Renewed partnerships with Hong Kong institutions strengthened by University delegation visit

A Charles Sturt University delegation has visited partner institutions in Hong Kong to cement the recent renewal of its course delivery and academic collaboration agreements.

The University has a long history of transnational education in Hong Kong dating back more than 30 years, and the face-to-face meetings with the University’s educational delivery partners were the first since COVID-19 forced international border closures.

Charles Sturt has been in partnership with the University of Hong Kong HKU SPACE following commencement of the relationship in 1989 for collaboration in library science. The University recently renewed its partnership in the form of International Academic Collaboration and Course Support Agreement (2022 to 2026).

The University has been in partnership with Ming Hua Theological College (MHTC) in Hong Kong since 2017 delivering the Bachelor of Theology and Master of Theology at the MHTC campus, and recently renewed the partnership in the form of a Course Delivery and Services Agreement (2022 to 2025).

Renée Leon said these partnerships align with the University’s strategy to build social and economic value through international engagement.

“Renewing Charles Sturt University’s long-standing agreements with these educational institutions will ensure students in Hong Kong can continue to access our courses and qualifications.”

Graduate Survey Outcomes

Charles Sturt University’s peerless record for graduate employment has been confirmed with the Graduate Outcome Survey (GOS) revealing the University’s graduates are in full-time employment at a higher rate than any other Australian university. The results of the survey show 90.7 per cent of Charles Sturt undergraduates are in full-time employment approximately 4-6 months after completing their studies - more than 10 per cent above the national average.

2023 Good Universities Guide ranked Charles Sturt number one in Australia for undergraduate full-time employment for the sixth consecutive year.

World Athletics Cross Country Championships Bathurst

It was an amazing experience and showcase of our facilities at the Bathurst campus in February as we hosted the World Athletics Cross Country Championships. Our Bathurst campus residences were the Athlete’s Village, where we hosted approximately 600 athletes and officials with our university teams providing world class hospitality. This event promoted Charles Sturt and regional NSW to both a national and international audience, as well as highlighted the benefits that Charles Sturt brings to the community. Students and some staff participated as volunteers to obtain first-hand event experience and a Charles Sturt alumni and Olympian, Ellie Pashley, competed as a member of the Australian team.

Charles Sturt support inclusivity in regional NSW, being a major sponsor of the Wagga Wagga Mardi Gras.

Our University goal is to create a world worth living in and one way we do this is by engaging in initiatives that create a diverse and inclusive community. We have a responsibility to create inclusive systems within the University and our campus footprints and Charles Sturt’s sponsorship of the Wagga Wagga Mardi Gras creates conversations around identity, inclusivity and belonging and acknowledges that the University welcomes people regardless of background, sexuality or beliefs.

It was great to have staff, students, alumni and community members participate in the parade by joining the Charles Sturt float. This event grows our connections with the community and shows our commitment to creating a safe and inclusive society that embraces diversity, inclusion and belonging for all and highlights how our University supports and welcomes members of the LGBTIQA+ communities.
