<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 />
