Program Overview

Program Description:

As a Study Abroad student at Murdoch, you will have a wide choice of subjects across the disciplines offered here on campus, enabling the transfer of credit to your home institution by choosing required subjects by your home University or allowing you to deepen or broaden your educational experience by studying subjects not available to you at home. 

If you decide Murdoch is for you and want to apply, we will assist you in providing information on our subjects for your University and Advisors necessary to help assist in the credit evaluation process.  

As part of your Study Abroad semester, you will also take part in our comprehensive social program which is just for our Study Abroad and Exchange students so that you can really make the most of your time here in Perth. We organise many activities such as day trips, BBQ’s, movies nights and so on. We also organise a 10-Day camping expedition in remote Western Australia, which truly is a unique experience. This fun-filled bus trip, to the rugged North West of Western Australia, covers close to 4,000 kilometres or 2,500 miles across plains of wild flowers and the vast outcrop that is outback Australia. On this trip you will meet the dolphins at Monkey Mia in the Shark Bay World Heritage Area, visit Ningaloo Reef, home to some 500 species of fish, and hike the spectacular gorges of Karijini National Park.

As well as our social program, we have dedicated staff here at Murdoch who will assist you with any questions and ensure you are best prepared before your departure, supported during your semester and farewelled on your departure back home.
