Fees, Loans and Scholarships Information Undergraduate Scholarships Introduction Selection for scholarships is typically a competitive process whereby candidates are ranked according to set criteria. Applicants are selected in January of each year. In many cases, once a scholarship has been awarded, students are required to meet certain conditions, which usually include maintaining academic grades. Notre Dame Scholarships Each year, Notre Dame awards a number of scholarships to high achieving applicants for each academic faculty. Academic Merit Scholarships may be awarded to successful domestic applicants who have demonstrated outstanding academic record and who will support the mission and goals of the University. Scholarship application forms must be submitted by 31 December 2014. Scholarships are notified prior to their enrolment. External Scholarships In addition to the scholarships offered by the University, a number of scholarships are offered by external organisations. The Notre Dame website scholarships page contains useful information and links to a number of external scholarship providers: www.nd.edu.au/scholarships/sydney.shtml. Eligibility for these scholarships is usually based upon students’ ability to meet certain criteria. Examples include scholarships offered for: Students of the School of Education Students with indigenous backgrounds Students of the School of Nursing Students who will be Studying Abroad Information for these types of scholarships and many others is available via the Notre Dame website. Postgraduate Scholarships Coursework Students For postgraduate students engaged in coursework, a number of fieldspecific scholarships are available. Information on some of these is available via the Notre Dame website scholarships page: www.nd.edu.au/scholarships/sydney.shtml. Your course coordinator may also be able to provide you with some advice in seeking out a suitable scholarship. Research Students Students enrolled in a higher degree by Research may apply for the following scholarships: The Australian Postgraduate Award (for domestic students) The Endeavour International Postgraduate Research Scholarship (for international students) Fees Students at The University of Notre Dame Australia are able to pay their fees upfront each semester, or alternatively they can access the Higher Education Loans Program (HELP). This federally funded Program has two loan options: Students who have been offered a Commonwealth Supported Place can access HECS-HELP. Students who have been offered a fee paying place can access FEE-HELP. Below is more information about fees and who is eligible to receive assistance from the government. Higher Education Loans Program (HELP) Each semester, students are issued with an invoice detailing the units and fees for that semester. With each invoice the student can decide how to pay - either by accessing HELP (if eligible), or paying up-front. There are two separate HELP options, as mentioned above, that assist students with tuition fees: FEE-HELP & HECS-HELP. Only Australian Citizens and holders of permanent humanitarian visas are eligible to access the HELP. Australian permanent residents and New Zealand Citizens are NOT eligible to access the HELP. A student is only able to access the HELP to cover their tuition fees. The HELP does not cover additional costs like textbooks, accommodation or stationery. The HELP is NOT means tested; all Australian citizens and humanitarian visa holders are eligible to receive HELP regardless of their income and assets or the income and assets of their family. There is no application fee for requesting the HELP. All HELP forms need to be returned to the University before the census date. The HELP debt is incurred immediately after the census date. Students begin to pay back their HELP loan once they start earning over $51,309 (as at 2013-2014 tax year). The Tax Office calculates the compulsory payments, and this depends on how much over the threshold a person is currently earning. Therefore, the more a person earns the higher the compulsory repayment will be until the debt is repaid. There is no interest charged on a HELP loan, but the loan is indexed annually to maintain its real value. If a student wishes to withdraw from a unit or a course, they need to withdraw before the university census date and follow the correct withdrawal procedures. If they withdraw after the university census date they will be liable for the semester cost of the unit or course. The University of Notre Dame requires all payment of fees to be made two weeks prior to the commencement of Semester. A brief summary of the HECS-HELP and FEE-HELP programs can be found on the reverse of this flyer. Additionally, information regarding a number of scholarships and awards is available via the Notre Dame research website: www.nd.edu.au/research/scholarships.shtml 7 HECS-HELP HECS-HELP Only students who have been offered a Commonwealth Supported Place Only students who have to been offered a Commonwealth Supported (CSP) are eligible access HECS-HELP.

