Experience Australia at Notre DameWithin these pages we hope to give you an overview

of our exceptional Australian university – a university

which extends from our west coast Campus in the

beautiful historic city of Fremantle, part of Perth in

Western Australia, to the north-west town of Broome

and across the country to our Campus located in the

heart of Sydney in New South Wales.

NOTRE DAME IS UNIQUE IN MANY WAYS.

As a private university we are committed to providing

you with a comprehensive university education in

which you are supported every step of the way.

As Australia’s first Catholic university, we follow the

tradition – which for centuries has provided

leadership in university education around the world

backgrounds and from all corners of the globe.

Over the past 29 years, we have focused on becoming

a leading university of Australia, providing a top quality

education predominantly for Australian tertiary students.

Our leadership position is consistently recognised in

surveys conducted by our national government, surveys

that rate us number one in Perth and Sydney for a number

of key indicators including Overall quality of educational

experience and Overall employer satisfaction.

As a result, the distinct Notre Dame ‘experience’ is

attracting increasing interest from students all over

the world and we are now opening our doors to more

leading Australian university offers a unique opportunity for

students from overseas, like you.

Our focus on providing an exceptional education is also

reflected in our low student numbers. We have only 12,000

students across our three Campus communities with less

immerse yourself in our Australian way of life and enjoy an

authentic Australian university experience.

We look forward to welcoming you to Notre Dame.

At Notre Dame, we lay the foundation for ‘thinking big’ through a program embedded in

all undergraduate programs called the Core Curriculum or LOGOS.

The Core Curriculum in Fremantle and the LOGOS Programme in Sydney bring all our

students together under one banner of intellectual enquiry and equip students with

invaluable skills, combined with academic and practical knowledge. The disciplines

studied in the program include Philosophy, Ethics and Theology.

The rewarding skills of critical thinking and creative problem solving


The program aims for a real change in students’

understanding and choices through the following:

› Developing the capacity for critical reflection and

reasoned argument;

› Exploring how reason and morality inform our social,

cultural and professional interactions;

› Discussing the relationship between faith and reason;

› Encouraging the integration of discipline-specific

knowledge with transferable, interdisciplinary skills; and

› Bringing together students from different disciplines

and backgrounds to study collaboratively key themes

from Western philosophy and Catholic theological

traditions with a contemporary perspective.

The program is intriguing, enjoyable, builds mind and

character, and leads to questions that will help students

make their life and work more meaningful and richer

in potential. Students will learn to think creatively and

critically and see the world, its opportunities and their

place in it more clearly. They will graduate with the ability

to think and reason – strengths highly valued by future

employers.

SARAH FINDS HER PEOPLE THROUGH BEHAVIOURAL SCIENCE “I came to Australia as a traveller

and fell in love with Fremantle, so

I chose to live here,” says Sarah, a

Master of Philosophy graduate.

Sarah felt the unique Notre Dame

environment was the right fit for

her after travelling to Australia

from Germany and enrolling as an

international student.

After completing a Bachelor of

Behavioural Science degree at Notre

Dame, Sarah completed her research

due to a research tuition scholarship

made possible by the University.

“I have a passion for research and

when the opportunity to apply

for the scholarship for the Master

of Philosophy by research came

along, it totally changed my life.”

“Specifically the Core Course Ethics

was beneficial to me, as it offers

foundations on how to analyse

problems and situations, and how

to look for solutions. Critical thinking

helps me a lot in both my Masters

and in my private life,” she says.

“ BY RESPECTING THE DISTINCTIVE RIGHTS OF OUR FIRST AUSTRALIANS, STUDENTS LEARN THE RESPONSIBILITY OF EACH INDIVIDUAL IN ACHIEVING SOCIAL JUSTICE FOR ALL CITIZENS.”

Campus: Fremantle

Practicum: 225 hrs

The Bachelor of Science prepares

students, not only for the complex

challenges of today’s world, but

also for the future where the skills of

scientific investigation such as data

collection and analysis, critical thinking

and effective communication will be

essential to success in the workplace.

