Why Australia?

The University of Notre Dame Australia was founded in 1989 and enrolled its first students in 1992. The University is Australia’s only private Catholic university with two campuses in Western Australia (Perth and Broome) and in New South Wales (Sydney). In the European and UK tradition, each is a “town campus” participating in the urban vibrancy of its setting.

There is the option of three great locations to study:
* Fremantle Campus (Western Australia)
* Sydney Campus (New South Wales)
* Broome Campus (Western Australia)

The University is intentionally small in size.  It offers you personalised and flexible quality courses in smaller classes, extensive internship experiences tailored to make you a work-ready graduate, and excellent pastoral care.

International students comprise just over 7% of all students and come from more than 50 countries.
They include Study Abroad students from our relationships with other Catholic universities, especially our “sister” Notre Dame in Indiana, US, and also in The Philippines, South America, Thailand, Singapore and Indonesia. Any international student can also participate in these study abroad programs – a great opportunity to experience another culture!

Core Curriculum
All undergraduate students, regardless of campus are required to study units in ethics, philosophy and theology dealing with issues that go to the very heart of participation in public life. Undergraduate students may also complete a unit in communication, a foundation unit that introduces students to the skills necessary for successful university study.

Postgraduate students in courses with a duration of a year or more are also required to undertake a unit of study in Ethics related to their professional or research area.

Fremantle Campus.The Fremantle Campus of Notre Dame is located in the historic West End of Fremantle, the main port city of Western Australia, 18 kilometres from Perth. It is a "town" university and the only one of its type in Australia.
The beautiful buildings of both the campus and the surrounding city of Fremantle lend a distinctive character to Notre Dame. Few universities in Australia can offer the atmosphere that Notre Dame provides. Study is a pleasure in this environment.
Sydney Campus. The University of Notre Dame Australia is Sydney’s newest university and the first private Catholic university on the East Coast of Australia.
Work is now complete on the Broadway Campus of The University of Notre Dame Australia. This site offers courses in Arts and Sciences, Commerce, Education, Law and Nursing and will become an exciting centre of learning in a rapidly developing part of Sydney.
Broome Campus. The Broome Campus, a very special part of the University of Notre Dame Australia and an environment focused on personal service to students.
The Broome Campus offers a range of pathways, undergraduate and postgraduate courses drawn from the Colleges of Business, Education, and Health.
The Broome Campus is dedicated to excellence, personal service to students, and the development of a caring learning environment.

Notre Dame combines high quality pathways and university teaching with a focus on the preparation for employment in a wide range of professions. It aims to develop young people intellectually, to give them the opportunity to enhance their faith and values and to accept the challenge of community service in their lives.

To help ensure that they balance professional education with academic breadth, all Notre Dame undergraduate students study theology, Aboriginal People and the Spirit of Reconciliation as part of their course

Notre Dame is a private university and has all the benefits that go with independence and an ability to focus on what its students want from higher education.
