Bachelor of Arts
University of Notre Dame Australia, Fremantle, WA / Sydney, NSW, Australia
About this program
Notre Dame's BA covers the usual humanities spread (history, English, philosophy, politics), but the university's smaller scale and Catholic mission mean genuinely small tutorial groups and a values and ethics thread running through core units, framed differently than at a secular university. Available across the Fremantle and Sydney campuses, with slightly different elective offerings depending on location.
It's commonly taken as a combined degree (Arts/Law, Arts/Education) rather than standalone, and the degree's smaller enrolment numbers mean students get real access to academic staff rather than being one of several hundred in a lecture theatre.
