Bonjour. Hola. Hallo. Ciao. Hello. The exchange of greetings in multiple languages means international students are on campus.
More than 100 international students from 34 countries, in fact. The new group includes freshmen, transfer and exchange students who join our community from countries in Europe, South America, and Africa and the Middle East, among others.
Living and learning with international students is one way to broaden a student's cultural perspective. Another way is get out of your comfort zone and study abroad.
And with 19 partner universities in 14 countries, St. Edward’s University provides students with plenty of opportunities. During the past academic year, new international partnerships were established in Australia, Switzerland, Taiwan and Italy:
University of Notre Dame Australia, in Fremantle, Broome and Sydney
Founded in 1989 through the Act of the Parliament of Western Australia, Notre Dame is a leader higher education with more than 11,000 students enrolled across three campuses in Fremantle, Sydney and Broome.
