The University of Notre Dame Australia has entered into an international strategic partnership with the Institut Catholique de Paris (ICP) that would open up global opportunities for students and staff of both universities, as well as allow Notre Dame law students to pursue part of their studies in France.
“At Notre Dame we recognise the value of developing strong relationships at an international level for the benefit of our students and staff academically, as well as personally and professionally,” Notre Dame’s incoming vice chancellor Francis Campbell said.
“Partnerships like this one not only allow for the exchange of expertise in common areas of interest, but also offer students an invaluable educational experience that helps develop their skills and knowledge on a global scale.”
Notre Dame is set to launch a Master of Laws program in July 2020. Through the partnership, students enrolled in the program can complete a semester of their studies taught in English at ICP, in the heart of Paris.
In return, Notre Dame will welcome second-year students enrolled in ICP’s Master in International and European Business Law to undertake their second year of study in Australia. Apart from a Master of Laws degree with Notre Dame, these students will also qualify for the ICP Master of International and European Business Law, allowing them to graduate with dual qualifications.
“I am pleased to announce our partnership with ICP, an institution with a long history of academic excellence and one that aligns well with our own core values here at Notre Dame,” ICP pro vice chancellor international Peta Sanderson said.
“This partnership demonstrates our strategic commitment to growing international opportunities for students and staff, and to strengthening Notre Dame’s international networks.”
