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.
The main campus in Perth, Western Australia, accommodates approximately 23,000 students and 2,500 staff from almost 100 countries, offering more than 200 undergraduate and postgraduate courses across a diverse array of fields and professions. Over the last 50 years, Murdoch University has established a worldwide reputation for the excellence of its teaching and research as it has developed and evolved.
Murdoch University Dubai offers a double major option, enabling the integration of two distinct courses into a comprehensive education, without prolonging your university tenure and at the expense of a single degree. We were among the pioneering institutions in the UAE to provide double major options across all undergraduate programs.
