About

Notre Dame is a private Catholic University, extending from the West Coast of Australia in the beautiful and historic City of Fremantle, to the North-West town of Broome and across the continent to the heart of Sydney.
Notre Dame embraces the ancient and esteemed traditions of Catholic Universities in Europe, North America and 2000 years of the Catholic Intellectual Tradition. It welcomes people of all faiths or none at all. As an academic community, Notre Dame welcomes open and rigorous enquiry, debate and discussion.

Notre Dame has an enrolment of over 12,000 students and offers a comprehensive range of undergraduate and postgraduate programs. The student experience, employment and graduate outcomes are among the very best in Australia. Notre Dame provides its students with the theoretical knowledge and professional skills which will empower them to realise their potential, build interconnectedness with all peoples and willingly serve the community through active participation, engagement and reflection.

The school has a powerful commitment to honouring the individual and recognises that each student is graced with their own gifts and talents. Notre Dame believes that higher education should prepare students for a rich, fulfilling and reflective life, not just a career path. The University of Notre Dame Australia is a modern Catholic University, operating in a world in which the vast speed of change is felt in nearly all aspects of our daily lives. It brings to bear traditions and values to engage in scholarship and research, to address the developments and challenges of the modern world, to serve the common good and to assist all students to achieve the academic excellence that the school promotes and expect.

The Sydney Campus is based across two sites – Broadway and Darlinghurst – both located in the vibrant social hub of the harbour city.

Why The University of Notre Dame Australia - Sydney
  • Scholarships: The University of Notre Dame offers generous International Welcome Scholarships of up to 25% to provide tuition assistance to international students. The scholarship will last for the full duration of their program and is awarded as a partial tuition fee waiver. 
  • Professional Experience: At Notre Dame, students are set up for life beyond university. Students learn from academics who have extensive experience in their fields. Through practicum placements, internship and volunteering programs, students will graduate with experience on their CV – a real advantage in getting the job they want. According to results of the latest longitudinal Graduate Outcomes Survey, 92.7% of Notre Dame’s undergraduates were employed full-time within three years of graduating.
  • Catholic Intellectual Tradition: Notre Dame degrees, based in the Catholic intellectual tradition of liberal education, equip students with an increased ability to think and reason, a vital advantage not only during study but far beyond to their professional and personal lives. Students are encouraged to expand their minds. They learn to think creatively and critically, to see the world, its opportunities and their place in it more clearly. They learn to learn for life. This is done through Core Curriculum courses in Philosophy, Theology and Ethics which are part of all Notre Dame degrees. They are designed to provide a unique and enduring advantage in all aspects of daily life.
  • Location:  The Broadway site of The University of Notre Dame Australia is situated in the colourful inner-city suburb of Chippendale. Nestled among Sydney’s most vibrant neighbourhoods, the campus proudly encompasses heritage buildings, leafy courtyards and is home to the Schools and Departments of Arts & Sciences, Business, Education, Law, Philosophy & Theology, Study Support and Pathways. The Darlinghurst site of The University of Notre Dame Australia is just metres from St Vincent’s Hospital and a few minutes from Sydney’s CBD, the cultural centres of Paddington and Surry Hills. As the home of  future Medicine and Nursing experts, Darlinghurst gives students access to excellent facilities included simulated wards and consultation suites.

Features

31 out of 31 programs are eligible for Temporary Graduate Visa.

The Temporary Graduate Visa (subclass 485) allows international students who have recently graduated from an Australian institution to live, study, and work in Australia temporarily after they finish their studies.
This visa is divided into two streams:

  • Graduate Work stream – For international students who have skills and qualifications that relate to an occupation on Australia's Skilled Occupation List. This stream grants a visa for up to 18 months.
  • Post-Study Work stream – For international students who have recently graduated with a degree from an Australian institution. This stream can grant a visa for 2 to 4 years depending on the qualification level (bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral degree).

The Temporary Graduate Visa helps graduates gain work experience in Australia, and in some cases, it may also help them qualify for a skilled migration visa if they meet additional criteria.
