With our home and our heart in the Northern Territory, we embrace the inclusive, resilient, and courageous spirit of the Territory. We are a deeply connected university, working in close partnership and collaboration with First Nations people, our communities, industry and government.

We are the only university based in the Northern Territory, which gives our teaching and learning experience a flavour that is unique in Australia’s education landscape. Our connection spans beyond the Northern Territory through our digital and remote delivery, and internationally through our world-leading research.

We are proud to be Australia’s first dual-sector university and the largest training provider in the Northern Territory, building a skilled workforce while also providing pathways into higher education.

With ten campuses and centres across Australia, CDU can deliver unique student experiences and offer training where it’s needed. Our on-country trainers engage with students no matter where they live, often driving thousands of kilometres to deliver training and support in the heart of Australia and its remote communities.

Flexibility and supportive learning experiences are key to engaging with our students. CDU has one of the most diverse student cohorts that includes more than 20% First Nations students. Our success in achieving this diversity can be attributed to providing a wide range of study options, personalised support and bringing mentors and community leaders into the university.

Research outcomes at CDU are strongly aligned with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. Our research is relevant, impactful and attracts research students who are focused on solving tough problems. It’s one reason why CDU has an eminent research reputation in environment and ecology, energy, tropical heath, indigenous issues, sustainable business, and technology.

We are proud to be making a difference in the Northern Territory and beyond, and we’ll continue to innovate and foster world-changing ideas.
