What our students say
Jessica Seebauer USA “I will always remember the drive, passion and commitment of the academic staff members… they inspired us to serve the community and the profession with enthusiasm and integrity. Murdoch is the perfect size - small enough to be cosy and personable, but big enough to support diverse clubs and interest groups. It’s perfectly located - 10 minutes from the beach and the city”.
Daniel Gahleitner Austria Neils Becker Germany “I enjoy studying at Murdoch… the highly motivated Murdoch staff are inspiring. On top of that, I really love being part of a university that provides a wide variety of courses for students and a great teaching structure that allows students to have adequate time between studies and break.”
“I chose to come to Perth for one year, to enjoy studying in a fantastic environment of nice climate and great travel opportunities along the beautiful coastline of WA. I also met great “Aussies” and made new friends from all over the world through Murdoch community events. My study opened great professional opportunities for me… Murdoch is definitely the right choice.”

“My exchange semester at Murdoch University was truly amazing! I especially appreciated the nearness to the sea and the lovely town of Fremantle. While studying, I felt that my lecturers really had a great interest and knowledge in their fields of teaching. They also showed that they cared about their students’ professional success.”
“Murdoch’s sprawling, leafy-green campus makes you forget that you are just a little while away from the bustle of the city… the super friendly, approachable faculty makes studying easier. The primary reason I chose Murdoch was its consistent five-star rating for Graduate Satisfaction from the Good Universities Guide. I am glad I chose Murdoch ... it’s amazing how everyone fits in here.”
Nguyen Vinh Trung Vietnam “The academic experience at Murdoch has been excellent. The professors are people with great skills and knowledge and the quality of a Murdoch education is very high. The enthusiasm of other students as well as my Professors has made me even more motivated in my study.”
Wichan Khonthothong Thailand “I like the atmosphere at Murdoch because the local students are very friendly. Murdoch University is looking after international students well and the facilities here are very modern. I have found Murdoch to be the best university for me and I’m sure that the qualification I’m working towards will allow me to get a good job in the future.”
Daniel Wilson Zimbabwe “Murdoch is fantastic in that their degrees are flexible… it is very reassuring to know if you get into the course and find you don’t enjoy it quite as much as you thought you would, you still have a number of options and can slip seamlessly into an area or field more suited to your enjoyment or strengths.”
Songhua Shan P.R. China “The university provides a range of quality services such as training in English, computer (including poster and powerpoint) and academic research skills, individually-oriented management, a ‘relaxed’ learning, interactive environment and multicultural atmosphere. When I graduate, I will not only have an internationally recognised degree but also gain a different and global perspective.”
Ahmad Taufik Indonesia
Singapore “When I decided to study overseas, Murdoch was the first university I thought of, as it has an excellent reputation for educational standards and quality. The atmosphere and staff in Murdoch are welcoming and pleasant. Lecturers and Division Heads are more than willing to help you in whatever way they can. I am proud to be a student of Murdoch!”

This State is famed for its brilliant blue skies, warm sunny climate and white sandy beaches. It is a land blessed with some of the world’s most precious natural phenomena including the dolphins of Monkey Mia, the 350-million-year-old Bungle Bungle range and the towering Karri forests of the SouthWest. Perth, the capital city of the State, is home to 1.6 million people and enjoys more hours of sunshine than any other capital city in Australia. Sophisticated yet uncomplicated, the lifestyle is relaxed and based outdoors.

The city sits on the Swan River, where residents enjoy fishing, windsurfing, sailing or simply relaxing with friends for a barbecue in the sun. There are wineries, beaches and bushland within easy reach of the city, and a cosmopolitan mix of cafes, restaurants, pubs and thriving nightlife in the city centre.
Perth is a sister city to San Diego, and the people of Perth enjoy a cosmopolitan outdoor lifestyle due to the fact that the climate is one of the best in the world! Summers are long and warm, so the locals take advantage

In downtown Perth city, a large shopping district offers a wide variety of cafes, restaurants, upscale boutiques, department stores, Australiana and duty free shops for you to enjoy. Out of the downtown area, the suburbs also provide excellent shopping, especially in the open-air markets on weekends. You might like to take a cruise up Perth’s Swan River to the wineries for a delicious lunch, or explore Kings Park, a preserved bushland area five minutes from downtown Perth. Bicycle riding is a great way to get around, as the city has bicycle routes from the city, around the river, to Fremantle and the beach.
The port city of Fremantle (nicknamed ‘Freo’), which is just 10 minutes by bus from Murdoch University, has a rich mix of cultural diversity and maritime history. Fremantle was made famous during the 1987 America’s Cup and has retained much of its old-world charm with Victorian and Edwardian architecture. Residents and travellers alike visit Fremantle to enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of the markets, entertainment and restaurants. Travelling around Perth by train and bus is very simple, and Murdoch University is accessible by both. In fact, Murdoch Station is just an 11-minute train ride from the Perth City centre.

