About us
The Faculty of Arts and Education is one of three Faculties within the University. Six Schools and Centres offer a diversity of courses in education, communication, social work and human services, library and information studies, theology, humanities, Indigenous Australian studies and Islamic studies.
With over 10,000 students, the Faculty is an innovator in online and blended learning modes. Over 200 academic staff deliver distinctive courses, and are supported by a skilled team of professional staff. On campus courses are delivered at the University’s Wagga Wagga, Albury-Wodonga, Bathurst, Dubbo, and Port Macquarie campuses, and at other locations including Sydney and Canberra.
Academic staff within the Faculty undertake high quality, impactful research that engages with governments and professional organisations, nationally, internationally and in regional communities, ensuring excellent supervision for Higher Degree Research students.
The School of Information and Communication Studies has over 45 years of experience in library and information studies education, and with our equally well-established communication courses supported by our on-campus advertising agency, we provide a solid learning foundation for our students, as well as engage in cutting-edge, industry-oriented scholarship and research.
Library and Information Science (LIS) research in the School was rated ‘above world standard’ in the most recent national assessment exercise (Excellence in Research for Australia) conducted by the Australian Research Council. Strong industry links and affiliations ensure ongoing relevance in course design, impactful research, state of the art facilities, national and international recognition of staff and students and high rates of graduate employment outcomes.
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.
