Student review [#40824] for Communication and Public Relations
at The University of Notre Dame

The University of Notre Dame Australia is one of the few universities where you have the opportunity to make real time connections with staff, students, and future employers.

The personal connection between Notre Dame staff and the student is what has let me grow. Having constant feedback and honest conversations about both academic work and day-to-day life is an aspect I truly value. Not only do I get to walk into class and know my tutor or lecturer, they know me. They know my strengths and weaknesses, therefore they know how I can improve over the semester. Notre Dame sets you up for success, because having someone with you every step of the way is one of the most comforting sentiments needed to prove you are worthy of the title you wish to earn.

With this connection between staff and students, it is a step forward to set you up in the real world. For example, my Public Relations lecturer and tutor was the key person in securing me a job at a government authority, despite only being in my second year. She was the one to check in on me and make sure everything was running smoothly, that my application process was done in a timely manner, and if something was wrong she made the calls and emails.

Notre Dame provides you all of this because they genuinely care about you. You stick with the same cohort and tutors/lecturers for the entirety of your degree, you learn together, and you grow together, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
