The local uni ranked just behind Charles Sturt and Macquarie universities and above University of Western Australia.

CDU Vice-Chancellor Scott Bowman said the university had been striving to give students a quality tertiary experience.

“CDU is focused on providing a positive and enriching experience for all our students, whether it be on-campus or for those studying online,” Professor Bowman said.

“These results are a testament to our educators, staff and the student supports we have in place at CDU to enrich student learning beyond the classroom.

“By building the capacity of our lecturers, staff, and those that have critical touchpoints with our students we will ensure Territory students and beyond have the very best education.

“We are now above the national university average for entire educational experience and in regards to teaching quality, we have improved our rankings among other leading Australian universities.”
