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 around the world, has offered leadership in university education. › We are committed to a personalised university education, a specific focus on pastoral care and support for all our students. › Higher degrees by research are offered at each of our nine academic Schools. Through our three research Institutes, you have the opportunity to work with leading academics on projects and programs that deliver value to people and communities across the country. › Underscoring our dedication to developing a strong and innovative research culture, you will study alongside other research students who are also leaders in their fields. I encourage you to study this Research Guide and invite you to make contact with our staff if you have any questions. Professor Celia Hammond Vice Chancellor 3
