Interested in Engineering?

Charles Sturt University (CSU) offers an innovative civil and structural engineering program like no other in Australia or the world.

Secondary school students are able to complete some of these units online at no cost. Just go to https://www.csu.edu.au/engineering/curriculum and choose from the topics available in areas such as: 

• Introductory Engineering
• Water Engineering
• Materials Engineering

The engineering program is offered at the Bathurst campus and students complete four years of paid work placement and graduate with a Bachelor and Master level qualification.

Psychology

Would you like to become a psychologist? 

You will need to start your education by studying a Bachelor degree with an Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC) approved major in psychology. Not all psychology majors are approved by APAC, so you will need to contact the institution you would like to study at to double check. 

Deakin University has developed an excellent website showcasing different careers in Psychology.
