Friday 7 December 2007 is the final date to submit applications for guaranteed consideration in the Main Round.

Thu 1 February 2008 is the final closing date for applications (processing charge + $120 late fee). WHAT IF YOU DON"T GET THE RESULTS THAT YOU ARE HOPING FOR? Don't settle for your second or third choices without making an effort to get to where you really want to go! If you didn't get into your first choice course, then talk to the institution and find out if there is another way. Talk to the institutions advisers, but also to the lecturers and to future prospective employers to find out what you can do. There are often other ways in to your first choice. It may take an extra year or two to get there, but if you are going to be working for 45 years an extra year or two isn't much!

It’s a reality - in fact, it is becoming quite regular, according to Sub-Dean, Computing at Charles Sturt University (CSU), Dr John Atkinson. The CSU academic has backed a report commissioned this year by the Australian Council of Deans of Science which found the number of enrolments in information technology (IT) fell by almost one-fifth between 2002 and 2005. The study, The IT Education Bubble: An analysis of university student statistics 2002-2005, also found that international students make up half of enrolments in IT courses at Australian universities. Dr Atkinson is sounding a warning about the consequences of what he describes as a “misconception by domestic students that there are no jobs at the end of a university computing qualification”. “The situation is and will be quite dire,” said Dr Atkison. “Employers will struggle to find suitably qualified students to fulfill computing positions in their organisations. Every week we receive requests from employers to provide names of our students to commence employment. These are students who are yet to complete their academic qualifications with us.” The enrolment downturn has forced some universities to shed academic staff. However CSU is committed to continuing high quality computer education. Dean of CSU’s Faculty of Business, Professor John Hicks says, “CSU has a long and proud history in educating computing professionals and this will continue into the future as the demand for computing graduates continues to grow in the coming years.” CSU offers on campus computer education in Albury-Wodonga, Bathurst and Wagga Wagga as well as through distance education and offshore through quality CSU course providers. More information about studying information technology at CSU can be found through the Faculty of Business website here. | From 17 December 2007 | Term 4, Week 9, 10 - 16 December 2007 | Term 4, Week 8, 3 - 9 December 2007 | Term 4, Week 7, 26 November - 2 December 2007 | Term 4, Week 6, 19-25 November 2007 | Term 4, Week 5, 12-18 November 2007 | Term 4, Week 4, 5-11 November 2007 | Term 4, Week 3, 29 October - 4 November 2007 | Term 4, Week 2, 22-28 October 2007 | Term 4, Week 1, 15 - 21 October 2007 | 1 - 14 October 2007 | Term 3 2007 | August 7th - 12th 2007 | July 27th - August 6th 2007 | July 23rd - 26th 2007 | July 15th - 22nd 2007 | June 29th - July 14th 2007 | Semester 1, 2007 | | What's New 2008 | What's New 2007 | | Return Home | Main Home | What's New | Events Calendar | Post School | Course Search | Explore Careers | Careers Advice | Careers Advisers | Links | Contact Us | |
