Welcome to Charles Sturt University

We believe wisdom transforms communities. With tenacity, we help to shape resilient, sustainable regions for the future. Acknowledging the culture and insight of First Nations Australians, our ethos is clearly described by the Wiradjuri phrase, yindyamarra winhanganha, meaning the wisdom of respectfully knowing how to live well in a world worth living in.

Our vision and values

Our mission is to build skills and knowledge in our regions. We offer choice and flexibility to students and work hand-in-hand with our industries and communities in teaching, research and engagement. Growing from our historical roots, we share our knowledge and expertise as a significant regional export industry and we bring strength and learning from this back to our regions.

Through our values, we create a welcoming community experience and learning environment that supports innovative research, advances society and gives back to our regions.

We understand the importance of Australia’s regional communities – because we call them home. For more than a century, we've championed those communities, starting with the Bathurst Experimental Farm in 1895. Now, we thrive in the heart of NSW's most vibrant regional cities – and beyond.

Because we see distance as an opportunity to connect, to share what we've learned from our unique regional experience. And our alumni, researchers and industry partners use that experience to foster knowledge, drive positive change, and fuel growth all over the world.
