Education Postgraduate Guide 2023

Welcome to The University of Notre Dame Australia’s 2023 Postgraduate Education Guide Professor Francis Campbell Vice Chancellor The story of our University is a remarkable one. It is a story of people committed to a vision of the establishment of Australia’s first university based in the Catholic Intellectual Tradition. What continues to define Notre Dame is our focus on pastoral care and the excellent teaching and learning experience we strive to create for every one of our students. Our emphasis on practical experience through work placements, internships, and volunteering opportunities means you graduate from Notre Dame job-ready, and our graduates are highly sought-after in the competitive employment marketplace. Notre Dame draws on a rich tradition of teaching, scholarship and research, the foundations of which we share with more than 2,000 other Catholic universities and colleges around the world. We welcome students of all faiths and beliefs and, as a community, we promote and enjoy open and rigorous enquiry, debate and discussion. Our students are our number one priority. Our role is more than delivery of an outstanding learning experience. We take great pride in educating the whole person—the academic, social, physical and spiritual dimensions. In doing so, we encourage our students to thrive, and make an important contribution to our communities. We are a university committed to making a positive difference by undertaking transformative research, which addresses real-world issues. Our staff are experts in their fields of endeavour, and they work to ensure our students are equipped with the confidence, knowledge and skills to successfully navigate this rapidly changing world across all industries and vocations. We invite you to join us as we build a brighter and stronger future together by pursuing your postgraduate studies with Notre Dame.
