Flexible study pathways
Charles Darwin University offers studies in higher education (HE) and vocational education and training (VET), which makes us unique in terms of the pathways offered.
The university's approach to education allows students to progress their studies as their needs develop. As well as being an excellent provider of individual courses, the university offers students well-mapped flexible pathways between courses and areas of interest.
For example, you can start your studies at certificate or undergraduate degree level and graduate with a doctorate. You can, of course, exit your studies at any number of points in between.
Our standards are high—as they should be in a world-class university—but we also believe in removing barriers between students and their desire to gain qualifications. If you have a will and are committed, the university will work to find a way to make your chosen study path possible.
Charles Darwin University achieves this by having a fully integrated campus that spans all educational activities. We have a higher percentage of students progressing from VET to higher education than any other Australian educational or training facility.