For the majority of courses, however, not all units in a given course of study are within the same discipline. For example, students enrolled in the Bachelor of Education may undertake some units of study from the “Education” discipline and some from the “Arts” discipline. In this example, the student contribution for the Arts units would be calculated against the Arts discipline, while the Education units would be calculated against the Education discipline. Fees listed below are based upon the normal full-time load for each individual course. Courses that require students to “overload” will attract higher annual fees. Fee levels vary from year to year and the University makes no guarantee that the 2014 fee levels will be maintained in future years. Commonwealth Supported Places The Commonwealth Government subsidises students at public universities with Commonwealth Supported Places (CSP) and students contribute a part of the cost of their education. Notre Dame is a private university with limited CSP and is therefore only able to offer a limited number of CSP to students studying in the National Priority courses of Education, Nursing and Medicine. Students enrolled in Not For Degree study are required to pay full fees upfront. Notre Dame Fees Students in most degrees without CSP funding still benefit from tuition fees that are close to the CSP-equivalent.

Many courses have practicum and internship programs as a compulsory component, providing students with valuable industry experience and an opportunity to build networks that can lead to employment in the future. In the case where the practicum or internship is optional, the University assists the student, where possible, to secure an appropriate placement. The Law Internship (Law in Context) is available to final year students as an elective unit. Students undertake a work placement with an approved legal practitioner (or an approved legal practice) for at least 39 hours. Through reflective learning, students will sharpen their practical legal skills, develop an appreciation and understanding of the ethical dimensions to legal practice and come to a mature and critical appreciation of the role of lawyers in society. School of Arts & Sciences School of Nursing Bachelor of Arts The Arts Internship is a unit of study available to 3rd year students in areas of Arts, Communications, English Literature, History, Politics, Sociology and Theatre Studies. The Arts Internship consists of three components: Internship practical: 80 hours of supervised experience in a relevant work context related to a student’s major.

Workplace insights: including presentations by industry leaders. Practicum experience: 150 hours in a professional workplace. School of Education The School of Education’s Professional Experience Program is designed to provide students with the opportunity to develop their teaching skills and professionalism. This gives pre-service teachers an excellent academic experience and a rigorous school-based teaching experience. During these practicum experiences, students may be placed in Catholic, independent and public schools throughout NSW. The Bachelor of Nursing program allows students to develop their knowledge and practice through intensive practicum experiences totaling at least 1054 hours throughout their degree. These take place in a wide range of settings: eg. Public and private hospitals, medical practice centres, community health centres and voluntary service agencies. The practicum program maximises student employment prospects and helps the student develop career intentions well before graduation.

Testimonials School of Education “The best thing about the Education course is the practicum – I think it is an effective reality check. Notre Dame students undertake 30 weeks of practicum, which helps students develop the skills and knowledge to be an effective teacher”. Andrea Brocklehurst, Bachelor of Education School of Arts & Sciences “The Internship Program was a great opportunity to get real industry experience before I graduated. I selected the course in my final semester to maximise my chances of gaining employment through networking, learning practical skills and building a portfolio of published work at Cosmopolitan Magazine. After completing my placement for uni, I was asked back to ACP as a permanent intern. Now I intern for Cosmopolitan every week and have been given some great opportunities like writing my own stories and filling in for staff members.” Tamara Russo, Bachelor of Arts PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS OFFICE Arts For further information on The University of Notre Dame Australia, contact the Prospective Students Office Tel: (02) 8204 4404 Fax: (02) 8204 4422 E-mail: [email protected] Internet: www.nd.edu.au The minimum number of hours of internship/practicum in undergraduate 140 Broadway (PO Box 944), Broadway NSW 2007 degrees is listed below: 14 ADMISSIONS OFFICE For further information on the admissions process at The University of Notre Dame Australia, contact the Admissions Office Tel: (02) 8204 4430 Fax: (02) 8204 4422 Email: [email protected] Internet: www.nd.edu.au 140 Broadway (PO Box 944), Broadway NSW 2007 Disclaimer: The information contained in this document was correct at the time of publication but the University reserves the right to make subsequent changes.

