Murdoch University Dubai is a branch campus of Murdoch University, one of Australia’s emerging research universities, which is based in Perth, Western Australia. Established in 2007 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.
