology and decided that I wanted to take a different direction with my career when I went back to work. I also welcomed the challenge of going back to studying 15 years after I finished my first degree.

“The course provided me with a very good understanding of the theory underlying both GIS and Remote Sensing, experience in implementing that knowledge in practical applications, and the opportunity to explore in detail any topics that were of particular interest to me. Since undertaking the course, I have been successful in gaining employment with state government departments in various mapping and GIS roles, and within private industry processing satellite imagery.”

“I chose to study CSU’s Master of Water Resource Management because I wanted an edge in the water industry. Being able to study the course via distance education also appealed to me as I did not have to give up work to study. This course has an excellent structure for individuals who have an interest in water but may be undecided as to where they want it to take them. The variety of the subjects meant I was never bored and helped give

me focus. The three-day intensives have been good to meet people studying the same thing and in the same situation. I have enjoyed finding out how they apply what they have learned to their workplace.”

“After undertaking study at CSU I was pleasantly surprised at the lengths lecturers went to, to ensure that whatever help or

material students needed to succeed was provided. Staff recognised the demands placed on students external to their university studies, such as work commitments and deadlines. On the few occasions where I needed to attend a university campus for a residential school I found lecturers to be very communicative and helpful in working with students to undertake study and practical experience objectives.

“One of the other most important elements of study with CSU is the environment created for distance education students to engage with other students. I have made friendships with people in other cities, states and even other countries. The ability to share and get help with problems is very useful.”

Medical Science

Medical scientists are seen as an integral part of the total health care team within hospitals, liaising with other health professionals and patients. They also form the key elements of research teams examining the efficacy of new treatments or developing new medicines and health care products. CSU’s degrees prepare you for diverse career opportunities in areas such as pathology, clinical physiology, research or dental implantology.

Medical Science has a significant role in communities where most of us at some point have required the skills, specialist knowledge and expertise of a medical scientist. This is a well-respected field where you can really contribute to enhancing the quality of health for others through diverse careers that address the health needs of society.

Curious about...


“I started at CSU relatively late in my professional career. I studied a Master of Medical Science (Cytology) which I completed several

years ago. This study program was extremely interesting and challenging and the postgraduate qualification has, even in the relatively short period since graduation, given me several substantial pay rises.

“I now can aspire to the most senior positions in my craft and it is all because of this CSU postgraduate Masters degree. Thank you especially to my brilliant Masters supervisor and the other CSU staff involved.”

Robert McGuigan Master of Medical Science graduate

HIGHLIGHT

CSU’s Bachelor of Medical Science is internationally recognised and accredited with the Australian Institute of Medical Scientists as well as a range of other professional bodies, depending on the specialisation studied. The course has a proud history extending over 20 years and offers diverse careers in the health care industry.

Nursing

CSU offers opportunities for career progression and specialisation in midwifery for students who want to be qualified to assist with the very first stages of life. CSU has many years of experience in educating student midwives to the level required for registration as midwives with the Nurses and Midwifery Board of Australia, working in partnership with Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). The distance education delivery of the Graduate Diploma of Midwifery allows rural students to remain in their communities while they achieve a midwifery qualification, while the Master of Midwifery prepares students for leadership roles in the industry.

CSU also offers a Master of Nursing for students who want to progress their career in other ways. Our Master of Nursing has exit points at Graduate Certificate and Graduate Diploma levels and offers specialisations in a variety of areas including emergency, mental health, palliative, chronic and complex care, primary health, leadership and management and clinical education.

Nurses play a pivotal role in people’s lives throughout the lifecycle including birth, injury, illness and death. CSU equips nursing students with the skills, specialist knowledge and expertise to ensure they graduate with confidence and are industry-ready for their future as healthcare professionals. Nursing is a diverse and rewarding field with opportunities to address a range of patient needs such as primary healthcare, Indigenous health and culture, health challenges, health optimisation, clinical nursing practice, social justice, psychosocial sciences and biosciences.

Curious about...


“CSU has shaped my career by allowing me to further my education by studying to become a midwife and make a difference in a new mother’s journey. My most vivid memories of my time at CSU are the student network, there were competitions, social events and support that were a huge help during the first week as a nervous new student. Regional universities offer support and help in a way that wouldn’t be able to happen in the bigger city universities and there is often more time to spend networking and building friendships. The highlight of my career has been the opportunity to follow the journeys of new mothers and their babies and giving them the support and education they need.” Sarah Radburn CSU Midwifery graduate

WOULD YOU LIKE TO TRAVEL THE WORLD AND STILL WORK IN YOUR FIELD?

Many of CSU’s Nursing graduates have applied for overseas registration and now work internationally.


“The compulsory placements we undertake throughout the three years at University really provide us with the knowledge and skills we need to get us through our first year (in the workforce). We were also able to practise our practical skills in our tutorials in a specifically designed nursing lab.”

