FREMANTLE, Australia
ABOUT THE LOCATION. This study abroad program operates in conjunction with the University of Notre Dame Australia. Located in Fremantle, it is the first private Catholic university in Australia and one of four major universities located in Western Australia. Covering more than one-third of the continent, Western Australia is a land of contrasts featuring a wide range of climatic and geographical conditions. Fremantle itself is just 20 minutes from Perth, the capital of Western Australia. Its shops, museums, universities, and people provide a rich cultural and educational experience for students spending a semester "down under.”

PROGRAM OF STUDIES. Designed for juniors this study abroad program is open to students from all colleges within the University. A special civil engineering and geological sciences program has been developed for fall semester participants who are juniors; it combines coursework with intensive field research in several Australian mining and engineering companies. All students are encouraged to enroll in a specially designed course on Australian history, during which they have the opportunity to travel to the north coast town of Broome where a special unit in Aboriginal studies is offered. The University of Notre Dame - Australia offers undergraduate courses in communications, psychology, theology, law, education, and several foreign languages.
