Experience the World
| Students in the Fremantle and Sydney Schools of Arts and Sciences can add exciting short-term travel opportunities to their degree program which provide unique academic and practical learning experiences and offer the chance to engage in extraordinary community service activities.
Our Experience the World program offers students an opportunity to study with Notre Dame staff and students in short courses overseas or in other locations within Australia.

- travel to developing nations such as Uganda, Cambodia or India with Caritas Australia;
- spend up to a month in a remote Kimberley community;
- take an intensive study course for up to four week in world destinations such as New York, Spain or Washington DC to study the history, politics, culture and literature of your host destination.
Participation in these programs will provide students with additional professional and life skills that will not only enrich their learning experience at university, but will make their degree more marketable and attractive on completion.
In addition to the short-term study and travel opportunities provided by the School’s Experience the World program, students may also wish to consider a semester abroad as part of the university’s Study Abroad program.

Caritas Australia development program
We believe that university education should be about more than training for a profession. Rather, we want Notre Dame students to be ready to change the world.
Students of Arts and Sciences at Notre Dame are eligible to participate in an overseas program we conduct each year in partnership with the aid organisation, Caritas Australia. Teams of Notre Dame staff and students visit an overseas location such as Cambodia, Uganda or India. In an immersion experience of up to four weeks, the team explores the development work conducted by Caritas and studies, among other things, the intersection of poverty, development, politics and globalisation.
The Caritas program may be available as an elective within a degree program and may, on approval of the Dean, be counted towards a major or minor.
East Kimberley community immersion
Students of such Arts and Sciences discipline areas as Social Justice, Politics, History, Communications, English Literature, Legal Studies, Sociology, Behavioural Science and Counselling may be eligible to participate in our East Kimberley immersion program. This unique and often life-changing educational experience sees small teams of students travel to remote communities of Australia’s north-west twice a year. In such towns as Wyndham and communities as Oombulgurri, Notre Dame students spend four weeks living and working with local young people in a project designed to achieve meaningful reconciliation and greater engagement between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australia.
This program is normally available as an elective within a degree program and may, on approval of the Dean, be eligible to be counted towards a major or minor.

Intensive overseas study tours
Students of History, Politics and other disciplines can take advantage of Notre Dame’s overseas study tours and count the unit directly towards their degree major or minor.
Notre Dame’s own lecturers take students to such overseas locations as New York, Spain and Washington for up to four weeks where an intensive study program is conducted regarding the History and Politics of the city or country being visited. This program is often done in partnership with overseas universities and provides an amazing opportunity to combine study and travel.
