Build a stronger and brighter future together

Our goals are bold and achieving them requires discipline and vigour. Our ambition is to serve society through educating and forming our students so they can in turn serve the communities in which they live and work.

We invite you to explore our Strategic Plan, which articulates a clear vision for Notre Dame yet allows us to retain the qualities that make us unique and distinctive.

2022-2026 Strategic Plan

"My peers, tutors, professors and Notre Dame staff create a thriving community that makes the campus feel alive!"

It's our future

Our ambition is to serve society through educating and forming our students so they can in turn serve the societies in which they live.

Our objectives in Universality are anchored in the Catholic faith, which strives to find the truth, excellence, and goodness in all the work of Creation. That faith also inspires us to invite others into that vision.

Five pillars

Central to the strategic plan are five key pillars which outline our commitment to deliver our vision for the University. Each pillar is inspired by our ethos and outlines a clear roadmap of how we will achieve our ambitious plan to build a stronger and brighter future for our students, staff and community.

By the end of 2026, the University of Notre Dame aims to have achieved all of the sustainable and actionable outcomes which underpin each of the five pillars.
