Shannen

“I enjoyed the flexibility offered by the summer semester subjects and like that it gives students an opportunity to catch up or get ahead. I chose to take Pathophysiology & Pharmacology 1 during the summer semester because I didn’t want to fall behind the rest of my cohort. Science is my weakest subject area and since I did pass, I wound up in a much better position for my second year.

I would recommend that people take a summer subject if they want to get ahead or if they are behind.”

Vanessa

“CSU was my first and only choice for university. I’m in my second year of the Bachelor of Nursing and took Human Bioscience 2 in summer semester 2015/16. The weekly tutorials and supportive lecturer were great, and passing the subject was certainly a highlight for me.

I found the summer semester to have less distractions and I would recommend it to other students.”

Joanne

“The summer semester subjects are a great way to catch up if you find yourself falling behind, I took Human Bioscience in summer 2015/16 after not passing the subject in the previous semester. The content was easier to comprehend and the subject is taught by people in the nursing field.

Becoming a Registered Nurse has always been a dream of mine, and it’s slowly becoming a reality, thanks to Charles Sturt University.”
