Studying in Northern Territory

Darwin is the capital city of the Northern Territory of Australia, a city rebuilt following the devastation of cyclone Tracy in 1975. Today, Darwin is a cosmopolitan and tropical centre for business and education in the north. Geographically close to South-East Asia, visitors will be astounded by the intoxicating mix of Indigenous, local and Asian cultures, especially when it comes to art, food and festivals. Expect open streets and parks, pedestrian mall, variety of restaurants, pubs and clubs, the nightlife strip of Mitchell Street, and the tourist venues of the Wharf Precinct.

International students have the option of being able to study at campuses in Darwin, Palmerston, Alice Springs and Katherine, the main and largest campus being in Darwin. Here you will find a campus as youthful and multicultural as the city its in.

Charles Darwin University (CDU) is the major tertiary public education institution in the Northern Territory. The University main campus is located in Darwin and offers unique and exciting study opportunities in a region which is full of contrasts: arid deserts toward the south, Central Australia, and wet tropics in the north, along with the blend of local and Asian influences.

CDU takes pride in high teaching standards, nationally recognised and accredited Bachelor, Master and PhD degrees, VET Diploma and Certificate courses. Students enjoy the personalised teaching values which comes with small intimate class sizes.
Intensive English language ELICOS courses are also available in the NT as a means of meeting requirements for further tertiary studies.

On campus accommodation is a great option for those seeking convenience, security and keen on experiencing true college life with local and other international students from more than 50 countries.

Students considering working in Australia should be encouraged by NT’s claim to higher than average graduate employment rate in Australia; a reflection of the region’s healthy local economy and common labour shortages, which means supplementing funds as a student with a part-time job is a feasible and rewarding possibility. This could take students and visitors anywhere from outback stations to horticultural farms to hospitality and more.

Possessing a one of a kind tropical and culturally dynamic setting, Darwin and the Northern Territory is a place to consider for study abroad students seeking adventure, quality education, and experiences that you will remember in years to come.
