Why choose Charles Darwin University?

Charles Darwin University (CDU) is an Australian university with a difference. Located in the Northern Territory of Australia, a unique region spanning the wet tropics in the north and arid desert in the south.

The University offers unique and exciting study opportunities in one of the world’s most cultural and biologically diverse regions. This is a place for students who love freedom, welcome choice, have a sense of adventure and appreciate one of the oldest landscapes and cultures on earth. Our students come from all parts of Australia and from more than 60 countries. Diversity and opportunity are the hallmarks of CDU, Australia’s most youthful university.

What is unique about CDU?

Our low staff to student ratio provides students with a personalised teaching and learning environment.

High graduate employment opportunities: The Northern Territory is an expanding economy with a high demand for skilled and qualified workers in business, engineering, IT, tourism and hospitality, health, education, human resource management, communication and the service sector.

Excellent part time work prospects while studying due to strong local economy and acute labour shortages. 

Enhanced migration prospects (15 bonus migration points*)

*The Northern Territory Government offers 10 migration bonus points to eligible CDU graduates. An additional 5 migration bonus points are awarded because CDU is a regional university.
