Overview
Murdoch University is a public university in Perth, Western Australia, with campuses also in Singapore and Dubai. It began operations as the state’s second university in July 1973, and accepted its first undergraduate students in 1975. Its name is taken from Sir Walter Murdoch (1874–1970), the Founding Professor of English and former Chancellor of the University of Western Australia. Murdoch is a verdant university and a member of the Innovative Research Universities.
Murdoch bachelor degrees help students establish the right foundations in their first year and have the essential knowledge to extend into further study. The university offers a wide range of majors within seven undergraduate disciplines.
Murdoch follows a unique undergraduate degree framework which is structured around four key elements – transition to university, research skills, breadth of knowledge, and depth of knowledge. Entry requirements are divided into two categories, pathway options for school leavers and pathway options for non-school leavers.
Murdoch University provides support services to assist overseas students, and promote overseas student needs throughout the University. Pre-departure guidance is the first step that the university has undertaken to safeguard international students. This includes information on organizing student visa, Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC), airport arrival and organizing accommodation in Perth with Murdoch University Village.
Murdoch acknowledges that arriving in a new city can be quite daunting for a new student. To assist students, the Murdoch International Student Support Team has created a short guide on the different transportation options available from the Perth International and Domestic Airport Terminals. Once students arrive, they’ll take part in a week-long comprehensive university orientation that will prepare them for study and life at Murdoch University. More importantly, Murdoch offers financial aid and scholarships for international students.
The annual undergraduate tuition fees are $27,867 for business courses, $27,806 for Arts/Education, and $31,065 for Engineering/Science.
Murdoch is committed to provide students with different scholarships to help student while they study their undergraduate and postgraduate degrees. These scholarships support students by covering part of their tuition fees or providing them with stipends. A number of international scholarships are also awarded based on academic performance and financial need.
Aside from all these, the university also has the Australia Awards, which are prestigious international scholarships and fellowships program funded by the Australian government that aim to contribute to the long term development needs of Australia’s partner countries, in line with bilateral and regional agreements.
