Award titles and abbreviations

Every course at Murdoch University has an award title and abbreviation, which can be used to denote the qualification achieved after study. On this page you will find a listing of all Murdoch University awards, current and historical, and recommended award abbreviations.

Award abbreviations refer to the award only and do not include components of a course such as majors, co-majors or minors. If you have completed a combined course, list the award abbreviations for each award. Do not use punctuation or other characters to separate them.

By convention, when writing post-nominals you should list your highest degree first. The accepted institutional abbreviation for Murdoch University is Murd (italicised), e.g. BNurs Murd
