Thinking Otherwise: The University That Values the "Student Voice
Murdoch University stands on Whadjuk Noongar Country and has a long history of “thinking
otherwise”. It was one of the first Australian universities to offer flexible entry, and it remains a leader
in practical, hands-on learning across disciplines like veterinary science and chiropractic care.
State-of-the-Art Practical Facilities
Murdoch’s campuses are equipped with real-world facilities that go beyond the standard classroom. These include a real veterinary clinic, fully equipped TV and radio studios, and a world-class law moot court. For journalism students, the opportunity to work in major Perth newsrooms like the ABC or Seven is built into their experience.
Career Development for All
Unlike many institutions that offer career support as an “extra,” Murdoch embeds career development learning in all bachelor degrees that aren’t already aligned with professional accreditation. This ensures that every student, regardless of their major, is building employability skills from day one.
Small Classes, Big Support
Students like Jasmin highlight that Murdoch’s small class sizes and supportive faculty mean they are “never lost in the crowd”. This personalized approach, combined with a focus on “entrepreneurial attitude” and “critical thinking,” allows students to thrive in a “blended learning” format.
Takeaway
In a world that often treats students like numbers, is there a greater luxury than a
university that ensures you are never “lost in the crowd”?.
