CDU is a recognised leader in environmental studies (tropical and desert knowledges), Indigenous education and studies, remote nursing and education, South-East Asian studies and online learning.
CDU was the first institution in Australia to achieve the status of a fully fledged dual-sector university, which means that students can undertake vocational education and training as well as higher education, with qualifications ranging from certificates through to doctorates.
The University is a world leader in delivering education to remote communities – including 150 remote Indigenous communities – and offers online courses to enable people to fit studying into their busy lives.
The university’s six higher education colleges offer a range of disciplines including engineering and information technology, the environment, health and human sciences, nursing and midwifery, psychological and clinical sciences, Indigenous knowledges, business, creative arts and humanities, education and law.
