"Darwin is unique compared to the rest of Australia ... I wouldn’t study anywhere else"
I have fallen in love with the outdoor life, the gorgeous weather, even the wet season. I love to fish, camp and socialise with friends. Darwin has a growing economy and CDU is well placed to service this growing, diverse city.
Maria (Helena) Bravo (Philippines) - Master of Accounting
"I have found it easy to obtain work in Darwin and I am able to work full time during school holidays."
This has enabled me to save money for my school fees and other expenses. I have found my daily expenses as a student are much less than when I was working in Quezon City.
