As a university, Notre Dame draws on centuries of teaching, scholarship and research, the foundations of which we share with over 2,000 Catholic universities and colleges across the world. We welcome students of all faiths, or no faith at all and, as a community, we promote and enjoy open and rigorous enquiry, debate and discussion. Notre Dame’s holistic approach to education is steeped in our intellectual tradition and is designed to develop you both academically and personally. This underscores why we are the number one university nationally for overall graduate satisfaction (Graduate Outcomes Survey 2019, qilt.edu.au ).
