Fremantle, Australia
A private Catholic university with real medical and health depth, anchored by historic, coastal Fremantle.
The University of Notre Dame Australia is a private Catholic university of around 12,000 students, with its main campus in historic, coastal Fremantle near Perth, plus further campuses in Sydney and Broome. It occupies a distinct niche among Catholic universities through genuine professional depth in medicine, nursing and physiotherapy, alongside education, law and business, taught in smaller cohorts with closer clinical and tutorial supervision than large public universities. Medicine entry runs through a separate, competitive selection process on top of standard admission. Fremantle's walkable, sandstone-streets setting is a distinctive alternative to anonymous CBD campuses, while the Sydney campus opens access to Australia's largest employment market for selected programmes.
