The University of Notre Dame Australia – Information Handbook 2015
Welcome to The University of Notre Dame Australia’s 2015 Information Handbook.
Within these pages, we hope to give you a snapshot of our very special Australian university which celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2014.
Notre Dame is 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 harbour city of Sydney.
Notre Dame is unique for a number of reasons:
› 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 a personalised university education, underpinned by pastoral care and support for all of 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 course and to become a valuable
contributing member of the community.
› We aim to educate you for life by giving you a broad liberal arts base through our core curriculum units, coupled with a powerful
combination of theoretical knowledge and practical and professional skills in your chosen degrees.
I encourage you to study this Information Handbook. I invite you to make contact with our friendly and helpful staff if you have any questions.
We look forward to welcoming you to The University of Notre Dame Australia.

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:

Undergraduate Domestic Student Fees 2014 – Sydney Campus
How Fees Are Calculated
The fees below are indicative of a full-time load in each of the discipline areas and represent the cost of studying a fulltime load of units within that discipline. 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. The list below
indicates an estimate of the 2014 first year tuition fees for Notre Dame courses. The actual cost will depend upon the number and
discipline of the units selected.

Commonwealth Supported (HECS) Places
[email protected].
The HECS-HELP loan scheme assists eligible students who have been allocated a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) in paying their
tuition fees. Repayments can be deferred until students are in the workplace.
HECS-HELP FACTS
Students who are Australian Citizens or holders of Permanent Humanitarian Visas, and who have been allocated a CSP are eligible for a
HECS-HELP loan. Please note: New Zealand Citizens and other permanent residents are eligible for Commonwealth rates but not for the
payment discount or the loan. These students must make a full upfront payment of their fees each semester.
Eligible students receive a discount of 10% when they pay $500 or more of their student contributions (for a study period) up-front.
On 1 January 2014, subject to the passage of legislation, the HECS-HELP discount of 10% for up-front student contributions will be removed.
Voluntary repayments of $500 or more towards an existing HECS-HELP debt attract a 5% bonus. From 1 January 2014, subject to the passage
of legislation, the voluntary repayment bonus of 5% will be removed.
Students must commence repaying their loan when their income reaches $51,309 in the 2013-14 financial year. Consult
www.studyassist.gov.au for further information.
FEE-HELP Loan Scheme
Australian citizens and holders of permanent humanitarian visas are eligible for FEE-HELP assistance. This allows the fees to be paid by the
Commonwealth to the University and, as with HECS-HELP, repayments are deferred until students are in the workforce.
FEE-HELP FACTS
Fee paying students are able to borrow the cost of their fees from the Commonwealth if they are Australian Citizens or Permanent Humanitarian
Visa Holders. Please note – New Zealand Citizens and other Permanent Residents are NOT eligible for FEE-HELP.
For 2013, there is a limit of $93,204 on FEE-HELP loans for all students except those studying Medicine, who are have a limit of $116,507.
Voluntary repayments of $500 or more towards an existing FEE-HELP debt attract a 5% bonus. Students commence repaying their loan when
their income reaches $51,309 in the 2013-14 financial year. Students who work while studying will start their repayments based on their current
income.
There is a loan fee of 25% for FEE-HELP loans for undergraduate courses of study only. The loan fee does not count towards your FEE-HELP
limit. There is no loan fee on postgraduate units or the Tertiary Enabling Program and Foundation Year. Graduate Entry Medicine (MBBS) is an
undergraduate program and as a consequence students in this program using FEE-HELP will incur the 25% loan fee.
Students may choose to pay tuition fees upfront for part or all of their units of study. Only the deferred fees will incur a FEE-HELP debt.
Consult www.studyassist.gov.au for further information.

International Student Fees & Charges 2014
Tuition
Accommodation Costs
Tuition costs vary depending on the course being studied, as well
as the study load. Courses such as Education, Law and Nursing
may attract higher fees and/or a greater study load per semester.
Accommodation costs vary depending on the type of
arrangement chosen- residential college, shared apartment,
living alone in rented accommodation or staying with relatives.
Sharing a room in a house will cost approximately AU$200-$250
per week excluding amenities (bills). Full board and lodging costs
approximately AU$320- $440 per week. Students may be liable
for a bond (usually four weeks’ rent) which is refundable upon
departure. Detailed information regarding accommodation
options is available from
http://www.nd.edu.au/downloads/study_abroad/sydney/accommo
dation.pdf
Tuition fees may vary in subsequent years.
All fees for the first year are to be paid at least four weeks prior to
the start of the first semester. Second and subsequent years’
tuition fees are payable each semester, two weeks prior to the
start of semester. The University does not offer payment by
instalment or extensions to payment due dates.
Living Expenses
As a general guide, you could expect to spend around AU$250 to
$350 per week on living expenses, not including tuition fees or
accommodation. Living expenses include food, transport,
entertainment, books and other items such as clothing. On
average, an international student needs AU$18,000 - $20,000
per year for all living expenses.

