What is Study Link?

Study Link is a free online way to prepare yourself to learn at university. Study Link subjects are short, self-paced units of learning in Maths, Sciences, Digital Skills and Academic Literacies.

• Study Link subjects are flexible: learn online in your own time, with the option to attend meetings or book appointments with experienced subject convenors.
• Most Study Link subjects take approximately 16 – 20 hours to complete, with a six-week window to finish the work.
• Assessments are online and are spaced throughout the subject so you can check your progress.
• Students are graded as satisfactory or unsatisfactory on completion with grades released at the end of the study session.
• There are six enrolment periods each year, so you can start when it suits you.
• Subjects are progressive, so you can find the right learning level for you.
• Study Link is free for anyone eligible to enrol as a domestic student. You don't have to be already enrolled as a Charles Sturt student to access Study Link.
