About the campus

Charles Darwin University’s Palmerston campus is a friendly, warm and welcoming place for students, staff and visitors. The campus is people-oriented and seeks to engage further with the dynamic and growing community of Palmerston and surrounding regional area to help contribute to its growth and development for future generations.

Palmerston campus has modern facilities which enhances the learning environment for students and is a pleasant environment for visitors who wish to use the services provided.

The campus is home to a number of VET business units, and its highly acclaimed teaching team consists of executive chefs, award winning bakers, environmental scientists and experts in conservation and land management, retail, beauty therapy, hairdressing and tourism and hospitality.

Palmerston campus is set in tropical bushland within walking distance of Palmerston city centre. The campus's man-made lake is a lure for bird life, contributing to the relaxed atmosphere of the university grounds.

The campus currently houses the VET areas of Tourism/Hospitality and Conservation/Land Management. Campus features include a state of the art library (Palmerston campus's newest structure), and Karawa training restaurant for tourism and hospitality students, where you can enjoy a three-course meal.
