    How to Apply

    Step 1: Choose your degree

    Choose from a wide range of courses at Charles Sturt University. Wherever you want to take your career – in IT, nursing, education, healthcare, science or any other industry – we’ve got the right course for you.

    Step 2: Understand your entry requirements

    International students must meet minimum academic and English language requirements to be eligible to study with us.

    Step 3: Before you apply

    You've found the course you want to study and now it's time to get organised for your Australian adventure. Before you apply, it's a good idea to get familiar with your new destination and all the things you will need to do to make your transition smooth. Our live and work and before you arrive pages are great places to start to help you with that checklist.

    Step 4: Check if you are eligible for credit

    Charles Sturt University highly values and recognises a range of overseas qualifications, and has developed advanced standing arrangements with institutions in various countries.

    Step 5: Prepare supporting documentation

    Do you need to include official documentation with your application? If so, it may need verification as a true and accurate copy. Check below to see if your documents need to be verified.

    Verify your documents

    If you are an international applicant, you can submit scanned verified copies or scanned original copies of all your official documentation, except for the courses listed below.

    The following information explains if your documents do need to be verified. This is important, as documents not correctly verified as a "true and accurate" copy will result in delays in the processing of your application and its consideration for admission. Please don't send originals as we don't return documents.

    Who can verify copies for you?

    For international documents/qualifications:

    • your employed agent submitting your application and documents on your behalf
    • Australian Embassy official
    • High Commission or Trade Mission official
    • Public Notary
    • Australian Justice of the Peace with a registration number.

    How should the authorised officer verify each document?

    On each page you are submitting, they must write:

    'This is a true copy of the original document sighted by me.'

    Then sign and print the following details:

    • name
    • address
    • business hours telephone number
    • profession, occupation or organisation
    • the current date.

    They must include the official stamp or seal of the verifier's organisation on the copy if the organisation has such a stamp.

    In addition to the above, a Justice of the Peace must also print their registration number and the state in which they are registered as a Justice of the Peace.

    Documents not verified or not verified correctly

    Charles Sturt University is not permitted to process:

    • documents that have been verified by an immediate relative or a person residing at the same address as an applicant
    • photocopied documents that have not been verified
    • documents that have not been correctly verified
    • documents verified by a Justice of the Peace without a registration number.

    •  

    Step 6: Understand your responsibilities and expectations as an international student

    The Australian Government requires international student visa holders to ensure that they meet the obligations and conditions of their visa type. It is your responsibility to ensure that they comply with these obligations and conditions at all times. Your enrolment at Charles Sturt University may be cancelled for failing to meet the University's policies and procedures and the University is required by Australian Law to report any breaches of visa conditions, which may include:

    • Not paying your fees.
    • Not maintaining satisfactory course progress.
    • Failing to maintain a full-time load without Charles Sturt University's permission.
    • Failure to enrol in a term of study.
    • Academic or general misconduct.

    You should also understand all the terms and conditions of accepting an offer to study with us.

    Step 7: Start your application

    How to apply depends on how you want to study with us.