The Notre Dame Bachelor of Science

degree offers experience across

several areas of science, extending

the range of job possibilities, including

those outside the traditional laboratory

setting. The three-year program

provides a solid foundation in key areas

of science such as maths, biology,

archaeology, chemistry, ecology, as

well as research and investigation,

data analysis and experimental

design, and communication skills.

From this foundation students can

select a stream that aligns with their

passion: the Biology & Environment

Stream; the Environment & Heritage

Stream or: the Human & Medical

Science Stream. Each stream provides

in-depth knowledge and practical

hands-on experience in the classroom,

the laboratory, and in the field.

P Proposed for 2019

BIOLOGY & ENVIRONMENT STREAM An understanding of biology and the

environment is at the heart of many

of today’s most significant scientific

developments, including solutions

to global challenges. The Biology &

Environment Stream equips students with

the fundamental skills and knowledge to

work with the complexity and diversity of

life, from cellular to ecosystem levels.

A strong practical focus gives students

valuable hands-on experience of

plants and animals from aquatic,

coastal and terrestrial settings and

introduces students to approaches

for the management and welfare of

our natural environments. Students

can combine this stream with study in

specialist courses such as environmental

assessment and spatial analysis as part

of their three-year program. The unique

flexibility in the degree program allows

students to explore specific interests

and pursue career possibilities by

combining this stream with study in

complementary fields.

PLANTING THE SEED FOR A CAREER IN ENVIRONMENTAL REHABILITATIONStudying for a Bachelor of Science

(Biology and Environmental

Science) has inspired Notre

Dame student, Lachlan Warner,

to consider working in the area

of environmental management, a

career that involves sustaining the

environment for future generations.

“The highlight of the coursework

at Notre Dame is the hands-on

experience. The University takes

students outside the classroom

and into the lab or industry areas

where they experience the real

world side of their studies,” he said.

“The three courses of Philosophy,

Ethics and Theology have opened

my eyes to a broader perspective

of life. There is so much going on

around me and the Core Curriculum

has helped me to critically analyse

the day-to-day settings and

scenarios that I encounter.”


“ THE HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE, WORKING IN A LAB WITH AN INDUSTRY PARTNER IS SO VALUABLE TO MY STUDIES.”

the study of ecology, biodiversity,

physical geography, natural resource

management, environmental impact

assessment, and the application of

spatial analysis.

Cultural heritage is introduced via

archaeology and features field

experiences to hone skills in material

collection and analysis and includes

study in specialist areas such as

maritime archaeology and the

archaeology of Indigenous Australia.

PLAYERS CAN BENEFIT FROM HEAD TRAUMA EDUCATION, REFLECTION: RESEARCH A team from The University of Notre

Dame Australia’s Institute for Health

Research is investigating the short-

term links between head trauma and

depression in young football players.

The research, led by PhD candidate,

Sarah Harris, with support of

a team of academics from the

University, indicates that players

exposed to concussion exhibit

changes in emotional wellbeing

and cognitive function as they age.

“Findings to date show that 35

players reported 194 head knocks

over the course of a football

season. Those who received one

or more head knocks reported

statistically significant higher levels

of depressive symptoms than those

who received no head knocks.

“These were injuries that were not

diagnosed as a concussion by a club’s

medical staff, therefore allowing the

player to train or take part in a match

the following week,” she added.

Research supervisor, Associate

Professor Fiona Farringdon said

players, coaches, parents and

support staff can benefit from

being more aware of the potential

negative impact of head knocks on

mental health.

“This may lead to closer monitoring

of symptoms and emotional

changes, resulting in a supportive

environment that encourages players

to seek early medical assistance

within or outside the club,” she said.

SUPPORT FOR SUCCESS“Notre Dame has a very good

research support system. You are

able to go on your own path – it

doesn’t restrict you in what you can

write and find,” says Notre Dame

Master of Laws student Isabel.

An international student from Brazil,

Isabel elected to study her Master

of Laws at Notre Dame’s Sydney

Campus due to its research

support system.

“Notre Dame gives you full support,

not only academically, but in all

aspects of your life.

“It has a very good environment. It is

a small university with good values.

“I am studying religious freedom

and anti-discrimination law.”

