    Bachelor of Primary Education

    Jeremy is passionate about education. He knew he wanted to become a primary school teacher before he’d even finished high school.

    He applied for an Early Offer through Notre Dame's Young Achievers Program and was offered a place in a Bachelor of Primary Education before his final exams.

    At Notre Dame, Jeremy's favourite part of his university experience has been gaining new insight into how to be an effective teacher.

    "Our lecturers and university cohort have had many discussions with us that have challenged my preconceptions about quality primary education," said Jeremy. "They have now opened my eyes to new ideas that have become part of my current pedagogy as an aspiring educator."

    Doctor of Medicine

    George chose to study medicine at Notre Dame because he wanted to see the bigger picture in healthcare and develop a more holistic view of the patient: 'It can be very easy to get tunnel vision on diseases and anatomy, when we will be treating real people with real hopes, fears and concerns. I really appreciate that the course at Notre Dame brings the whole person into focus.'

    Meeting people from all walks of life has been one of the best aspects of studying at Notre Dame. George has been able to draw from a broad range of perspectives and life experiences to enhance his own learning experience, learning from his peers as well as with them.

    'Notre Dame really challenges students to critically examine and cultivate their own ethical values. These finely honed values prepare the graduates of today to make ethical decisions as they grow into the leaders of tomorrow.'

    Bachelor of Arts (Archaeology)
    Ashleigh decided to study at Notre Dame because she was attracted to its community feel. She liked the idea of the campus being in the heart of town, right next to cafes, art galleries and bookstores.

    And for an archaeology student, the historic city of Fremantle holds a particular appeal: 'It’s awesome studying in Fremantle’s West End. We get to apply our learning directly to the heritage buildings that surround us, and often our classes involve walking tours or trips to places like the Round House or the Shipwreck Museum.'

    Ashleigh also appreciates the university’s holistic approach, noting that 'a Notre Dame education teaches us to be thoughtful and critical of our impact, gearing us to approach our chosen fields in a more conscious way.'