III (PT101, PT102 and PT103) aim to bring to life for students the substance and values of the Catholic faith and of philosophical tradition. The Logos Programme will provide opportunities for student choice in engaging creatively with deep questions of individual and social life. It will also raise questions which are designed to link faith and philosophy, including ethics, to professional practice in a number of vocational disciplines. In doing so, the Programme aims to stimulate students’ interest and curiosity, to motivate learning and to have a positive impact upon student’s formation as individuals and as members of communities. The unique character of The University of Notre Dame Australia is reflected in the commitment to ethics as part of the Core Curriculum. Students are challenged to consider the values and qualities of ethical leadership, to debate with other students and staff the challenges of developing and maintaining standards of ethical choice and behaviour and to develop a broad range of insights into the practical application of ethical principles in their chosen field of employment. The Logos Programme Structure: The Logos Programme is composed of 3 units. In each unit students will need to choose, and successfully complete, 8 modules of study from the extensive range of module topics offered. A module is a faceto-face learning session with lecturers and tutors and is usually accomplished in 3 to 4 hours. Topics are drawn from the areas of philosophy, moral philosophy (ethics) and theology. There will be two basic types of modules; (i) Compulsory Modules – all students will be required to successfully complete some compulsory module(s) in each unit of the Programme. (There are 4 compulsory modules in total across the 3 units of Programme). (ii) Elective Modules – students will be required to successfully complete elective modules for each unit of the Programme. (Twenty (20) electives in total must be completed across the 3 units of the Program. Five (5) of the elective modules completed must be in the area of theology.)

Through successful completion of the Tertiary Enabling Program, students are made more competitive in their application to gain entry to undergraduate studies.

While these courses are designed to provide a good fit between TEP students and their potential future studies, students will not be restricted in their choice of undergraduate program as a result of the TEP course that is chosen. It is strongly recommended, however, that those students intending to move into the Bachelor of Nursing opt for TEP (Nursing) so they can take the Human Biology unit. The Tertiary Enabling Program gives students a taste of academic life in a supportive and rewarding environment.

The University’s School of Arts and Sciences offers a comprehensive range of challenging and innovative study programs, the diversity of which reflects both the continuing strengths of the traditional disciplines and the dynamism of emergent areas of critical inquiry. The Bachelor of Arts is a three-year degree comprising 24 semester-length units, with students typically undertaking four units each semester. The Bachelor of Arts degree at Notre Dame follows the classical model in which a student pursues at least one discipline for the full length of the degree. This group of eight units is known as a major, and may be selected from any of the disciplines listed below. Arts and Humanities students can follow their personal and professional interests across a broad range of disciplines, from Applied Psychology and Politics and International Relations to Mathematics, Theatre Studies and Theology, enabling students to contribute to the cultural and intellectual life of the broader community. The Bachelor of Arts (BA) combines analytical and critical thinking skills with the opportunity for students to explore studies in traditional and contemporary humanities. Most students in the BA degree choose to undertake a second major (8 units) or minor (6 units), thus fulfilling the requirements in two distinct, although often related, disciplines. The purpose of providing a broad range of options within the Bachelor of Arts structure is to enable students to build a stimulating and varied program whilst at the same time graduating with genuine, indepth knowledge in their chosen fields. The University’s commitment to excellence is complemented by opportunities for formal and informal teacher-student interaction and a congenial scholarly environment. Major areas of study Notre Dame’s Arts and Humanities courses have a higher rating for graduate satisfaction with regard to teaching quality than any other Australian University. The Bachelor of Arts at the University of Notre Dame offers the following majors: Why Study Arts at Notre Dame? The School of Arts and Sciences is a small community of engaged scholars who will support and nurture students’ specific areas of interest. The School of Arts and Sciences is committed to working directly with students to develop opportunities for them to engage with their chosen industry, in order to deepen their studies as well as to create solid work opportunities. An Arts degree enables students to develop key employability skills in areas such as analysis and innovative problem-solving, cultural awareness and adaptability, and communication and learning skills. Notre Dame offers significant flexibility between discipline areas so that, with elective choices, students can create a degree that best develops key skills and interests. Course Duration The Bachelor of Arts program generally takes 3 years to complete on a full-time basis. It is also available on a part-time basis (Domestic students only). This duration may vary depending on the major chosen and the units undertaken during the degree. Advertising Applied Psychology Business* Business Management* Chaplaincy Studies English Literature Film and Screen Production History Human Resource Management* Journalism Marketing* Mathematics Media Studies Philosophy Public Relations* Politics and International Relations Social Justice Sociology Theatre Studies Theology *Business Majors (Business, Business Management, Human Resource Management, Marketing or Public Relations) may only be undertaken as a second major (i.e. an Arts major must be selected as the first major). 25 HECS-HELP s Mode of Study & Assessment Successful Study This course is only offered in internal mode.

