About us

We are a university of the land and people of our regions. True to the character of regional Australia we have gumption, we have soul and we collaborate with others. We develop holistic, far-sighted people who help their communities grow and flourish.

The Wiradjuri phrase yindyamarra winhanganha means the wisdom of respectfully knowing how to live well in a world worth living in. This phrase represents who we are at Charles Sturt University – our ethos. It comes from traditional Indigenous Australian knowledge, but it also speaks to the mission of universities – to develop and spread wisdom to make the world a better place.

Harnessing technology, we thrive as a distributed yet connected community, welcoming and engaging with people across Australia and the world.

The Division of Customer Experience is responsible for finding, engaging and admitting future students to Charles Sturt University through brand awareness and marketing campaigns, student recruitment activities and events, and admission and conversion processes. Our teams work closely with the Office of Planning and Analytics, Division of Student Success, Office of Engagement and Enterprise, and Division of Student Experience to create a seamless, end-to-end customer journey.
