Life at Murdoch
“Murdoch University was smaller than the other universities which allowed students to have much more contact with their lecturers. This was especially so in the law school with lecturers being always happy to answer questions or discuss issues.”
“Murdoch provided a great opportunity for people interested in Asian languages as it has a number of programs with universities overseas and I spent a year studying in Japan as part of my combined degree.”
“The Murdoch law school also has a strong law society which organises a lot of social events and competitions which are sponsored by a variety of law firms”.
Why Murdoch
Rohan choose to study at Murdoch because it was smaller than the other universities in Perth which allowed him to have much more contact with his lecturers.
“The fact that many of the lectures had international backgrounds meant they were able to talk to us about working as a lawyer on the international stage and not just in Australia.”
“As an international student I believe Murdoch can provide a top quality law degree as many of us who graduated from Murdoch have gone on to work in international firms as well as study at top tier universities around the world."
“The law school, whilst being a vibrant community with lots of activities, still provides a friendly and welcoming atmosphere”.