It is also available on a part-time basis (Domestic students only). Course Structure: The first year of the Bachelor of Commerce combines foundation units of study in areas such as Accounting, Economics, Business Communications and Management with introductory units in a student’s major field of study. The structure of the course allows for the maximum degree of flexibility should a student decide to change their Major after their first year. Single Majors: The following majors are offered in the Bachelor of Commerce degree: • Accounting • Advertising • Economics • Finance • Human Resource Management • Management • Marketing • Public Relations Double Majors: Double majors are particularly recommended as they allow students the opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge and skills in more than one area, while still completing a single degree program. The following combinations are available as part of the Bachelor of Commerce: • • • • • • • • • • Accounting / Finance Accounting / Human Resource Management Accounting / Management Accounting / Marketing Finance / Human Resource Management Finance / Management Finance / Marketing Human Resource Management / Marketing Management / Marketing Marketing / Public Relations Students should seek advice from the School as to the availability of other double majors. Double Degrees: A unique feature of courses at Notre Dame is the flexibility allowed in planning the degree program. There is opportunity to combine a Bachelor of Commerce with a degree in another discipline in order to increase general knowledge and skills. Employers value people with a broad education, with specific skills across a number of areas. By combining studies in two or more fields, students can increase their job prospects, extend their general education and pursue more than one interest. A Bachelor of Commerce can be combined with almost any other field, but typical combinations include studies in Law, Arts, Communications and Behavioural Science. 45 Honours: Study Abroad Opportunities: Students who meet the School of Business academic requirements may apply to undertake Honours – a fourth year of full time study. An Honours degree makes your qualifications more competitive within the business profession as you contribute to developing the knowledge base of your specific discipline.

Planning a Bachelor of Philosophy Degree: At Notre Dame, we educate students to think critically and to become knowledgeable and considerate citizens. We work to develop qualities that will allow our students to contribute positively to the communities with which they identify. Our aim is to educate the whole person by facilitating engagement with the deeper questions of individual and social life, through the study of philosophy within the Catholic liberal arts tradition. The history of philosophy, including medieval philosophy, provides the foundation of a broad and balanced philosophical education. Students are taught to approach philosophy from within the tradition of Ancient, Medieval and Modern philosophy while also grappling with the contemporary problems addressed by both analytic and continental philosophy. The Bachelor of Philosophy comprises 24 semester length units, with students typically undertaking four units each semester. Notre Dame takes a personal approach to philosophical education. In our teaching, we emphasise the lived and practical implications of philosophy. Students are asked to consider the meaning and purpose of human life and in particular of their own lives. We also focus upon and value pastoral care and constructive interaction in our relations with students. This is reflected in our small class sizes, time provided outside class for students to talk with their lecturers, and the social activities within the School and on the wider campus. We aim to be collegial: a community of persons seeking wisdom together within the resources of western philosophy. About Philosophy at Notre Dame: The root meaning of ‘philosophy’ is ‘the love of wisdom’, but what does this mean for us today? Essentially the impulse to philosophise is the desire to understand the most fundamental and enduring questions concerning human beings. In this sense, our quest for truth in religion and science, our quest for values for living, for beauty in art and literature, for meaning in politics and history are all driven by the philosophical impulse to find answers to some of the most fundamental questions of human existence. Students of Philosophy are encouraged to reflect deeply and critically on these fundamental questions and are challenged to examine their own beliefs and values and their practical implications for living. They learn to apply various methods of evaluating the arguments of both Christian and secular thinkers, and develop cultural literacy by exploring how philosophical thought has influenced western culture. The Bachelor of Philosophy Degree: The Bachelor of Philosophy degree offers students an all-round education in the history of philosophy and various philosophical disciplines including major topics and thinkers in contemporary philosophy.
