University of Notre Dame

The University of Notre Dame Australia is a public Roman Catholic university with campuses in Perth in Western Australia and Sydney in New South Wales. It also has a regional campus in Broome in the Kimberley region. It was established by an act of the Parliament of Western Australia in 1989. Its Perth campus is notable for its restored late Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian-style architecture, most of which is ubiquitous in Fremantle's West End heritage area as a university town. Its two inner Sydney campuses are also located in historical landmarks, on Broadway and Darlinghurst, and it also has a number of clinical schools in regional New South Wales and Victoria.

It offers study programs in various fields of commerce, healthcare, education, psychology, law, medicine, sports science, occupational therapy and various fields in the arts and sciences. Its nursing, education and business programs are notable for having very high placement hours and it is one of two Western Australian universities providing courses in physiotherapy and postgraduate medicine. A number of programs can also be combined with biomedical science, as well as varying majors of study, and its interstate presence allows students to transfer between cities throughout their studies. It also offers a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) among other research programs and study programs in computer science with majors in artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and data science.

It is named after its founding institution, the University of Notre Dame (NDUS) in the United States, which played a significant role in developing the university and retains a seat on its board. Although separate institutions, both universities have historically maintained a close relationship and facilitated the exchange of staff and students since its inception.