Internships and Practicum Placements
Overview
School of Law
Notre Dame recognises the importance of preparing its students for a
successful career in their chosen professional field. 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.
Internship workshops: including seminars by recruitment experts
covering topics necessary to prepare students for employment.
Internship report and evaluation
School of Business

Workplace preparation: including seminars by recruitment
experts covering topics necessary to prepare students for

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.”

RECOMMENDED COURSES OF STUDY
NOTRE DAME’S ADMISSION PROCESS
The subjects listed are not strict course prerequisites. They are
intended as a guide to the appropriate preparation for the demands of
the relevant course.
The University of Notre Dame Australia seeks to enrol students who wish to
make a special contribution to society. To identify such students, the
University applies a comprehensive admissions process which goes
beyond the use of a single score. Entry is based upon personal qualities
and motivation to study, contribution to school and community life,
academic record and ATAR (or International Baccalaureate results) and a
University interview.
The admissions process at Notre Dame is personal. Every applicant is
considered on an individual basis. Prospective students apply directly to
the University for admission.
MINIMUM ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
The minimum entry requirements for School Leaver applicants are:
Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR)
The University of Notre Dame Australia’s admissions process is
multifaceted and goes beyond a single score. The University has set an
indicative ATAR score of 70 for most general courses.
Some courses such as double degree programs and the Bachelor of Laws
require a higher indicative score.
International Baccalaureate
In order to be eligible for most undergraduate courses an indicative
International Baccalaureate (IB) result of 25 or above has been set by the
University.
Some courses such as double degree programs and the Bachelor of Laws
require a higher indicative score.
Arts
Year 12 English
Business
Year 12 Mathematics

evidence of two years of completed full-time study in Australia. Should an
applicant not have done so they may be required to sit an IELTS exam.
Please contact the Admissions Office for further information.
Those applying for a Bachelor of Education should have achieved at least a

Academic Enabling &
Support Centre
Alternative entry pathways, as well as academic and enabling support programs delivered by
the University’s Academic Enabling & Support Centre (AESC), are available should students
wish to further develop their academic capabilities. The AESC doesn’t just provide academic
support to students enrolled in coursework at Notre Dame; it also offers alternative entry
pathways to help students reach their academic potential.
Foundation Year
Tertiary Enabling Program
The Foundation Year (FY) is an enabling program designed
specifically for students who have not met undergraduate minimum
entry requirements or who may have experienced educational
disadvantage during their school years. Educational disadvantage may
be the result of economic, cultural, social, health or emotional factors.
Through successful completion of the FY, students may gain
entry into undergraduate studies in the Schools of Arts & Sciences,
Business, Education, Nursing (Nursing & Midwifery on the
Fremantle Campus) or Philosophy & Theology. Entry is contingent
upon meeting the entry requirements for individual degree courses,
and the availability of spaces within those courses.
The Tertiary Enabling Program (TEP) is designed for students who
have not met the requirements for entry into the University’s Bachelor
degree programs. The TEP provides students with academic skills
focusing on analysis, research and academic literacy. The course
is an alternative pathway into Notre Dame whereby students can
master competencies needed for successful undergraduate study.
Course structure
The Foundation Year is a one-year course. In Semester One
students complete four units:
› Literacy Competency
› Academic Writing
› Research Skills and Information Technology
› Mathematical Competency
In Semester Two, all students complete one compulsory and two
elective undergraduate units from an approved range of units in
their proposed degree pathway. They are also required to complete
Learning Skills, a not-for-degree unit designed specifically to
enhance learning skills and provide ongoing support.
The Foundation Year provides a smooth transition to
undergraduate study with a reduced workload, increased support
and early access to undergraduate units. It is a unique enabling
course that meets the needs of students who have faced
challenges in their education.