Tshering Dorji Master of Science in Renewable Energy Bhutan Tshering Dorji is from Bhutan and is currently completing his Master degree in Renewable Energy at Murdoch. Tshering was one of the recipients of the prestigious Australian Leadership Award Scholarship in 2008. Tshering says the Masters program in Renewable Energy at Murdoch is the only one in the Asia PaciďŹ c region which exclusively focuses on renewable energy. “Before coming to Australia, I had done a lot of research on universities in Asia and Europe and found the course at Murdoch to be much better in terms of the content and coverage than most other universities. Upon reaching here, I was not surprised that most of my class mates were international studentsâ€?. In future, Tshering plans to work for international NGOs or multilateral organizations to promote renewable energy in developing countries. He says, “The Masters program at Murdoch has given me the desire, conďŹ dence and skills to work towards making a difference in the lives of people in developing countriesâ€?.

Career prospects
t 5VJUJPO GFF 3FGFS UP QBHF
Job prospects for psychologists are very good; employment growth is expected to be strong following recent government initiatives. On graduation from this course, students will be highly employable in a wide variety of areas, including private practice as a registered psychologist and working in various public and private sector agencies in areas such as health, community development, justice, education and disabilities.
This course is offered to students wishing to combine professional training at Masters level in Clinical or Organisational Psychology with compatible research at the PhD level. It combines a thorough professional training in the chosen area of specialisation with the high level of research training associated with doctoral-level studies. The combined program allows students to fulďŹ l the requirements of both the Masters degree and the PhD. Students who have a strong academic record, demonstrating particular strength in the area of research, may be considered for this program. Candidates will normally complete the full ďŹ rst year of the Masters program before going on to enrol in the PhD for the second, third and fourth years. Combined program students are exempted from the Masters thesis requirement and if entering after the 1st year Masters, students can complete a 12-point external placement unit concurrently with the PhD commitment. Whilst candidates are advised to complete the ďŹ rst year Masters program in advance of beginning the PhD, it is possible to begin with the latter. There are two specialisations available: t $MJOJDBM 1TZDIPMPHZ BOE t 0SHBOJTBUJPOBM 1TZDIPMPHZ Coursework is selected and placements organised according to the area of specialisation. It is a requirement that the topic of the PhD must relate to the area of specialisation.
Special requirements As many agencies require all staff working with their clients or patients to have a police clearance, students are required to obtain a Federal police clearance (which will include WA clearance) if accepted into the course. In addition, if working with children, a separate screening by the Department of Community Development is required to obtain the Working with Children CertiďŹ cate.
Professional recognition The course is fully accredited by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC) and is recognised as such by the Australian Psychological Society (APS) and the Western Australian Psychologists’ Registration Board. Graduates will be eligible for direct registration as psychologists with the WA Psychologists’ Registration Board.
Admission requirements Applicants must apply simultaneously for entry to both the MAppPsych and the PhD. Candidates enrolled in the ďŹ rst year of the MAppPsych may apply for transfer into the program.

This course combines advanced professional training in the application of psychology to real-world problems with a Doctorallevel research project that makes a distinct contribution to the psychology profession. The course is appropriate for those seeking to register to work as a psychologist, and who also wish to pursue specialised research in a particular professional area. In this course, students will become skilled in individual casework and will apply their skills and knowledge to prevention, research, development and evaluation. The Doctor of Psychology is a three-year intensive professional research degree consisting of seminars, supervised practical work and applied research. Students must specialise in either clinical or organisational psychology. The ďŹ rst year of study is the same as the ďŹ rst year of the Master of Applied Psychology course.

Candidates undertake at least three approved placements during their course and accrue more hours of supervised experience than candidates in the Masters course. The choice of placements will correspond to the specialisation undertaken. For Clinical Psychology, at least one placement must be undertaken in an adult clinical facility, one in a child clinical facility and one in a rehabilitation facility; for Organisational Psychology, candidates must complete ďŹ ve placements, four of which must be in external organisational settings.

The Master of Arts by Personal Program (MAPP) is available to students where there is no deďŹ ned course existing in their area(s) of interest. It is a one-to two-year coursework degree designed to provide graduate students with career-enhancing experience in Media, Communication and Culture, Social Sciences, Humanities and other associated specialty disciplinary areas.

