Notre Dame Mumbai (or Notre Dame Global) offers an array of immersive opportunities that bridge the gap between India and the University of Notre Dame. These programs immerse students in India's vibrant history, dynamic economy, and diverse society while fostering personal and professional growth through courses in English, site visits, and community engagement.
Notre Dame to India Opportunities
Semester programs like the Mumbai - St. Xavier's College Semester Exchange and Ashoka University Semester Program near Delhi allow students to take courses in English across multiple disciplines while living in dynamic urban centers. Participants can explore India's historical landmarks, such as UNESCO World Heritage Sites and iconic markets, while engaging with local students and professionals.
Summer programs, such as the four-week study on Indian culture, politics, and economics, as well as professional placements through the Global Professional Experience, offer further opportunities for academic enrichment and career growth. Through these experiences, students gain invaluable insights into India's unique culture and economy, fostering both personal and professional development.
India to Notre Dame Opportunities
On the other hand, the India to Notre Dame programs, such as the Research Apprenticeship and International Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (iSURE), invite Indian students to engage in groundbreaking research alongside Notre Dame faculty and graduate students. These summer programs provide valuable hands-on research experience in fields like cancer research, robotics, and environmental sciences while allowing students to fully immerse themselves in the Notre Dame campus and culture. Both pathways offer transformative experiences that contribute to the academic, personal, and intercultural growth of all participants.
