Murdoch University
Murdoch University was established in 1974 and named after prominent Australian author and philosopher Sir Walter Murdoch and officially opened on the 100th anniversary of his birth. The University was the first in the nation to offer a new, flexible admission system. This made tertiary education more accessible to the community, a commitment that Murdoch University has continued to this day. As the second university in WA, Murdoch 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. Our vision is to be widely recognised as the university of choice for people who care, who value inclusion, curiosity and innovation and who desire to make a positive social impact. We strive to be a leading university in education, teaching and research in sustainability and a thriving, welcoming, diverse and inclusive community that welcomes everyone.
