Diversity and opportunity are the hallmarks of the Charles Darwin University (CDU). Our unique educational environment ranges from mangrove-fringed coastlines and seasonally-wet tropics, to savannas and deserts. Charles Darwin University strongly reflects the multicultural nature of the Northern Territory in both its student population and the range of courses it offers that focus on the region’s unique cultural, economic, environmental and educational needs.

As a ‘Dual Sector’ institution, CDU offers both higher education and vocational education and training courses.

Charles Darwin University’s research strengths lie with: ‘Natural and Cultural Resource Management’, ‘Human Health and Well-being’, ‘Teaching, Learning and Living’ and ‘Community, Development and Identity’. The university has formed many partnerships with a number of research organisations, government departments and private industry to advance these focus areas.
