Charles Darwin University is a unique institution.
With our home and our heart in the Northern Territory, we embrace the inclusive, resilient, and courageous spirit of the NT in our campuses and delivery sites that space a diverse footprint from the capital cities and Darwin, Brisbane and Sydney: to the regional hubs of Alice Springs, Palmerston and Katherine; our remote locations in Jabiru, Tennant Creek and Yulara; and on Country – in community, with community.
Our multi-campus, dual-sector status, virtual and online expertise, course profile, research activities, delivery methods, and operation as are a consequence of our commitment to the regions in which we operate. The Northern Territory spans approximately one sixth of Australia’s landmass and yet is home to just one percent of the population, of whom 30% are First Nations Peoples.
Due to our location, we are in an enviable position to contribute to the future opportunity of Northern Australia, and our neighbours in the Asia Pacific, through our innovative and impactful training, education, and research.
We now have in place our new Strategic Plan which will guide the development of our university over the next five years. It gives us a very clear road map to build a bigger, better and stronger university, valuing and empowering our people to make a difference.
We believe in the people of the Northern Territory. As the only university for, and of the Territory we are committed to ensuring that we put the needs of the Northern Territory first in our training, education, and research. By striving to be world leaders in education and research areas that matter to the Northern Territory, we will ensure that our communities have access to the best education and research capabilities. By doing so, our regions can continue to develop, grow, and prosper.
We are a deeply connected university, working in partnership and collaboration with First Nations peoples, our communities and industries, government, and alumni to address the needs of the Northern Territory and regional, rural, and remote people nationally and globally.
