          Our forward-thinking
          students are answering
          tomorrow’s questions,
          today. Are you ready to
          join them?
          Murdoch provides everything
          you would expect from a world-
          class university, including leading
          academics, world-changing
          research, excellent facilities and
          a wide range of courses.
          We believe that creativity powers
          change and strive to be the place
          where new ways of thinking can
          be found. We won’t tell you what
          to think—instead we give you the
          support, skills and opportunities to
          forge your own path.
          Murdoch provides an innovative and
          welcoming learning environment
          where you’ll be surrounded by some of
          the world’s most progressive thinkers.
          These are people who are not just
          challenging conventional wisdom and
          tackling the world’s big questions, but
          also finding answers.
          Over the next section of this guide,
          explore all Murdoch courses, find out
          about entry requirements and discover
          what careers you can pursue.

          EXPAND YOUR EXPERTISE
          You can choose one or two
          majors for most courses, or
          combine two degrees.
          Specialising in two areas will
          expand your expertise, broaden
          your career options and give you
          a competitive edge in your career.
          For example, you could study a
          Bachelor of Business with majors
          in Accounting and Finance as a
          double major, or a Bachelor of Laws
          and a Bachelor of Criminology as
          a combined degree. Depending
          on what you choose to study, a
          double major won’t necessarily take
          any longer than a single major to
          complete, but a combined degree
          will take an extra year or two,
          compared to a single degree.

     I chose to study the Bachelor of Business because I have
always been passionate about numbers and the way share
markets and money are managed. To me, understanding how
to analyse and predict situations with the use of numbers is one
of the most integral parts of today’s society. Learning how to
manage and interpret accounts and financial statements for
companies is one of my favourite parts about my degree.

     I am a lover of listening and making music. I’ve started
to learn multiple instruments, but I’m most passionate about
the drums. I was disappointed that I didn’t receive the ATAR I
had hoped for in Year 12, and therefore applied for Murdoch
through the OnTrack enabling pathway. Prior to coming
to Murdoch, I wanted to study a degree in Commerce, but
through OnTrack I discovered my passion for Creative Arts.
As soon as I started at Murdoch I fell in love with the culture
and the method of teaching Murdoch offered. I was
overwhelmed by the support available to me.

Engineering
              After studying at two other Perth universities, I chose to study
         at Murdoch because of the friendly vibe on campus. The Murdoch
         culture is about community, teamwork and helping each other out. The
         engineering courses offered at Murdoch are in line with the future of
         industry. Unlike other universities, Murdoch is focussed on preparing us
         for what the industry will be, not what it currently is. My main interest was
         in renewable energy engineering as caring for the environment is one
         of my core values. I decided to add electrical power engineering to my
         degree as I felt that both majors went hand in hand.

Having never heard about Chiropractic Science before starting           +61 8 9360 6063 • murdoch.edu.au/study
at Murdoch, I transferred degrees and I am now working towards
becoming a Chiropractor myself. Although I am the only international
student from mainland China in my course, I have never felt lonely or
isolated. All my classmates and the staff members here are so kind
and they’re always ready to help me with any questions or issues I
have. There are always a lot of interesting activities going on at the
university, such as various festivals, Thursday markets and volunteering
opportunities; which all help me to enjoy the multicultural life here.
Being a volunteer for the school Open Day was definitely a gorgeous
and unforgettable experience. Not only does helping others bring me a
lot of joy, but I felt so proud when introducing my university to others.
