Charles Darwin University is situated in the Northern Territory, which is also the homeland of many Indigenous peoples. For over 30 years, improving the health and wellbeing of Indigenous populations has been the dedicated work of Menzies School of Health Research, one of Australia’s leading medical research institutes. Located on the CDU campus, Menzies is also a global leader in researching tropical illnesses and the effects of the tropics on child health and development.
Our unique postgraduate programs focus on the Asia-Pacific, which is affected by disasters ranging from tsunamis to earthquakes to volcanic activity. As a Higher Degree by Research student, you can choose from a wide range of topics to research, including climate change, environmental migration and human trafficking; disaster policy making and reform in developing countries; politics of crisis and disaster communication; cultural institutionalism and disasters, and more
Whether you have come to university straight from school or after many years out of a classroom you may find some aspects of life as a university student unfamiliar or strange. Whether you grew up in Australia or in another country, you may wonder how to tackle different learning activities or what your lecturers expect from you. All students, regardless of background, go through a period of adjustment, while learning how to learn at university.
Academic integrity is the core set of five values and principles that are the foundation of the University’s mission. Plagiarism is presenting, without any form of acknowledgment, the ideas or words of another writer as if they were your own. The diverse cultural backgrounds of our students bring different understandings of scholarship and academic practice; this may lead them to unwittingly commit plagiarism.
Unlike many schools, universities expect students to be autonomous learners. That means you must take responsibility for much of your learning. One way you do this is by reading outside of class. Some new students feel unsure how best to manage their reading. Therefore, this page aims to help you to use a range of skills and strategies to maximise your reading efficiency, read with purpose, read critically, and manage your reading challenges.
A digital ‘skills passport’ being developed by Charles Darwin University (CDU)’s Northern Institute will support job seekers and school leavers in the Territory to showcase their skills and knowledge and improve their employment prospects.