Isabel said Notre Dame is very

intellectually stimulating, and

also praised the support she had

received from the International

Students Committee which she said

had been very beneficial.

IMPROVING THE HEALTH OF MARGINALISED COMMUNITIESBorn in Rwanda and having lived as a refugee for most of his life, Emmanuel has experienced the reality of health inequity. The aspiring humanitarian doctor is studying at Notre Dame’s School of Medicine, Sydney.

“Doctors have the privilege that people can listen to them. It is important to use that privilege in ways other than just medicine; like advocacy,” Emmanuel said.

Emmanuel advocates for refugee health and wellbeing through education of the Australian community. His passion also extends to rural medicine and Indigenous health and inequalities in public health.

“My first choice was Notre Dame, I wasn’t wrong, I love it here,” Emmanuel said.

“Their programs are centred on social justice and train you to serve where you are needed, it is about helping the patient,” Emmanuel said. “I like the University’s community focus and because we are a very small cohort, we all know each other and that includes the Dean.”

LUCAS LIVING HIS AUSTRALIAN DREAM“There’s a lot of advantage being an international student at Notre Dame; there’s lots of academic support, a great social aspect and good sporting clubs,” says Lucas, an international student from China who is studying a Bachelor of Nursing at Notre Dame’s Fremantle Campus.

“The whole environment is brilliant – the sunshine, the beach, the food. The people are really friendly here.”

When Lucas was weighing up his university choices, Notre Dame was top of his list as a stand-out University to study Nursing in Western Australia.

“All my friends who graduated from Notre Dame’s School of Nursing eventually got great jobs and that’s the evidence. They had brilliant reviews about the University. The lecturers and the tutors are really supportive,” Lucas said.

“The University prepares us to be ready for the job and to be a decent human being.”

POSTGRADUATE


MASTER OF NURSING



The Master of Nursing is undertaken

by thesis only and is best suited for

students who prefer a Master’s to a

PhD, but do not feel a need for more

structured research training such as

offered by the Master of Philosophy.




The Master of Philosophy begins with

coursework followed by the completion

of a thesis and therefore gives students

the opportunity to refine their skills

in research design and analysis prior

to beginning research in their topic

area. The Master of Philosophy can be

undertaken in any research area of the

national Nursing Schools.

DOCTOR OF NURSING



The Doctor of Nursing offers an applied

three-year program leading to a thesis

of approximately 80,000 words. While

the PhD seeks to make a scholarly and

theoretical contribution, the Doctor of

Nursing seeks to bridge the theory-

practice gap and make a practical

contribution to industry-based or

professional knowledge. The Doctor

of Nursing combines research training

coursework with the development of

the thesis.



Candidates for the Doctor of

Philosophy (PhD) prepare an original

thesis that makes a substantial

contribution to knowledge. Typically,

the degree requires three years of full-

time study. The Doctor of Philosophy

can be undertaken in any research

area of the national Nursing Schools.


NEW UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF RURAL HEALTH AT NOTRE DAME Nursing students will have a unique

a recently announced $54.4 million

Federal Government initiative.

From 2018, this initiative will provide

a significant boost for the Kimberley

have a greater opportunity to live,

study and work in the Kimberley.

“It will not only provide greater access

The University emphasises the Catholic

intellectual tradition, a tradition that values

and promotes the whole person as a

pathway to an ethical and informed way

of living. All students participate in the

‘community of enquiry’ through the Core

Curriculum courses of Philosophy, Ethics

and Theology, exploring issues that go to

the heart of participation in public life, with

the aim of developing valuable life skills

and broadening social and cultural values.

You will develop critical thinking skills,

the ability to communicate effectively, the

capacity to defend a reasoned point of

view on ethical and moral issues, and the

expertise necessary for leadership in our

contemporary society.

WHY STUDY PHILOSOPHY AND THEOLOGY AT NOTRE DAME? Do you have a long list of questions about

the way we live our lives? How and why we

acquire knowledge? Or how we judge our

own actions and the actions of others?

