Charles Sturt University (CSU)

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.

Who we are, what we believe

We're improving economic and social wellbeing and creating sustainable ecosystems for future generations.

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.
