 Established in 1973 as a research university, Murdoch is a modern, progressive institution, committed to flexible, multi-disciplinary study. With a student population of 13,000, Murdoch is small enough to support excellent staff student relations, yet large enough to provide state-of-the-art facilities, excellent student services and an extensive range of academic programs. With approximately 2,000 international students from over 65 different countries, the University is a vibrant and cosmopolitan institution that is benefiting from its strong commitment to international education. 
Murdoch University provides a wonderful opportunity to experience an Australia little known to international students and travelers. Students can enjoy the café strip in Fremantle or explore the natural environment; from the sparkling, pristine beaches of the South, to the rugged and remote ‘outback’ of the Kimberleys in the far North. The university also organizes a 10-day camping expedition in remote Western Australia. There are several food outlets, two banking outlets, a fully equip gymnasium, a student union, travel centre, hairdresser, bookshop, gift store, health and counseling service, career service, worship centre, extensive library and an optometrist on-campus. cricos 00125J Semester or Year Abroad at Murdoch University Degree Programs at Murdoch University Coral Bay: Marine Science on Australia's West Coast - Summer Short Term Program Wanju Boodjah: Aboriginal Studies in Western Australia - Summer Short Term Program |