The study of Philosophy and Theology

at Notre Dame not only fully explores

the Catholic intellectual tradition, it

encourages you to consider and question

fundamental assumptions, gives you

confidence to defend theories by helping

to develop strong life skills.

The outcomes of our degree programs

are perhaps best reflected by our

students. In the Federal Government’s

TALKING PHILOSOPHY WITH LAURA D’OLIMPIO“Philosophy is the study of big

questions – questions about how

we ought to live, what kind of

knowledge we can acquire and

how we judge things as good,

true, or beautiful,” said Philosophy

lecturer, Laura D’Olimpio.

“The practice of philosophy

involves investigation of

fundamental assumptions about

the universe, and our place in it.

It invites us to enter into dialogue

and consider the many and various

answers to these eternal questions,

and to defend some theories as

stronger and as more convincing

than others.”

KNOWLEDGE FOR LIFE“Notre Dame offers not just facts,

theory and practical experiences,

but deeper insights that help

to inform our pathway through

and the Catholic faith that

underpins the University and its

Objects. An international student

from the Philippines, Jhee credits

Notre Dame for allowing him to see

MASTER OF THEOLOGY



As a Catholic university, Notre Dame

is committed to the statement of Ex

Corde Ecclesiae that “theology plays

a particularly important role in the

search for a synthesis of knowledge as

well as in the dialogue between faith

and reason”. The Master of Theology

offers the opportunity to research how

the Church has come to understand

the role of faith in history and to carry

out research of perennial significance

within the context of contemporary

scholarship, using authentic methods

of interpretation.




Candidates can study the Master of

Philosophy on Notre Dame’s Fremantle

and Sydney Campuses. Students

have the opportunity to contribute to

the exploration and communication

of researched inquiry about the

reality of the world, knowable by

reason (philosophy); or, building

on that philosophical knowledge,

the implications of the Church’s

role of faith, through Scripture and

Tradition. Research students employ

contemporary scholarship in pursuit of

fundamental questions explored within

their respective disciplines.

Research can be undertaken in either

discipline of Philosophy or Theology.




Candidates in the Doctor of Philosophy

become formed, through their research

projects, in the methods of their

chosen discipline. Within the context of

contemporary society and scholarship,

students develop robust knowledge

about areas of research that are key

to inquiry within a Catholic university.

Key areas of research are oriented by

the conviction that “Without in any way

neglecting the acquisition of useful

knowledge, a Catholic university is

distinguished by its free search for the

whole truth about nature, man and

God” (Ex Corde Ecclesiae, 4).

highly regarded internationally,

although each country has its

own registration processes.


The opportunities for a career

in physiotherapy are excellent,

whether that be a career in the

public hospital system, private

practice or non–government

organisations (NGOs) and/or with

the combined knowledge from

the Exercise & Sport Science

program, a career pathway

incorporating application of

exercise, physical activity and

sport in the community.

Career pathways include the

following disciplines and areas:

› Aged care

› Cardiorespiratory

› Musculoskeletal

› Neurology

› Paediatrics

› Sport

› Women’s and men’s health

› Health care management

› Industrial rehabilitation

› Research and/or Academia


The School of Physiotherapy provides a comprehensive foundation in the sciences – from anatomy and physiology to behavioural science, communication and movement sciences, equipping students with the skills to make an effective transition into the workplace.

UNDERGRADUATE

71SCHOOL OF PHYSIOTHERAPY


PHYSIOTHERAPY

BACHELOR OF PHYSIOTHERAPY

Campus: Fremantle

Practicum: 1200 hrs

The Bachelor of Physiotherapy focuses

on the physiotherapist-client relationship

and is highly practical in nature.

Physiotherapy students undertake a

comprehensive university program,

including specialised physiotherapy

studies, behavioural and health sciences,

and professional development.

The program is developed around the

concept of physiotherapy as an applied

science with foundation sciences

introduced to the student in parallel with

their studies. Throughout the program,

emphasis is placed on the importance

of evidence-based clinical practice

and the use of ongoing research in

physiotherapy, designed to develop and

build student research skills for use in

professional practice.

Professional ethics and behaviour are

key integrating factors.

