The Northern Territory’s only local university, CDU was officially founded in 2003, though in reality it was the culmination of a long effort by the NT government that stretched back to the establishment of Darwin Community College in 1974. The uni has since proved an unbridled success, now boasting over 20,000 students spread across six distinct colleges, which cover everything from Business and Law to Nursing & Midwifery. CDU has eight satellite campuses across Australia, and has a particularly cosy relationship with Flinders University, the only other institution with a presence in the NT.
