Good Universities Guide
This is the sixth consecutive year that Charles Sturt has topped the Good Universities Guide’s undergraduate full-time employment ranking.
Data published in the latest edition reveals that 85 per cent of Charles Sturt undergraduate students are in full-time employment within four months of graduating, with a median graduate salary of $64,100 in their first year of work.
Both figures are the best among Australia’s 39 universities.
Charles Sturt – Number 1 Preference
We’d like to assure your students they’re making a great decision when preferencing Charles Sturt number one on their UAC application.
If your students haven’t already, they can adjust their preferences to ensure they have the best possible chance at securing a place at Charles Sturt.
We’ve collated some FAQ’s, some helpful information and some guidance for your Year 12 students below to help them make the best decision.

Your students may also be eligible for a guaranteed place. To be eligible, students must complete their application by 31 December 2022.

Portfolio Entry Looks Beyond ATAR
Here at UNSW, we understand that the ATAR is only one measure of a student’s potential to succeed at university. That’s why we offer UNSW Portfolio Entry, which gives students the opportunity to demonstrate their passion and talent, alongside their ATAR.
Who can apply?
All domestic applicants who are applying for an eligible degree and expecting an ATAR within 10 points of the lowest selection rank for their degree (unless stated otherwise).
Which degrees are eligible under Portfolio Entry?
In 2023 we’ve increased the number of degrees that are eligible for Portfolio Entry. The eligible degrees fall under four schemes:
- Arts, Design & Architecture Portfolio Entry
2. Bachelor of Information Systems Admissions Scheme
3. Faculty of Engineering Admissions Scheme
4. Medicine & Health Portfolio Entry
To see a full list of eligible degrees, follow the link below.
What needs to be submitted in a portfolio?
This will depend on the degree that your students are interested in. Students may be asked to include a creative portfolio, cover letter, personal statement, interview, school report or a short video.
