About us

The Division of Student Experience provides strategic leadership and delivery of innovative non-academic services across the student lifecycle, easing administrative burden and creating engaging and motivating touchpoints for students and stakeholders. The Division works across the University to bring together student experience functions for a seamless and engaging student journey from initial enquiry to becoming a proud alum. Student Experience is the first point of contact for students, advocating for the student voice and ensuring our students are at the centre of our thinking and processes. 

The Division works closely with the Chief Operating Officer, Deputy Vice Chancellor (Academic) and leaders of divisions, faculties and schools to map, understand and improve the end-to-end student lifecycle and is critical to ensuring that Charles Sturt delivers on its commitment to be Australia’s leading regional university.

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.

Charles Sturt University is an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity and inclusion.
