The UNDA also prides itself for being a small institution, at least smaller than most in Australia, since it intends, as a policy, to provide greater individual attention to the growth of each student, and indeed has one of the best student to faculty ratios in Australia. Also, thanks to a strong affiliation with the University of Notre Dame in the US, and also some others like Boston College, The Catholic University of America, College of St Benedict and the University of St John in Minnesota, the university offers excellent exchange programs for those who enrol, including international students. Also, each year round, students from various parts of the world, including the US, visit the university for one or two semesters, thus lending a truly international environment. Courses Offered The UNDA offers all the conventional courses of study, right from the foundation level, upto bachelor's, masters's and doctorate degrees. The university also offers short summer and preparatory courses, for working professionals.
International students can take free English language classes.
Fees Even though UNDA is a private university, and thus should cost more, surprisingly it doesn't - atleast as far as international students are concerned. Since the university is a Catholic university, there is always a strong emphasis on ethics of life, along with knowledge. Impetus is therefore, on churning out an individual who is not only proficient in academics, but is also well-rounded in other spheres of life. Thus, university has a well-structured welfare program, where students undertake projects on environment, rural support, mature age support, and various other outreach efforts . Approximately 15 per cent of the university's enrolment is drawn from overseas.
