Charles Darwin Unviersity Review

My son is a student from Sri Lanka who is currently studying Medicine in China ( Just Started). Can he join your esteemed institution to study Medicine

My friend study in this University very nice and awesome place to study

Great campus. A bit underpopulated right now but can firmly recommend.

Worst university ever !!! The staff are rude and not professional at all . Staff who are working at the international office are not even able to speak decent English
One of the worst university in the world , no standards , no respect
Just crazy place to study at

Worst experience ever. Staff is rude and not professional.

Great campus near the ocean. Make sure you check out the art gallery

The lecturers from the social work & community discipline are generally good. However, some lecturers from the management & psychology discipline, well... no comment. It's better to study psychology or management in other universities rather than CDU. Trust me or just ask other students. ;)

Great attending there. Good food good drinks good facilities

Not bad for a person that is concidering studying, quiet and spacious.

Excellent provider of online education. It has been such a great experience from start to finish and has made studying a degree while working as easy as possible.

Excellent HE provider, student centred,multicultured,and friendly!

The overall experience was okay. I have no complaints from the uni campus and/or the facilities. My main complaint is directed to the lecturers that treat their students like children. They are very tight on the budget even though international students pay a fortune to be there. On service nights, coca cola is limited to one jug, same with lemonade and lift, no matter how big the group is on the night?????? Nobody ever drinks any of the lift so why bother to top it up each time why not simply replace it with Coke!? Has anyone missed the common sense approach here!!?? It just doesn't make any sense if you are paying so much on uni fees to be restricted to simple things like that which makes you feel unwelcome and unappreciated. The restaurant manager then, is able to bring home every opened red bottle of wine because ?????????
Not sure how they justify that considering the red wine would be still okay for consumption the week after!! There are so many rules for uni students that you feel you cannot breathe, its more like do as I say rather than do as I do sort of mentality. Towards the end of the semester then, you will have to attend the overall cleaning of the uni classroom as well as the training restaurant area, and here is the most ridiculous rule, if you don't show on both cleaning days, you are not entitled to your tips!!!!??? As if the tips were in any way related to the cleaning of the facilities, tips are made on the basis of a high standard of service provided to restaurant guests, which ironically should be well known by someone who teaches hospitality.

Other than the comments above the lecturer should have an understanding of didactics. It appears that there's an industry background/knowledge but a lack in the understanding of didactics which sets a fundament for teaching quality. On a final note, less students would be afraid of her and return to class without feeling pressured. All of our Australian co-students left and never returned to class, as the school/uni principal I would start wondering why!!! The only reason international students stay is the fact that they have paid a fortune in $AUSs prior to the course and would rather stay in the country. An appeal to the uni principal to perhaps introduce an anonymous feedback form to all students..the results may surprise some...

A beautiful campus .... health science department #movember idea is excellent... very informative and educational. A little far to visit just to see the display. #enjoy the photo. Take number 4 bus.

Great little uni. Staff are always helpful and a lot of opportunities for online studies. Love it!

So proud to pursue my PhD at CDU that is located in the safest place in Australia! Darwin is a covid-free paradise they say!

Beautiful campus. Nice to sit in the shade between classes.

I want to continue my english langguage in this place

Very Bad Teaching style
Really bad teaching method
Poor quality in teaching skills of CDU teachers
The Worst Australian Univeristy

Althought The international students paid lots of money (~70,000 AUD), CDU provided only Indian, Filipino, pakistan teachers with very bad English Accent/skills and poor teaching quality which made us many difficulties in understanding the entire lessons and really made us stressed out!

The only thing you can learn here is how to abuse advantage of monopoly... CDU don't have any competitor in NT.. so they never try to change or improve their disrespectful staffs/teachers even more than thousand of students complainted every day very week every month every year...

Charles Darwin university , it has best system education in Australia because the University has excellent professional lecturers and librarians support that help students to understand subject matters. Charles Darwin University admitted different students from many countries around the world including Europe and other parts of the world .

Disgraceful in every sense.
Do not even contemplate this educational facility.
Teaching staff are rude, disrespectful and the complaints system unilaterally supports teaching staff well in advance of complainant. Basically, good teachers are not interested in working here and qualifications for existing and retained staff (albeit a high turnover) reflects upon quality of education and student experience. If you don't want to end up with having to approach Anti Discrimination NT for court procedures or failing courses which you would easily pass elsewhere with adequate teaching, then do not engage this facility at any level. I have studied at a variety of educational facilities across Australia since 1986 and this facility is not a good experience. Ask many others and get a feel for public opinion; you will find many similar experiences.

I am all for diversity, however University is not something that should be easily accessible and should be for those willing to put in the hard yards to get into. Unfortunately this institution lets anyone in that can pay or even those that graduate Highschool in Australia on a very low ATAR. Despite low amounts of enrolments they should still maintain high level standards of entry to the top professional areas (i.e Law, Medicine, Engineering etc).

I love this place because it so beautiful and I'm very joyful to come again

I believe that this is a Outstanding university for study which i ever seen.

I am an international applicant to apply PhD there. Its international officer didn't reply my email or several days for replying one email. I have to dial their phone to urge and consult them. Sadly, they even can't speak decent English, the accent is heavy. Should not the officer work for international student speak a very good English with standard pronunciation?

It is good university for international student but some professor are so rude to the student. Have high stander of education and class .

CDU offers a range of undergraduate degree courses from nursing and science through to business and law. The university also offers flexible study options, including full-time, part-time and online education. State-of-the-art facilities, quality teaching and solid student support are just some of the few things that CDU can offer.

Horrible, most lecturers are rude and not helpful, like they have a chip on their shoulder. I asked for feed back on an assignment and that took 3 months. Lecturers showed bias toward a certain group students, I have a year left on my degree and will be going elsewhere.

Lovely campus. Can not forget what I have spent here.

I was finishing my journey smoothly with CDU as an external student while juggling with other matters. However, I encountered real problem when I approached to find my placement as an external(Interstate) student.

Horticulture Team are Great! Completed my Diploma of Horticulture here and couldn't be happier with CDU.

Half the time the lectures do not listen to the request you are making, they understand more about a book than real world scenarios. I've had one really good lecturer, but the rest have been average at best.

A new international students of master of accounting in the first semester at CDU, I am very disappointed about the CDU teachers and their teaching styles.

They are all international teachers from, for example, India, Russia or Philippines which make students very hard to listen and understand to their extremely bad English accent and voice We paid a lot of money to study here (Over 65,000$ fee for 2 years which is larger than the fee of Group of 8 (Australian Universities)) and we do not expect/accept to study with these teachers; We desired to be taught by 100% Australian Teacher/Lecturer/Professor.

Furthermore, their teaching style is very bad, they teach and talk a lot of unrelated things and don't go straight to the lesson; Their presentation slide design is also very; All we need is simple teaching style, for example, Our lecture today is about:....; Main point is....; First, I will talk about (Definition) and give simple example; Second, third. That s it, It is very simple for international student to understand.

I look forward to seeing the changes in the very near future!

CDU is my dream and ideal University for my program........hospitality management

I want to come this country and continue my education there