“I chose to study at CSU after TAFE for one very important reason. Apart from the ease of transition from college to campus through the CU@CSU program’s offer of guaranteed entry and course credit, the University’s well-known reputation for excellence in my chosen field was critical to my decision. CSU’s clear commitment to support and encourage TAFE graduates to aim high and succeed in a flexible study environment confirmed that CSU was right for me. I would say to anyone considering study at CSU after TAFE that their decision to do so will set them on the path to pursue opportunities for productive careers, equipped with the advantages of an outstanding education.”

A CSU degree can have a real impact on your career and salary expectations. When weighing up the cost of study, consider the benefits of having the qualification you need to achieve your personal and professional goals.

Potential tax benefitsTax deductibility can make a big difference to the cost of study if your course is directly related to your current employment. You may be able to claim deductions for course expenses such as textbooks, special equipment, uniforms, travel expenses and depreciation allowances for equipment such as computers. For more information contact the Australian Taxation Office at: www.ato.gov.au or speak with your accountant.

CSU invest in your future

through its cholarship programs

Each year CSU recognises and rewards the potential of hundreds of our students by providing millions of $$ worth of scholarships and grants

Tips on completing your scholarship applicationScholarships create opportunities for students to realise their potential. Give yourself the best chance to be rewarded by taking note of the following tips:

• keep an eye out for scholarships that appeal to you and start looking early - some scholarships close in November the year before you start

• allow yourself plenty of time to put thought into your application and make changes to your draft before submitting your application form. Always work in Word before copying your responses into the application

• pay attention to the criteria and think carefully about whether you meet the requirements. Note whether success is dependent primarily on an academic or financial needs basis and address that in the application

• follow the guidelines. Most scholarships have precisely defined rules for applicants, definite closing dates and requirements for you to provide supporting documentation, so know what you have to do and give yourself the best chance

• if you need supporting letters or documents, chase them up early and have them verified if required. Scan them so they are ready to be uploaded with your application

• ask a parent, teacher or friend to read your application and the criteria. They may be able to give you some ideas, or pick up any spelling or grammar mistakes you may not have noticed

• if you are not sure about something — ask. Contact CSU’s Scholarships Office for assistance. This contact can make all the difference!

How to make yourself a good candidateTo increase your chances of being selected as the recipient of a CSU scholarship there are some simple things you can do to make yourself stand out from the crowd:

• get involved and actively participate in the community, your school, TAFE or university, sporting or charitable organisations. Some scholarships require that successful candidates are involved in society, and not just academically qualified, so engage yourself in groups that interest you.

• educate yourself by keeping up-to-date with current affairs, reading literature or by observing other cultures through travel or intercultural events. This may help you to describe what it is about you that makes a positive contribution to the community.

• practise interpersonal skills, learn how to express yourself and to defend your views, while still allowing for other opinions. Some Foundation or external scholarships involve interviews, and if successful, you may be asked to speak on the benefits of your scholarship to the funding group.

The personal statementOften a scholarship application will require the applicant to submit a personal statement that addresses the criteria. It is important to know what the committee is looking for and who you can ask for help:

• academic qualifications – from any training or courses you may have completed

• social skills and community involvement – school and other organisations you are involved with

• leadership skills – employers, mentors or school principal

• personal characteristics – ask parents, teachers and/or mentors for a reference

• back up what you say – it is important to include real life examples that show your attributes and if financial need or overcoming hardship is relevant, ensure you can demonstrate this.

POSTGRADUATEMost postgraduate students at CSU are enrolled in fee paying degrees, however some postgraduate courses also have Commonwealth supported places.

Commonwealth supported students

The student contribution for Commonwealth supported students falls within one of three bands depending on subject areas. Not all subjects in a course may fall within the one band, so where subjects are chosen from another discipline area in another band, the total cost for your course may be different.

Band 2014 amount per 8 point subject

Band 1 – Behavioural Science, Clinical Psychology, Education, Foreign Languages, Humanities, Nursing, Social Studies, Visual and Performing Arts

AUD$752

Band 2 – Agriculture, Allied Health, Built Environment, Computing, Engineering, other Health, Surveying

AUD$1,076

Band 3 – Accounting, Administration, Commerce, Dentistry, Economics, Law, Medicine, Veterinary Science

*Note: Fees shown are for 2014 and are subject to change in 2015. Many postgraduate subjects are worth 16 points (i.e. twice the above fee per subject).

HECS-HELP is a loan scheme that helps eligible Commonwealth supported students pay their student contribution by deferring all or part of their HECS charges to the Australian Taxation Office. For more information on HECS-HELP loans, visit: www.studyassist.gov.au

Fee paying students

The Australian Government does not contribute towards study costs for fee paying students. Fee paying students pay a tuition fee for each subject in the course. For full-fee paying students, the tuition fee is dependent on the course rather than individual subject disciplines.

“Studying by distance education is challenging but rewarding. I came away from residential schools feeling like the jigsaw puzzle had been pieced together! I made many great friends over my years of study. The people I met along the way made a great impression on me and I will always have good memories of my time at CSU.”
