The University of Notre Dame Australia is a private Roman Catholic university established in 1990 in the Western Australian port city of Fremantle, . While the University of Notre Dame Australia has "strong collegial links" [link] with the American University of Notre Dame located in South Bend, Indiana, they are separate institutions.
The University has campuses in Perth, Western Australia, Broome, Western Australia and Sydney, New South Wales.
With faculties including Law, Arts and Sciences, Business, Education, Medicine, Nursing and Theology, it is Western Australia's smallest university, with just over 5000 students enrolled. In percentage growth terms, however, it is one of Australia's fastest growing universities (Source: Australian Department of Education, Science and Training).
In 2006, Notre Dame Australia established its first campus in Sydney, at the corner of Broadway(Parramatta Road) and Abercrombie streets, close to the CBD. It is a small campus with close ties to St. Benedict's Church. There are 450 students enrolled in Arts, Commerce, Education, Law and Nursing courses. A medical school is planned for the Darlighurst Campus in 2008.
The University records some of the highest graduate satisfaction ratings for teaching quality and generic skills development, as well as overall graduate satisfaction (Source: Graduate Careers Council of Australia). It has a small but growing research profile, especially in the areas of education and health.
Notre Dame Library
The main Library at Notre Dame is St Theresa's. Compared with other universities in Australia, especially the other Western Australian Universities, St Theresa's is small. There is a strong focus on online resources.
