Studying in Northern Territory
The beautiful landscapes and relaxing energy of the Northern Territory make this state an Australian gem. It has some of the most unique education and employment opportunities available in the country, and is well-known for its culturally-diverse community and spectacular scenery.
NT offers an incomparable living environment for people looking for an outdoorsy lifestyle and a diverse society. It’s the only Australian state where you can find the best of both worlds — in NT’s capital city, Darwin, you get the beautiful tropics, and in its second major city, Alice Springs, you get the unfiltered Australian outback.
Your study experience in NT will be as unique as the state itself. NT offers a range of niche and specialised courses, including indigenous health, indigenous knowledge, and tropical and desert science. You can also choose to study Australia’s most popular subject areas, like nursing, law and business management. Charles Darwin University — NT’s main higher education provider — is ranked in the top 2% of universities worldwide.
Outside of your studies, you’ll have plenty of things to keep you busy and entertained. NT boasts some of the country’s most beautiful natural environments, like Uluru and Kakadu National Park. For a more social experience, you can wander over to the restaurants, bars and clubs on Mitchell Street.
