Education at Murdoch University is about creating opportunities for its students' futures. The admissions policy is flexible and provides alternative entry paths for students from non-traditional academic backgrounds.

Description and accommodation Perth

 
 
PerthWestern Australia is famous for its brilliant blue skies, warm sunny climate and white sandy beaches. The Australian state covers one-third of the Australian continent, spanning over 2.5 million square kilometres [1 million square miles] and several different climatic zones. This land is blessed with some of the world’s most precious natural phenomena including the dolphins of Monkey Mia, the 350-million-year-old Bungle Bungle range and the towering karri forests of the South West.

Perth, the capital city of the State, is home to the Murdoch University and to to 1.5 million people and enjoys more hours of sunshine than any other capital city in Australia. The South Street campus is located just 11 minutes by train from the city centre or 20 minutes by car.

The city of Perth sits on the Swan River, where residents enjoy fishing, windsurfing, sailing or simply relaxing with friends for a barbecue in the sun. There are wineries, beaches and bushland within easy reach of the city, and a cosmopolitan mix of cafes, restaurants, pubs and thriving nightlife in the city centre. Summers are long and hot so the locals take advantage of this by visiting one of the many beaches in the metropolitan area.

The Murdoch University Village is a friendly residential community. It is conveniently located right on the University’s main campus with classrooms, lecture theatres, the library and other University facilities just a five minute walk away.

Due to overwhelming demand, Murdoch University Village is set to unveil almost 300 brand new rooms in time for semester 1, 2009.