SAMPLE COURSES

Anatomy & Physiology of the Neuromusculoskeletal System

Molecular & Cell Biology

Foundations of Physiotherapy Practice

Anatomy & Physiology of Body Systems

Movement Sciences for Physiotherapy

Soft Tissue Injury Management

Four Clinical Courses are completed in the fourth year (six weeks each), accompanied by a capstone five-week academic block.

DOUBLE DEGREE

BACHELOR OF PHYSIOTHERAPY / BACHELOR OF EXERCISE & SPORT SCIENCE

Campus: Fremantle

Practicum: 1400 hrs

This unique double degree is designed to

produce very well-rounded practitioners

who are particularly knowledgeable and

skilled across: the preventive aspects

of physical activity, health, sport and

exercise prescription; the complexities

of the neuromuscular, cardiorespiratory

and metabolic response to exercise;

as well as in the analysis of physical

activity and sport, and the diagnosis and

management of injuries that may occur

from physical activity.

The double degree in Physiotherapy and

Exercise & Sport Science is the only one

of its kind in Australia.

ADDITIONAL COURSES

Exercise Physiology

Motor Control Development and Learning

Advanced Biomechanics

Nutrition for Health and Physical Activity

Principles of Strength and Conditioning

HONOURSThe Honours program is embedded within

the standard four years of the Physiotherapy

program and the five years of the double

degree. Students with high levels of

achievement (Distinction average) may be

invited to consider the Honours program.

The Honours program comprises the

design and development of a research

project and the completion of a research

dissertation, all supervised by a member

of the University’s Research staff.

Honours students enrol in a specific

Honours research program in Semester 2

of their third-year and the final year.

“ NOTRE DAME EMPOWERS US ALL TO THINK BIG AND REALISE OUR CAPABILITIES.”

PHYSIOTHERAPY GRADUATE


Increasing exposure to clinical

experience is a key integrating

factor of the Physiotherapy

program. From first-year, students

are exposed to clinical practice

through a Pre-Clinical Experience

program. The formal clinical

education program commences

with a five-week placement in

second-year, continues into

third-year and culminates in

almost full-time clinical practice

during the final year of the

program. Students develop clinical

assessment, treatment skills and

reflective professional practice in

laboratories and through exposure

to patients in physiotherapy

practices, hospital or community

health settings in urban and rural

centres.


“ AT NOTRE DAME, PHYSIOTHERAPY STUDENTS ARE VIEWED AS OUR FUTURE COLLEAGUES. THIS MAKES TEACHING REWARDING: WE ARE COMMITTED TO HELP STUDENTS BECOME THE BEST PRACTITIONERS POSSIBLE.”

LECTURER

MASTER OF SCIENCECampus: Fremantle


The Master of Science aims to expand

knowledge, research skills and

intellectual inquiry, culminating in a

research thesis within which students

demonstrate their capacity to conceive,

design and complete independent yet

supervised research.

MASTER OF PHILOSOPHYCampus: Fremantle


The Master of Philosophy is an ideal

pathway to expand knowledge,

research skills and intellectual inquiry

within a broad and multidisciplinary

context. The degree has a mix of

coursework to enhance knowledge

and research training, as required, and

a research dissertation within which

a student demonstrates the capacity

to conceive, design and complete

independent yet supervised research.

DOCTOR OF PHYSIOTHERAPY

RESEARCHCampus: Fremantle


The Doctor of Physiotherapy Research

fits within the category of a professional

doctoral degree and, as a research

degree, is suitable for those who aspire

to the highest academic achievement

with a particular emphasis within the

context of professional practice. The

Doctor of Physiotherapy Research

provides an extension of research

training, and through a research

thesis, examines crucial issues and

developments within the profession.

DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (PHD)Campus: Fremantle


The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) is a

thesis-based research degree and

is expected to be an advanced-

level investigation into a significant

question, problem or phenomenon.

The thesis submitted will present a

systematic, written presentation of

the results of study, investigation and

research that makes a substantial

and original contribution to the body

of knowledge in its field. The field

of research within Physiotherapy is

developed in consultation with staff

within the School. Where appropriate,

the project may involve support and

supervision from other Schools within

the University.
