CSU pathway program

Where this course may lead

The CSU Pathway Program is a partnership between Charles Sturt University (CSU) and Wodonga Institute of TAFE to provide you with guaranteed entry into a CSU degree. The program offers a pathway to university for those students who would like to study at CSU but do not meet the entry criteria or require further preparation.

What you learn

The program provides supported learning for recent school leavers.

The University Certificate in General Studies is a combination of eight subjects studied over two 17-week sessions. Four subjects are drawn from TAFE's Certificate IV in Further Education and four from CSU’s bachelor level subjects.
