Murdoch University

At Murdoch University, we’ve been committed to free-thinking since our inception in the 60’s. The university is named in honour of esteemed author, philosopher and academic Sir Walter Murdoch. 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 to the world to solve its challenges. Throughout this journey we’ve remained committed to adapting and growing in our free-thinking. In this way, we continue to be a creative force for education and research, we have never lost sight of our purpose.

With more than 23,000 students and 1,700 staff from across 90 different countries, we are proud to be recognised for the impact that our free-thinking graduates, life-changing research, and innovative campus and industry developments have made – both in Western Australia and around the world.

Murdoch is a place where business, industry, research, students, alumni and the broader community come together to learn, innovate, and collaborate.
