WHERE: DARWIN, NT, AUSTRALIA

Formed through a merger between the Northern Territory University and Alice Spring-based Centralian College, Charles Darwin University offers a fresh approach to training, education research and knowledge application.

Charles Darwin offers studies in higher education and Vocational Education and Training (VET), which makes it unique in terms of the pathways it offers.

Our students are drawn from the local area, from across Australia and overseas, and consist of Indigenous and international students, school leavers and mature age people returning to study.

On these pages you can find information about the University as well as get an impression of what life is like up here in the Northern Territory of Australia.

With around 19,000 students Charles Darwin University is the Northern Territory's major tertiairy institution.

Campuses and education centres are located all across the Northern Territory; in Palmerston, Tennant Creek, Yulara, Jabiru, Katherine, Nhulunbuy (Gove), Alice Springs and the University's main campus in Casuarina, Darwin.

The University offers a wide range of courses, from VET through to undergraduate and postgraduate, and is fast gaining an (inter)national reputation for excellence in both teaching and research.
Research is a key component of Charles Darwin's strategic vision – approximately 25% of all R&D carried out in the Territory is conducted by the University.

Charles Darwin courses are taught in Malaysia, Hong Kong, India, Papua New Guinea and Brunei, and exchange agreements are in place with a number of US institutions.
