Charles Sturt University, Australia

Australia

Charles Sturt University's history of engagement in professional education and state of the art, relevant research spans more than 100 years with the establishment in 1895 of the Bathurst Experimental Farm. The first 15 years of the university's history as a University was a period of remarkable achievement, bringing together two distinct and successful institutions, distributed over a vast geographic area. Over the last five years, we have focused on consolidating that achievement and have realised our ambition of being a national University, located in Inland Australia, but serving the broader professional needs of our national economy at every level.
