<p>At the University of New England, we know it takes more than being online to be a great online university. It takes&nbsp;time and a lifetime's experience. We pioneered distance education for working adults in 1954. And we've been&nbsp;perfecting it ever since. Our mission is to help ordinary people 'future-proof' themselves in response to the rapidly&nbsp;changing world in which we live.</p>

<p>As Australia's oldest regional university, and with almost all of our courses available for study online, UNE offers the&nbsp;kind of flexibility and support that can only come from a university that has long understood the challenges faced by&nbsp;adults studying from home.</p>

<p>We have more than 18,000 online students studying over 170 online courses. We provide 24/7 tutor support and even&nbsp;our exams are online. It's no wonder Online Study Australia ranks UNE as Australia's best online university.</p>

<p>We also have three teaching periods (trimesters), commencing in March, June and October, meaning students can&nbsp;decide when and how much they study each year.</p>

<p>Perhaps this is why our students and others continue to rate us so highly for student satisfaction and teaching quality.</p>

<p>Here's proof we're doing it right:</p>

<ul>
	<li>UNE is the only Australian public university awarded the maximum 5 stars for Overall Experience for 14 consecutive&nbsp;years (2007-2020).</li>
	<li>We are ranked Australia's top online university by Online Study Australia.</li>
	<li>The 2019 QILT Student Experience Survey ranked UNE 6th out of 41 Australian universities.</li>

<p>Charles Darwin University is somewhat unique. No other single Australian university serves such a large area of the continent, in such a remote location and with such a small population to sustain it. While the Northern Territory covers around 16 per cent of Australia, in 2015 it was home to just over 1 per cent of the population, 30 per cent of whom were Indigenous compared with around 3 per cent of the general Australian population. The only university based in the Northern Territory, CDU is a dual sector university. It is the most northerly Australian university, closer in many respects to the vast populations of Asia than to the southern Australian states.</p>

<h4>Applying for postgraduate study</h4>

<p>Not everybody goes straight from school into higher education. In fact, many adult learners would argue that life experience makes the tertiary experience all the more rewarding. Charles Darwin University has a number of adult learners entering the University through many different pathways. If you don't meet the minimum entry requirements and would like to discuss your options, feel free to contact Student Services or call into an Student Central, at our Casuarina or Alice Springs campuses.<br />
