Description: With approximately 1,500 international students from more than 50 different countries, Murdoch University is a vibrant and cosmopolitan institution that is benefiting from its strong commitment to international education. Enrolling at Murdoch University offers the most highly qualified academic staff in Australia with more than 70 percent of its teaching staff holding a doctorate. Murdoch is located 10 miles southwest of the city of Perth and 5 miles from the cosmopolitan port city of Fremantle in the residential suburb of Murdoch. The natural bushland setting of Murdoch University makes it an ideal place to study and make friends. Peaceful courtyards separate the buildings and are beautifully landscaped with native Australian shrubs and trees.

Study Australia offers students the chance to travel throughout Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji before heading to their host campus. These optional trips provide the comfort of a group atmosphere along with trained guides from highly reputable tour providers that specialize in student travel.

Fall Semester participants can choose between two tour options. Bond University participants may join Study Australia on a 4-day Fiji Island Adventure. Other Fall semester participants can explore the Great Barrier Reef and Tropical North Queensland.

Spring Semester participants can participate on three additional pre-semester trips. Students can explore the natural wonders and extreme activities on a 7-day venture through the South Island of New Zealand. Surf through a 6-day trip from Sydney to Byron Bay stopping at some of the most pristine beaches in Australia. Explore Tropical Far North Queensland and the city of Cairns, where the reef meets the rainforest, on this 7-day trip.

Highlights: The Study Australia program includes a 5-day group orientation (for most of our sites), guaranteed, fully furnished, and prearranged housing for your entire stay, a Resident Director, and much more.

Murdoch University has an enviable reputation as one of Australia's top teaching and research universities - a reputation supported by Professor Duane Varan becoming the most recent recipient of the Federal Government's Australian University Teacher of the Year 2001 and the establishment of the United Nations Environmental Institute (one of only three in the world) on Murdoch's main campus.

Established in 1973, Murdoch University is a modern, progressive institution, committed to flexible, multidisciplinary study. With a student population of 12,000, Murdoch is small enough to support excellent staff/student relations, yet large enough to provide state-of-the-art facilities, numerous student services and an extensive range of academic programs.
