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 is set in tropical bush land within walking distance of Palmerston city centre. Its man-made lake is a lure for bird life and contributes to the relaxed atmosphere of the university grounds.

Palmerston campus has modern facilities that enhance the learning environment for students and provide a pleasant environment for visitors who use the facilities available.  A state-of-the-art library, with an after-hours learning precinct for students to use, accessible from 7am to12am daily, is situated on campus.

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, as well as experts in conservation and land management, retail, beauty therapy, hairdressing and tourism and hospitality.

The campus currently houses the VET areas of Tourism; Hospitality & Recreation;Conservation and Land Management; Sales and Personal Services; Commercial, Cookery and Bakery; and courses from Business; Information Technology; and Library Studies.   

Palmerston hosts several training facilities that are open to the public including the Karawa training restaurant for tourism and hospitality students, where you can enjoy a three-course meal; the Hairdressing Salon; and the Beauty Salon.  There is a virtual enterprise Top End Travel, where students learn tourism and business operations.

2010 Palmerston Campus Orientation will be held on the 2nd of February 2010 from 9-11am at the Lecture Theatre in building A, Palmerston Campus.