The three Units of the Logos Programme: Logos I, Logos II, and Logos
[email protected].
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.)
PT101 Logos I
To complete PT101, students will successfully complete the compulsory
module ‘Think’ & seven elective modules of their choice.
PT102 Logos II
To complete PT102, students will successfully complete the compulsory
module ‘Choose’ & seven elective modules of their choice.
PT103 Logos III
To complete PT103, students will successfully complete the compulsory
module ‘Live’, followed by 6 elective modules of their choice, and will
then wrap up the entire Logos Programme with the final module ‘Learn’

Introduction
The Foundation Year (FY) is an alternative entry pathway to
undergraduate studies at The University of Notre Dame Australia,
Sydney Campus. The Foundation Year is an enabling course designed
specifically for students who have not met the minimum entry
requirements for undergraduate study. The Foundation Year (FY) is
especially recommended for those who have experienced educational
disadvantage or disruption. Educational disadvantage or disruption may
be the result of economic, cultural, social, health or emotional factors.
The Foundation Year is an innovative course that offers students:





The opportunity to apply for entry into undergraduate studies
upon completion
A study environment that is challenging, yet achievable
A course that provides ongoing support
Coursework that is contemporary and engaging
An excellent foundation for lifelong learning
After successful completion of the FY, dependent upon their results,
students may gain entry to undergraduate studies in Arts and Sciences,
Business, Education and Nursing.
The FY is available to students who:

Did not achieve the ATAR/HSC result expected, or

Can demonstrate educational disadvantage which impacted
on their academic success, or

Can demonstrate academic ability which is not reflected by
their current results, and/or

Have been away from study for some years and are keen to
undertake undergraduate studies.
Course Outline
The Foundation Year is designed to introduce students to the demands
of academic study. It covers fundamental topics such as research,
critical thinking, mathematics, academic writing and learning skills. The
units offered in semester two of the FY are derived from different
academic disciplines. Completion of a particular Foundation Year
course however, will not restrict a student’s choice of undergraduate
study: Arts and Sciences, Business, Education or Nursing may be
applied for on completion of any FY course.
The first semester of the FY is focussed on academic literacy and
core skills needed for success in undergraduate studies.
In the second semester, students undertake undergraduate units from
their anticipated future course, plus a support unit. This makes students
eligible, upon successful completion of the FY course, to apply for
Advanced Standing towards a relevant undergraduate degree.
Students will not be restricted in their choice of undergraduate
study as a result of the Foundation Year course that is chosen. For
example, students may enrol in FY Nursing but might change their mind
and choose to apply for undergraduate study in Arts & Sciences or
Business.

Introduction
Areas of Study
Students in the Tertiary Enabling Program study six core units plus one
stream-specific unit relevant to their proposed undergraduate course.
The Tertiary Enabling Program (TEP) is an alternative entry pathway to
undergraduate studies at The University of Notre Dame Australia,
Sydney Campus. The TEP is comprised of one semester (13 weeks) of
study.
TEP (Humanities/ Business/Education)

Learning Skills

Literacy Competency

Academic Writing

Research Skills and Information Literacy

Mathematical Competency

Information Technology for Academic Purposes

Applied Learning
What does this mean?
Through successful completion of the Tertiary Enabling Program,
students are made more competitive in their application to gain entry to
undergraduate studies. Entry into undergraduate courses will be
dependent on sufficient places being available and meeting the
minimum entry requirements for the particular degree.
Please note: admission to a number of degree programs including
Law and Medicine is not available through the Tertiary Enabling
Program. Degree programs may be excluded from time to time at
the University’s discretion.
TEP (Nursing)

Learning Skills

Literacy Competency

Academic Writing

Research Skills and Information Literacy

Mathematical Competency

Information Technology for Academic Purposes

Human Biology
The program is available to students who:

Did not receive a UAI/ATAR score that meets standard
university entrance requirements; or

Are 20 years of age or over in their year of admission and
have achieved a Special Tertiary Admissions Test (STAT)
score of over 140; or
Have completed a Certificate IV in an area which is unrelated

to their undergraduate course of interest.
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.

About Arts at Notre Dame
Planning a Bachelor of Arts degree
Students of the Arts and Humanities at Notre Dame Australia
have the opportunity of enrolling in a range of courses leading
to a quality liberal arts education. 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.

Mode of Study & Assessment
Successful Study
This course is only offered in internal mode.
At Notre Dame we emphasise the value of the human person
and the importance of maintaining an ethical way of life. All
students undertake studies in Philosophy, Ethics and Theology
– dealing with issues that go to the very heart of participation in
public life.
Students also complete a unit in Communications. This is a
foundation unit that will introduce students to the skills essential
to successful university study and help them to adjust to a new
learning environment.
Excellence is rewarded at the annual Awards Night, at which
outstanding students in each discipline receive commendations
and prizes and a creative student production is showcased.

seeking skills through CV workshops, interview technique classes,
coaching sessions and assistance in finding a students perfect
match with an internship employer. An internship provides students
with the opportunity to put theory into practice.

