About the university
At Murdoch University, we’ve been committed to free-thinking since we opened our doors in 1975. We’ve created a place of learning and discovery through our leading academics, innovative courses and ground-breaking research. We pioneered access to a university education for people from diverse backgrounds and are proud to see our students take their Murdoch education into the world to solve its challenges.
We are a research-intensive institution and a member of Innovative Research Universities Australia. We have been awarded the highest possible ranking by the Australian Research Council for our research in Physical Chemistry, Environmental Science and Management, Zoology, Agricultural Biotechnology, Clinical Sciences, and Medical Microbiology, and 81% of our research disciplines are assessed as world standard or higher. Our world-leading research is informing leaders and nurturing innovation in tackling the most pressing regional and global challenges.
With more than 25,000 students and 1,700 staff from across 90 countries, we are proud to be recognised for the impact that our graduates and researchers have made – both in Western Australia and around the world. We are also proud to be one of the top 100 universities in the world under 50 years old in the Young University Rankings 2019.
Our University provides everything you would expect from a world-class institution, including leading academics, world-changing research, state-of-the-art teaching facilities, specialised support services and a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses. We believe that creativity powers change and strive to be the place where new ways of thinking can be found. We won’t tell you what to think – instead we give you the support, skills and opportunities to forge your own path.
We provide an innovative and welcoming learning environment where you’ll be surrounded by some of the world’s most progressive thinkers. We go above and beyond to provide our students with support services that can help at every stage of their Murdoch journey, which is reinforced by our five-star rankings for student support, teaching quality and overall student experience by The Good Universities Guide 2020 and our 90% overall satisfaction rate for the international student experience by the 2019 International Student Barometer.
As one of the largest university campuses in Australia, our Perth campus boasts more than 227 hectares of beautiful bush environment, providing our students with the ultimate Australian experience as they study alongside a range of native Australian flora and fauna. Our campus is just 15 minutes from both Perth CBD and the historic port city of Fremantle and has on-campus accommodation available.
As a forward-thinking University with an international reputation and a wealth of expertise, Murdoch University is a top choice for a world-class degree.
