UND Academic Calendar

UND Employer Profile

The University of Notre Dame Australia, with campuses in Fremantle, Broome, and Sydney, follows a semester-based academic calendar typical of many Australian universities. The academic year is divided into two main semesters: Semester 1, which generally begins in late February or early March and concludes in June, and Semester 2, which starts in late July or early August and ends in November. This structure includes mid-semester breaks, examination periods, and an extended summer break from December to February, aligning with the Southern Hemisphere’s seasonal cycle. Unique to Notre Dame, the university often incorporates intensive study periods or short courses during breaks, catering to students seeking accelerated learning opportunities or professional development.

  • Semester 1 Start: Late February 2025 (typically around February 24) – Orientation week for new students precedes classes.
  • Mid-Semester Break (Semester 1): Early April 2025 (often aligned with Easter holidays, around April 4–11).
  • Semester 1 Exams: Early to mid-June 2025 (specific dates vary by program).
  • Semester 2 Start: Late July 2025 (typically around July 28) – Includes orientation for mid-year entrants.
  • Mid-Semester Break (Semester 2): Late September to early October 2025 (often around September 29–October 3).
  • Semester 2 Exams: Early to mid-November 2025 – Marks the end of the academic year for most students.
  • Graduation Ceremonies: Typically held in December 2025 or early 2026, varying by campus.
  • Early Entry Applications Open: May 2025 – For high school students seeking conditional offers based on predicted results.
  • Main Application Deadline: Late September 2025 (typically around September 30) – For domestic students applying through tertiary admissions centers.
  • International Student Application Deadline: Early November 2025 (approximate) – Allows time for visa processing; earlier deadlines may apply for specific programs.
  • Offer Notification (Round 1): Mid-December 2025 – Primary offers for domestic and some international applicants.
  • Final Application Deadline: Early January 2026 (approximate) – Late applications may be considered based on availability.
  • Financial Aid and Scholarship Deadline: Early December 2025 – Students are encouraged to apply early for funding opportunities.

The academic calendar at the University of Notre Dame Australia aligns closely with national norms for Australian universities, particularly in its semester structure and summer break timing, which corresponds to major public holidays like Christmas and New Year’s. This schedule offers flexibility for international students, with mid-year intake options in Semester 2 and intensive courses during breaks. Additionally, the university’s consideration of religious and cultural observances, such as Easter, in scheduling breaks reflects its Catholic heritage, providing a unique rhythm to the academic year compared to secular institutions. Students are advised to check specific program or campus calendars for variations, as dates may differ slightly between Fremantle, Broome, and Sydney.
