What do you think of when you think of Murdoch?

At Murdoch, we’re perhaps best-known for our Veterinary Science school, our Chiropractic clinic, having the largest campus grounds in Australia and our commitment to building a sustainable future. These features are all an important part of who we are – but they’re just parts of the bigger picture.

Murdoch is a place where freethinkers come to succeed. As one of our Faculty Deans phrased it:

“People come to us because they have certain qualities which make up the raw potential for being an effective and engaged citizen, showing understanding and concern, and following philosophies that allow them to get the most out of life.”

It takes many types of thinking to make a difference in the world.

Our Murdoch community of staff and students share stories, pool their knowledge and find new ways of thinking.
Our community includes:

  • Visionary thinkers, who find opportunities in everything and can explore different ways of making the seemingly impossible happen.
    Our scientists, for example, are making amazing discoveries, including new ways to treat HIV.

  • Creative thinkers, who use the imaginative powers of the mind to explore approaches that others might not consider,
    such as investigating a connection between native plants and climate change.

  • Practical thinkers, who value practical solutions and look at what can be done with what already exists.
    Our Psychology team, for example, have found a way to use online technology to offer face-to-face counselling in remote communities.

  • Compassionate thinkers who enjoy enriching people's lives and will tend to focus on the community impact of an issue when finding solutions, such as through our work with genocide survivor groups and other agencies in Rwanda.
