Welcome to Notre Dame
We believe in the power of education to change lives, form good citizens, and help people be the best version of themselves.
Our students are our number one priority. Since being established over 30 years ago, we have continued to pride ourselves on excellence in teaching and learning, and the student experience.
We’re open to all beliefs and views and are deeply committed to supporting our students to help them to be the best version of themselves. In doing so, we encourage our students to thrive and make an important contribution to our communities.

Working for a Catholic University
We’re committed to creating an environment where staff and students feel part of a community, welcoming people from all backgrounds regardless of their faith. We encourage our staff to participate in religious, academic and social events hosted throughout the year.
There are also opportunities to engage with members of the broader community through initiatives such as public lectures, debates and presentations hosted by the University.
I love working in a supportive environment where pastoral care and student wellbeing is at the heart of what we do.
