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 licensed 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.
As of 9 January 2025, Murdoch University Dubai has also been granted Institutional Licensure by the Commission for Academic Accreditation (CAA) under the UAE’s Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research (MOHESR). The MOHESR accreditation process consists of two stages. The first, Institutional Licensure, which we have successfully achieved, validates the university’s overall compliance with rigorous quality standards. The second stage, programme accreditation, is currently underway to ensure each academic offering meets the same high standards.
This federal UAE licensure recognises our commitment to maintaining the highest academic standards and excellence and further solidifies Murdoch University Dubai’s reputation as a globally respected institution. With our TEQSA accreditation, and KHDA and CAA-MOHESR licensure, we continue to provide students with a world-class education recognised, accredited and valued both locally and internationally. As we enhance our academic offerings and reputation, we remain dedicated to shaping future leaders and innovators.
