About us

We are a university of the land and people of our regions. We develop holistic, far-sighted people who help their communities grow and flourish. We build meaningful connections in our regions that extend across Australia and resonate globally.

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.

Charles Sturt aims to be Australia’s leading regional university, inspiring research excellence and driving regional outcomes with global impact.
