Are you considering postgrad study at Murdoch University? That’s an exciting next step to explore. Postgrad study is a great opportunity to grow, develop your skills, and set yourself up for success with the goals you want to achieve.

We understand that many returning students are balancing much more than coursework. Family commitments, financial responsibilities, and jobs that require ongoing attention are all part of the postgrad journey, which is where our student support services come in.

Explore the wide range of academic, social and life services available to help postgrad students like yourself feel supported along the way.

Postgrad support: academics and study assistance

At Murdoch we pride ourselves on strong support and guidance for our students. Here are just some of the things you can access:

• We offer flexible study options for our postgrads, including condensed contact periods.
• Wondering how other postgrads did it? You can ask them yourself! Murdoch University’s Peer Academic Coaches are successful students who offer free, individualised consultations for their peers.
• Our friendly and approachable lecturers and tutors are a great resource. Chat to them for advice, or discuss topics, career paths or assignments, and even enquire about potential internships or references.
• If you’ve been away from formal study for a while, it’s only natural it’ll take a little while to get back into the groove. If you feel you are struggling, there are a range of in-person and online workshops available to help.
• Take advantage of our mentoring services. For example, we have a program where you can have the opportunity to be mentored by a leader within your industry.
• Launchpad is an exciting platform where you can connect and collaborate with others to turn your thoughts and ideas into real-world solutions.
• Are you a parent? There are facilities and opportunities for our student parents, including a parents’ room where you can study while your child plays safely in an enclosed space nearby. Learn more about bringing your child on campus.

Postgrad support: life and fun

Although uni might feel a tad different from when you were an undergrad, there’s still plenty of opportunity to socialise and have fun while you study.

• Our campus is home to a wide range of clubs and societies to suit various interests. Not only will you meet likeminded people, these groups are also a great way to let off steam, enjoy a hobby, and feel part of the Murdoch University community.
• Boola Katitjin and the Student Hub are *the* meeting place for students. Centrally located on campus, these venues are a great meeting spot for chats with your classmates over lunch or coffee.
• For those into fitness, join the campus gym, book a space at one of our sporting facilities, or drop in for a casual team game of mixed netball or three-on-three basketball.
• There are counselling services and a range of other wellbeing resources designed to help students - personally, academically, and culturally - throughout their studies.
• Full of nature and with a relaxed pace, Murdoch University’s unique bush campus is often highlighted as a favourite feature by both domestic and international students.
