3 WELCOME TO THE UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME AUSTRALIA’S POSTGRADUATE GUIDE Within these pages, we hope to give you a snapshot of our very special Australian university – a university which extends from the west coast in the beautiful and historic city of Fremantle, to the north-west town of Broome, and across the continent to our Campus located in the heart of the city of Sydney. Notre Dame is unique for a number of reasons: ›› As Australia’s first Catholic university, Notre Dame follows the traditions and practices of Catholic higher education which, for centuries in many countries across the world, has offered leadership in university education. ›› We are committed to providing a personalised university education, underpinned by pastoral care and support for all our students. ›› Our admissions process focuses on each applicant as an individual. We use a broad based assessment of suitability which looks at your past achievements and your potential; we aim to assess your capacity to complete your chosen program and to become a valuable contributing member of our community. ›› We aim to educate you for life through a powerful combination of theoretical knowledge and practical and professional skills in your chosen degree. I encourage you to study this Guide and look forward to welcoming you to Notre Dame’s Fremantle Campus. Professor Celia Hammond Vice Chancellor
