Murdoch University Dubai
About the university
Murdoch University Dubai is the international campus of Murdoch University, a research-intensive institution located in Perth, Western Australia. Founded in 2008 in Dubai International Academic City, we relocated to the central area of the notable Dubai Knowledge Park in May 2020. Our dynamic, newly constructed campus in Dubai Knowledge Park spans 2,500 square meters over two storeys, making it double the size of our previous location. It includes premier amenities, such as a specialized cybersecurity laboratory equipped with bespoke systems, educationally-oriented furnishings, and 'touchdown' breakout areas designed to foster a collaborative teaching and learning atmosphere.
The campus is licensed by the Dubai Government's regulatory body, the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA). The Australian government's national quality assurance and regulatory body for higher education, the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards body (TEQSA), also oversees it. This dual governmental control guarantees the utmost quality in foreign education.
