The scholarship will last for the full duration of their program and is awarded as a partial tuition fee waiver.&nbsp;</li><li><u>Professional Experience</u>: At Notre Dame, students are set up for life beyond university. Students learn from academics who have extensive experience in their fields. Through practicum placements, internship and volunteering programs, students will graduate with experience on their CV – a real advantage in getting the job they want. According to results of the latest longitudinal Graduate Outcomes Survey, 92.7% of Notre Dame’s undergraduates were employed full-time within three years of graduating.</li><li><u>Location</u>: First accepting students in&nbsp;1992, this campus is perfectly located, just a short 3-minute walk from Bathers Beach, 5 minutes from all major transport hubs and a 30-minute train ride to Perth CBD.&nbsp;Located at the mouth of the Swan River, Fremantle has been the major port for Western Australia since the very beginnings of European settlement in 1829. Despite its proximity to Perth (just 14kms upriver), Fremantle has maintained its own unique identity which is reflected in its mixture of colonial, late Victorian and Edwardian architecture; some of Australia’s best-preserved convict era structures can be found here. Since the opening of The University of Notre Dame Australia in 1989 Fremantle has also been known as ‘a university town’ and supports a growing student population.</li><li><u>Catholic Intellectual Tradition</u>: Notre Dame degrees, based in the Catholic intellectual tradition of liberal education, equip students with an increased ability to think and reason, a vital advantage not only during study but far beyond to their professional and personal lives. Students are encouraged to expand their minds. They learn to think creatively and critically, to see the world, its opportunities and their place in it more clearly. They learn to learn for life. This is done through Core Curriculum courses in Philosophy, Theology and Ethics which are part of all Notre Dame degrees. They are designed to provide a unique and enduring advantage in all aspects of daily life.</li></ul><p><br></p>