Notre Dame’s Business graduates gain valuable skills and
knowledge, making them highly attractive to potential employers.
In particular, the strong ethical focus of the course produces
graduates with values and ideas which are sought after in today’s
competitive marketplace. The actual employment opportunities

disciplines that solve business and policy problems

in their chosen field of endeavour
Course Duration:
The Bachelor of Commerce program generally takes three years to
complete on a full-time basis. 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:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

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.

The School of Arts and Sciences is a small community of engaged
scholars who 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 skill and interests.
Course Outline:
A feature of the courses at The University of Notre Dame Australia is
the availability of double degree programs. By extending their course,
students are given the opportunity of completing a double degree. The

The Bachelor of Commerce/ Bachelor of Arts has a strong emphasis on
ethics, practical commercial learning and the concepts of duty, social
function and service to others as dictated by the ethos of the University.
The Notre Dame Commerce/Arts degree allows students to select from
a number of majors to cater for individual interests and talents as well
as desired career outcomes. Students complete the full requirements
for the Bachelor of Commerce degree and half of the course
requirements for a standard Arts degree.

Honours:
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.
Double Degrees:
A special feature of courses at Notre Dame is the flexibility allowed in
planning your degree. There is opportunity to combine study in Human
Resource Management with units from other areas in order to increase
general knowledge and skills.
Employers value people with a broad education, and specific skills in
certain areas. By combining studies in two or more areas, students can
increase their employment prospects, extend their general education
and pursue more than one interest.
Human Resource Management can be combined with almost any area.
Some appropriate combinations include Human Resource Management
with Applied Psychology and Human Resource Management with Arts.

The Bachelor of Laws at Notre Dame is a fully accredited Australian
law degree permitting graduates to seek admission to the legal
profession following completion of an articled clerkship or an
accredited Practical Legal Training (PLT) program. In addition
to this, the Bachelor of Laws degree does not limit graduates
to a career in law. The qualification itself is recognised by many
employers as a hallmark of excellence and as providing invaluable
training for a wide variety of careers.

The practical experience I have gained through my
law degree has been career-changing. My lecturers
helped me arrange work experience at the District
Court, which has given me a better understanding of
the day-to-day realities of working in law. It’s really set
the direction for my career.

encourage students to also enrol in an Arts or a Commerce degree. This
only involves an extra year of study (if you enrol in the double degree at the
start). The completion of a double degree enhances your employment
prospects and allows you to choose a career from a wider field of
opportunities. It also gives you more time to make the transition from school
study to university study in Law.
The following double degree programs are offered in Sydney:

Bachelor of Laws / Bachelor of Philosophy
UNDA Course Code 3486
About the Bachelor of Laws / Bachelor of
Philosophy:
The Bachelor of Laws degree is an accredited degree for admission to legal
practice. It combines an excellent coverage of underlying legal and ethical
principles with an explanation of how those principles are applied in legal
practice. Classes are usually small and most academics have a substantial
amount of experience in legal practice.
The Bachelor of Philosophy degree is studied in conjunction with the
Bachelor of Laws degree and is discussed below.
Being part of the Notre Dame School of Law is a very rewarding and
enjoyable experience:

The Law classes are usually small (most have less than 50 students)
and there is excellent access to academics outside of class. Inspired by
the caring Catholic ethos which runs through the School of Law,
academics are committed to quality teaching and providing excellent
pastoral care to each student. We aim to give you every opportunity to
fulfil your potential as a student and be inspired to go out into the
community and really make a difference.

The Notre Dame Law degree has more compulsory Law units (and
covers some of the legally required “Priestley” subjects in greater detail)
than many other courses in New South Wales.

Most academics have a substantial amount of experience in legal
practice (as either solicitors, barristers or judges). This allows you to
learn not just the legal principles but how they apply in legal practice.
Exchange between Sydney and Fremantle Campuses:
Notre Dame has a School of Law at each of its Sydney and Fremantle
campuses. The Sydney School of Law is located on Broadway (just a short
walk from Central Railway Station). Some students from each campus
choose to spend one or more semesters studying at the other campus.

Why study Philosophy at Notre Dame?
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. It also includes treatment of the Catholic philosophical
tradition. Students will develop high-level critical thinking skills, linguistic
ability and the ability to defend a reasoned point of view. More
importantly, students will be equipped to engage critically with the views
of others as they develop their own views on ethical issues and on the
force and reliability of claims to truth and knowledge.
Course Duration:
The Bachelor of Philosophy generally takes three years to complete on
a full-time basis. It is also available on a part-time basis (Domestic
students only).
Students study at least 13 Philosophy units, plus the Core Curriculum
units (the Logos Programme). The units on offer are chosen from an
approved list (see below). At least three of these must be taken at the
300 level. Additional electives may be chosen from subjects other than
philosophy.
The required philosophy units may be selected from the following
