About scholarships
Murdoch was created as a research university and since its establishment in 1975 it has earned and maintained a strong reputation for the excellence of its research work.
To assist international students to join Murdoch’s vibrant postgraduate programs both in coursework and research the university has created a number of scholarship opportunities in conjunction with the Australian government. Undergraduate scholarships are available through the Australian Government Scholarships scheme.
Postgraduate options
