Developing expertise through professional coursework and higher degree research
 |
“At Murdoch University we aim to create leaders, innovative thinkers, and problem solvers – people capable of tackling the most pressing contemporary regional and global challenges.” |
Structured to fit into a demanding lifestyle
The curriculum, course delivery and assessment are designed to meet the needs of culturally diverse and globally mobile students. Classes are delivered in flexible formats, designed to fit into a demanding professional life, with units offered in the evenings, on weekends, or in intensive blocks. All classes are taught face-to-face in small group seminars and workshops designed to maximize the on-campus student experience.
Students are taught by leading academic staff from Murdoch University, alongside renowned visiting scholars and current practitioners from across Australia and around the world.
Each degree concludes with a ‘capstone’ experience which enables students to apply their learning to a practical issue through a policy case study project, a professional internship, or a supervised research thesis. (Successful completion of a supervised research thesis also qualifies students to apply for entry to PhD programs.)
Previous tertiary qualifications combined with relevant professional experience may also qualify you for advanced standing, meaning you could complete a Masters qualification in as little as 12 or 18 months.
