Making the switch to Murdoch University could not be easier.
In fact, you can apply now to start your Murdoch degree in 2024!
We understand that your university experience is a big commitment. Whether you’ve changed your mind about your career path, found your course isn’t what you expected, need more flexible study options, or want a better student experience – Murdoch could be the start of the next chapter in your university journey.
Transferring to Murdoch is easy! Simply choose your course and complete your application online. From there, we’ll be in touch if you’re eligible for credit you’ve earned at another institution and to support you through the onboarding process.
You can apply for Semester One until Thursday 22 February, 2024.
Applications for Semester Two are also now open and you can speak to our team about transferring your credits.
If you have any questions along the way, please get in touch with us – we’re here to help!
You can apply to transfer to Murdoch at any time. For 2024, applications for Semester Two are open and you can speak to our team about transferring your credits. Find out more about key dates.
One semester is the minimum. On the other end of the spectrum, you must transfer within the final year with no less than one semester of your studies left.
We accept applications from students at accredited institutions across Australia and overseas.
Generally up to two weeks, depending on the volume of applicants and the amount of study you have already completed.
As part of your application, please provide your official academic transcript and award certificate, as well as a detailed unit outline or course syllabus so we can assess your eligibility for recognition of prior learning. You can request these documents from your current institution.
While you can apply for any Murdoch course, some courses and units have quotas or other restrictions. We recommend speaking to our friendly student support team to find out more.
If you receive an offer for Murdoch, congratulations! You’ll need to accept this offer and enrol in your units, but we’ll let you know all of this in your offer letter. This is also a good time to withdraw from your old course – make sure you do this before the census date of your previous institution.
Students are understandably reluctant to disclose that they have failed a unit (or more), but this is not something that will make you an undesirable applicant. At Murdoch, our philosophy is to assess people based on their potential. We may ask you to outline what has happened and we’ll help you access tailored support. If we can see you have the initiative, there is a good chance of being accepted into your desired course.
