Let's Create a World Worth Living In Let’s create a world worth living in Undergraduate Guide 2022 The change the world needs sure won’t come from just talking about it. At Charles Sturt University, we roll up our sleeves and turn ideas into action. Because when we all work together… We build technology that keeps lonely Aussies company. We start businesses that give young winemakers a chance to grow. We cut down the radiation in radiography. We connect children to their culture. And we save our native animals from the brink of extinction. At Charles Sturt University, you get to work from day one. Because it’s not what we say that makes a difference. It’s what we do.

It's at the heart of everything we stand for here at Charles Sturt University, and it's the reason we strive to create a world worth living in. To us, a world worth living in is a place that protects and values society’s core needs. The security of our land and food. The health and education of our people. The development of technology to help us prosper. And clear and honest communication with ourselves – and each other. Charles Sturt University was founded on a quest to meet these fundamental needs. Since day one, we've empowered people to make the world a better place. Because we believe in making a difference. When we connect people to their purpose, we make communities better. And when we make communities better, we create a world worth living in. 4 Charles Sturt University What does it mean to create a world worth living in?

What does creating a world worth living in mean to you? Undergraduate Guide 2022 5 Tackling the big issues Hey there. You look like someone who cares. Someone who really, truly cares. We can tell. You’ve got plenty of time for your loved ones. You give back to your local community. And you definitely give a damn about our neighbours around the globe. You’re exactly the type of person we’re looking for. And because you care so much about doing good in the world – and making a real difference in the lives of others – we’re excited to tell you: WELCOME! You’ve come to the right place. At Charles Sturt University, we don’t just talk a big game. We back it up with action. We make it happen. Just like you, we roll up our sleeves and get things done. Because like you, we care. We care about the environment. We care about equality. It’s why we’ve signed up to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals – just to make it official. And when we talk about sustainability, we don’t just mean protecting the wilderness. It’s about ending poverty. It’s about access to quality education. It’s about peace and justice for all. It’s about climate action. It’s about gender equality. It’s about creating a world worth living in. 6 Charles Sturt University We know that the only way to create a world worth living in is to lead by example. So when you study with Charles Sturt University, you’ll make a difference too. Together, we can make the world a better place. Sustainability is a buzzword for some organisations, but for us it’s a priority. We’re proud to be Australia’s very first carbon neutral university. Plus, we’ve integrated sustainability issues into all our undergraduate courses, so you’ll have the chance to make a real and lasting difference as well – whichever degree you choose. If you believe that everyone should have the same opportunities regardless of gender, then you'll be happy to know we're in the top 20 universities worldwide for gender equality*. We’re an Employer of Choice for Gender Equality two years running, and we received the Athena SWAN Bronze Institution Award for our contribution to women in STEMM. Climate change is one of the biggest issues facing our planet. We need to act now. We're the #4 university in Australia – and in the top 10 per cent of universities worldwide – for climate action,* so we're recognised for the difference we’re making. When you visit us, you’ll see that we’ve got nearly 16,000 solar panels installed across our campuses (enough to power more than 2000 homes). It’s just one of the ways we’re reducing the impact we have on our environment. Our research makes a difference – and our academics contribute solutions to real-world problems. From keeping the water of the Murray-Darling River flowing and helping native animals recover from the bushfires, to fighting cyber crime and reducing medical radiation exposure – our research is having a positive impact on the world around us. The best bit? We’re only just getting started. And you can be a part of it. *Times Higher Education Impact Rankings 2021 Undergraduate Guide 2022 7 Why choose Charles Sturt?

  • Information for Applicants
    Information for applicants Position: Professor of Agriculture and Head of School (Agricultural and Wine Sciences) Message From The Vice-Chancellor and President Thank you for your interest in the role of Professor of Agriculture and Head of School (Agriculture and Wine Sciences) at Charles Sturt University. We are a highly distinctive institution in both Australian and global settings. At 30, Charles Sturt University is a relatively young institution with roots in regional Australia that has rapidly grown to service students and communities across Australia and the world. Charles Sturt Univerity is different because it is focused on its regional communities and it is genuinely distributed – there is no head office. Although it is a large institution in Australian terms, each campus retains a strong sense of community. We are a university with gumption and soul. In my view, this sense of personality and human connection is a critical strategic advantage in a world that is increasingly globalised and homogeneous. The Australian higher education sector has become intensely competitive. The Professor of Agriculture and Head of School (Agriculture and Wine Sciences) has a clear focus on quality learning, teaching and research, alongside ensuring that our approach is innovative and delivers to the needs of the agricultural sector. This role will not only embrace new technology but advocate its use to ensure we are developing sector- leading online, on-campus, undergraduate and postgraduate courses that exceed the expectations of current and future students. Our campuses are spread across New South Wales – there is a lot of travel and the organisational geography complicates the management challenge.
