The university hosted 18 students from Dubbo College Delroy Campus and 14 from Dubbo College South Campus, providing them with a hands on opportunity to explore some of the post-school study options on offer.
The students were able to tour the university, speak with current CSU students and participate in an array of interactive workshops in pharmacy, allied health and agricultural science.
Dubbo College South Campus student Sophie Wheatley said the event is something she would definitely recommend for other students to take part in.
"The event's been a fun day with heaps of cool activities," Miss Wheatley said.

Dubbo College Delroy Campus careers advisor Renae Justice said the reason her school runs careers excursions to universities is to expose students to as many career options as possible.
"We want students to have options and to explore career pathways and expose them to as many options as we can so they can have informed choices," she said.
Besides career knowledge, they can apply what they have learnt at school to the real world and what they might be doing in the future.
The Future Moves program hosts the event annual to inspire school students and young people from regional and rural areas to attend university.
