About Charles Darwin University
Charles Darwin University (CDU) is the premier public dual-sector university of Australia's Northern Territory, offering both world-class higher education degrees and nationally accredited vocational education and training (TAFE/VET). Formed through the merger of Northern Territory University and Centralian College, CDU is named after the legendary naturalist Charles Darwin and is a founding member of the Innovative Research Universities (IRU) network. Enrolling more than 21,000 students across flagship campuses in Darwin (Casuarina and the new Danala Waterfront precinct), Alice Springs in Central Australia, Palmerston, Katherine, and a major international campus in Sydney, CDU is internationally renowned for its deep expertise in First Nations education and knowledge systems, tropical and desert medicine, environmental science, renewable energy, and cybersecurity.
