National recognition of our excellence in learning and teaching

The Learning and Teaching Performance Fund is an Australian Government initiative to recognize and support excellence in universities. Murdoch University is currently ranked as one of Australia’s top learning and teaching universities.

The purpose of the fund is to reward higher education providers that best demonstrate excellence in learning and teaching.
In 2008, we received funding of $1.7million from the 2008 Learning and Teaching Performance Fund (LTPF) based on our performance in measures of:

• Student satisfaction
• Student progress
• Graduate outcomes

Murdoch is one of only 12 universities to have received funding through the LTPF in each of the three years since its commencement. Since 2006, Murdoch has received a total of $7.0 million from the LTPF.

Student satisfaction

We're committed to providing our students with a rewarding and challenging experience during their studies. Our focus on developing valuable practical skills allows students to study business in China, practice chiropractic science in India and make a difference in countless communities around the world.

We have received a five-star rating from the Good Universities Guide for graduate satisfaction 13 times in 16 years. In 2008 we received a four-star rating in graduate outcomes, which indicates how our graduates are attractive to prospective employers.
