Murdoch University
Overview
Established in 1973 as a research university, Murdoch is a modern, progressive institution, committed to flexible, multi-disciplinary study. With a student population of 19,000, Murdoch supports excellent staff-student relations and provides state-of-the-art facilities, excellent student services, and an extensive range of academic programs. Murdoch University has developed important links with universities throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, and Southeast Asia. With approximately 3,000 international students from over 90 different countries, the University is a vibrant and cosmopolitan institution that is benefiting from its strong commitment to international education.
Location
Perth, the capital of Western Australia, is home to 1.6 million people and enjoys more hours of sunshine than any capital city in Australia. Perth is a safe, friendly, and inexpensive city that is large enough to be exciting and cosmopolitan, yet small enough to offer a friendly and relaxed lifestyle.
Perth was recently voted the 8th most liveable city in the world according to the Economist magazine's global liveability survey.
Academic Highlights
The study abroad program at Murdoch University is designed to give international students the opportunity to spend one or two semesters of their undergraduate degree in Perth, transferring their credit to their home institution. As a study abroad student you will have a wide choice of subjects across over 90 disciplines offered on campus, enabling you not only to meet the subject requirements of your home institution but also to deepen or broaden your educational experience by study subjects not available to you at home.
Guaranteed Housing
GlobaLinks learning Abroad students are guaranteed pre-arranged accommodation at Murdoch. There are a variety of housing options available which you will apply for after acceptance. Options include pre-arranged accommodations without meals and housing arranged upon arrival by student.
About GlobaLinks Learning Abroad Programs
GlobaLinks Learning Abroad programs are created with individual student's goals in mind. Our programs are built around a unique Discovery Model which is delivered by our amazing staff, both in the U.S. and overseas. Our Discovery Model provides every student with an individualized experience through discovery in 5 key areas: personal, academic, cultural, social, and professional. Our North American staff counsels each student through the application and enrollment process, and our on-site Resident Coordinators set up a calendar of activities for students related to each area of discovery. These activities are more than just tourist excursions, and include opportunities like networking events, local festivals, gallery openings, and other similar events that you can't find in a travel book.
GlobaLinks Learning Abroad programs include everything you would expect in a study abroad program: guaranteed housing, 24-hour in-country support, an in-country multi-day orientation program, comprehensive pre-departure services, excursions, and discovery activities to make the most out of each student's experience. Students of all majors are welcome to apply and scholarships are available.
