Students from across Australia and overseas are about to get their first taste of university life as Orientation Week activities begin at Charles Darwin University (CDU) campuses and online this week.
Over a thousand domestic and international students will attend in-person and online activities as part of CDU’s Orientation Week program which will run from February 27 to March 3.
At present enrolment numbers for new students starting at CDU in 2023 are strong, with just over 1950 newly enrolled domestic students and 360 newly enrolled international students for semester 1 2023.
It is expected that these numbers will increase to nearly 2150 new domestic students and 1000 new International students by the start of the semester.
Welcome events across CDU campuses will see students get their first glimpse into university life with welcome packs and information sessions on offer as well as the opportunity for students to meet their peers.
Deputy Vice-Chancellor Students and VET, Sam Jacob said Orientation Week events provided students with a sense of what university life will be like.
