📖Introduction
The University of Notre Dame Australia is a prestigious institution that holds a prominent position among Australian universities. With campuses spanning from Sydney, New South Wales on the east coast, to the vibrant town of Broome and the picturesque city of Fremantle in Perth, Western Australia, Notre Dame offers students a unique opportunity to study their chosen degree across multiple locations. This flexibility allows international students to experience different cultures, landscapes, and academic environments, enhancing their educational journey. With a commitment to academic excellence and a strong focus on values-based education, Notre Dame provides students with a holistic learning experience that combines rigorous academics with personal growth and community engagement.
This double degree in Law and Politics & Journalism is your gateway to a range of rewarding careers
in the law, politics or journalism. Many lawyers pursue political careers, but a study of the law also
equips you to become a policy adviser in state or federal government. In addition, our Bachelor of
Laws degree is an accredited degree for admission to legal practice. It covers underlying legal and
ethical principles and explains how those principles are applied in legal practice.
Being part of the School of Law is a very rewarding and enjoyable experience. As a student you will
be in a small class (for the last few years our average class size has been 31 students) and have
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. The University aims to give students every opportunity to fulfil their potential as a
student and be inspired to go out into the community and really make a difference.
