Murdoch University Dubai is a branch campus of Murdoch University, one of the country’s research-intensive universities based in Perth, Western Australia. Established in 2008 in Dubai International Academic City, we moved to the heart of the impressive Dubai Knowledge Park in May 2020. Our vibrant new purpose-built campus in Dubai Knowledge Park, at 2500 sq metres over two levels, is twice as large as our former home. It features world-class facilities, including a dedicated cybersecurity lab with custom-built systems, education-focused furniture, and ‘touchdown’ breakout spaces to promote a collaborative teaching and learning environment.
The campus is licenced by the Dubai Government regulator, Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA). It is also regulated from Australia by the Australian government’s national quality assurance and regulatory agency for higher education, Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA). This double government-level oversight assures you of the highest quality international education.
From the origin of Murdoch as a free-thinking university to a global centre for learning, teaching, research, and industry, we have always stuck to our purpose. We continue to be a place of inclusive education, supported by our principles and guided by our strategic plan.
Some things about Murdoch University you may want to know if you have decided to study here.
Our home campus in Perth, Western Australia, has more than 23,000 students and 2,500 staff from across almost 100 different countries, studying in over 200 undergraduate and postgraduate courses or majors, over a comprehensive range of disciplines and professions. Murdoch University has earned an international reputation for the quality of its teaching and research over the past 50 years, as it has grown and matured.
Our flexible learning options are tailored to allow you to design your course of study in accordance with your own personal requirements.

Regardless of whether you are a foundation program student or an undergraduate or postgraduate student, the quality of the teachers and the programs on offer are world-class, skills-focused and globally relevant.
