About Murdoch University

What Murdoch University is all about

Murdoch University has, from its foundation in 1974, been a university of difference. Established as the second university in WA, Murdoch University has always been associated with environment and conservation, social justice and inclusion, and providing pathways into and through a university education for people who had previously been excluded. Murdoch University embraces what’s brighter in everyone, then helps spread that brightness so our community can flourish. In a world that craves connections more than ever before, it needs a place and people that are making it brighter. And that place is here.

Careers Expo recap 📚

We loved connecting with future students and chatting about where their ambitions could take them at Murdoch University. One of the biggest highlights was our custom t-shirt activation featuring artwork by @barryp which quickly became a crowd favourite!

It was an incredible four days. Thanks to everyone who stopped by, we can't wait to see where your future takes you.

Running from class to class, juggling assignments, trying to keep up with everything… we get it!

Did you know there are spaces across campus designed to help you recharge in between classes? Enjoy a quick workout at Murdoch Active, soak up the sunshine in the Chinese Garden or cuddle some furry friends at The Den. 

Because your wellbeing deserves a spot on your timetable too 💭

We are committed to providing an accessible campus and welcome feedback from people with lived experience of disability.

The stair-mounted lift chairs that were previously installed across campus were removed because they were unreliable, difficult to maintain and could not provide the consistent, safe access that students, staff and visitors require.

There are alternative ways to navigate the campus with confidence, including an accessible route from Discovery Way into Bush Court via Boola Katitjin (Building 360), which we recommend students, staff and visitors to campus utilise.

However, we are also aware that more accessibility improvements are needed, given the campus has steep and sloping sections that can be difficult to traverse, and these are being planned as part of the University’s Campus Development Plan.

Murdoch is committed to ensuring our campus is accessible for all, and we apologise for the inconvenience experienced by this particular visitor to campus. Our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion team has also reached out to her to discuss her concerns.

We recognise that our campus can be challenging to navigate for people with reduced mobility.
 
We wish to remind students and visitors who are accessing our campus from Discovery Way that the most accessible route to the heart of the University - including Bush Court - is via Boola Katitjin (Building 360).
