Building a brighter future, together

Since opening our doors in 1974, Murdoch University has been committed to making education accessible to all. Our new Strategy reaffirmed our purpose, focusing on three strategic themes, and three core activities. Our journey has seen us become a leading voice in conservation science, a place that encourages diversity and acknowledges the wrongs of the past, to support a more inclusive and equitable future. It’s why we are committed to building a brighter future, together.

Our journey to a sustainable future

 

Murdoch University has led environmental science for 50 years, shaping the way we live and work. A sustainable mindset is embedded in everything we do, our researchers and academics believe sustainability is a vital life skill and utilise our campus, which is a bio-diverse hotspot, as a living laboratory to help drive positive change.

Our journey to an equitable future

As the first university in Australia to introduce a flexible admissions system that considered factors beyond academic results, Murdoch remains committed to making education accessible for all.  We empower diverse voices with unique perspectives, to help us find solutions to societal challenges. 

First choice for First Nations People  

At Murdoch, we believe that change happens when you acknowledge the wrongs of the past and support Aboriginal people.  From our first inaugural Aboriginal graduate in 1982 to the hundreds behind her – still more than any other Western Australian university, we remain committed to being the first choice for First Nations people.
