What can we do for you?

Here at Murdoch University our Student Centre team is your first port of call for any information you may need. The Student Centre offers a range of services including:

  • School Presentations
    Whether you need a Year 10 or 12 presentation or university talk for a parent night, even if you need a generic university talk that covers information that all the universities have in common, just book one in.  We are also happy to attend Careers Expos to provide advice on course and career options, as well as admission information.
  • University tours
    You are most welcome to bring your students onto campus to see what university is all about. Aside from university exam periods we are open to visitors almost all year round and can organise tours of the grounds as well as specific teaching areas.
  • Counselling
    Our Admissions Counsellors are available to you and your students for individual and group counselling sessions, both on campus and at school.

Headstart

The HEADSTART program enables capable Year 11 and 12 students to participate in university units on the same basis as undergrad students at Murdoch University. Students attend lectures; participate in tutorials, workshops and seminars; have the use of our extensive Murdoch Library and online resources for study; and of course complete the normal assessments and examinations. The units can be included in the students WA Certificate of Education (WACE), although they cannot be used towards the calculation of an ATAR. On successful admission to Murdoch University the completed units will be credited towards the student’s degree. Headstart details and nomination form.

If these options don’t cover what you need, please email Richard Jones or call him on 9360 7298 and we can design something for your students needs.

Events

We hold a series of events to help support your students as they plan for their futures, ranging from employment outcome focused Career Information Evenings, to Be a Uni Student for a Day and of course, our annual Open Day.
