Murdoch has developed a set of nine Graduate Attributes to help you participate positively and effectively in society and throughout your employment. To better meet the needs of both students and industry we have integrated these into our undergraduate curriculum.
We've broken these attributes down into sub-attributes to help you understand the skills needed for each. You will have the opportunity to develop these attributes, no matter which course you choose to study.
