About

Study in the tropics at Charles Darwin University, a rising star in Australia’s new generation of tertiary institutions. CDU’s main Darwin campus is located in the suburb of Casuarina. There’s also a second campus in Palmerston, a community near Darwin Harbour.

From UniLodge Darwin: 25-minute walk, 7-minute bike ride, 25-minute bus ride

Local Attractions

A mix of modern city and untouched tropical landscapes, Darwin is the capital of the Northern Territory. It sits perched on the edge of Australia’s northern coastline, in a region known as the Top End.

Despite its country-town character, Darwin has become a thriving hub of tourism and diverse cultures. It’s geographical closeness to South East Asia can be seen in the city’s multicultural dining scene, which is filled with familiar snacks for international students.

Darwin is surrounded by classically Australian landscapes, with the famous national parks of Kakadu and Litchfield only a few hours' drive away. As the least populated state in Australia, this one-of-a-kind city offers a unique alternative from the more crowded east coast.

Air-conditioning offers a cool escape from Darwin’s famously tropical temperatures so you can study in comfort, and outdoor areas provide plenty of space for social gatherings.