Graduates from any ďŹ eld of study may undertake a MAPP (it is a student’s ability to undertake study and assessment work at a higher level that is signiďŹ cant). While a MAPP need not relate to a previous qualiďŹ cation, it can be studied to extend knowledge in a given area or even provide a more theoretical framework to a scientiďŹ c and practical background.
Title of the Masters Degree The title of the Masters course is dependent on the focus of study. The title would be deďŹ ned on application and would appear on the academic transcript and degree certiďŹ cate.
Social Sciences and Humanities
Applicants start with a ‘blank canvas’ as their course structure. From here a Murdoch academic with expertise in your area of interest helps you to build a course of study at the Masters level and ensures the course has intellectual coherence in the combination of units and the title of the course. A ‘blank canvas’ allows a more exible approach to Masters study, as you are able to select from a broader range of study areas.
56
For applicants with a three-year undergraduate degree the MAPP is a two-year full-time qualiďŹ cation. Students undertake 48 points of study (two years equivalent) which is made up of a series of 2-to 12-point units, hence a two-year course may typically comprise between 10 and 12 units of study.
Applicants who hold a four-year undergraduate degree, or have already furthered their undergraduate studies with a postgraduate qualiďŹ cation, can apply for advanced standing of up to one year of the two-year MA. Where advanced standing of one year has been approved, the MA is a 24-point (one-year equivalent) qualiďŹ cation studied across one year full-time.

Building a course structure A good way to start is to see whether we have existing units of study, at the appropriate level in your area(s) of interest, which can start to build your course structure. To do this go to the University’s Handbook at handbook.murdoch.edu.au. On that page click Units: Lists and Search 2010, and scroll down to the bottom of the page. You can then search for the areas of study which interest you. Simply click on the relevant areas; you will then be presented with unit lists. Search through units in the 400 – 500 level and make your selection, which will take you to a complete unit outline. The next step is to contact us to link you with an appropriate supervisor to talk about your study interests, what you hope to get out of the Masters, whether you found any units of interest and set about building a course of study. Once this course structure has been approved by you and the supervisor, you may then submit an application to study that Masters course.
Admission requirements Applicants must hold a Bachelor degree requiring at least three years of equivalent full-time study.

This is one of the ďŹ rst courses in Australia that is devoted to the examination of global security and the phenomenon of terrorism. The course is designed to encourage students to understand the nature of security and terrorism from military, legal, political, economic, psychological and sociological perspectives. It deďŹ nes security broadly to incorporate the protection of individuals and their values, norms, rules, institutions and property from military and nonmilitary sources. It explains terrorism as a threat to security, but suggests a multiple approach to the ‘war on terror’, involving diplomacy, development, capacity building and military force.
Career prospects Graduates of this course will be excellent candidates for recruitment into the intelligence services as well as in the Departments of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Defence, and Immigration and Citizenship, and the Attorney-General’s Office. They will also be suited for employment in journalism, international business and corporate management. Employment opportunities may be enhanced for those who hold degrees in other disciplines like Law, Business or Information Technology.

The Postgraduate Diploma in Tourism is a six-unit course that aims to provide students with a detailed understanding of travel and tourism, the tourism industry and the communities affected by tourism. This includes sustainable tourism, cultural, indigenous and naturebased tourism, and the nature of tourism in Australia within a world context. Students undertake a common core of units in this qualiďŹ cation that allows an ‘experience’ of the world of travel and tourism through the writings of travellers, through the work of social researchers and through students own travel experiences. Students will be introduced to the geography of tourism, global dimensions of tourism and regional tourism developments; and address sustainable tourism that incorporates a set of principles which integrates economic imperatives with the maintenance of ecological processes, biological diversity and biophysical resources, equity within and between generations, and the need for compatibility with society, community and cultural values. Students will undertake a research-based tourism project based on a supervised project designed in conjunction with a supervisor.

The Master of Arts in Asian Sustainable Development provides an opportunity for graduates in the Asian region to study the central issue of global and local sustainable development externally. This issue, deďŹ ned by various United Nations conferences and publications, has many elements to it, hence all aspects of government, the economy and civil society are being examined in the light of sustainability.
The Master of Arts in Ecologically Sustainable Development is designed to explore the policies, issues and processes of ecologically sustainable development (ESD). Students are able to study the current status, the history and the value bases of sustainable development, together with the policy approaches that are emerging for sustainability in the various sectors such as energy, industry, households, agriculture and ďŹ sheries.
The policy focus is on how global and local wealth can be created in ways that have less resource use and environmental impact, and greater ability to make liveable communities. The course builds on two core units, and then can be applied in different areas, including urban regional sustainability, renewable energy, environmental management and policy, and ecotourism. Case study material is drawn from the Asian region and projects will be done on local issues of relevance to the students. A ďŹ nal project unit or dissertation will draw together the student’s main interest in a research exercise.
The core unit provides a background to the policy, economic and ethical frameworks through which ESD is currently being explored and implemented. These frameworks provide students with the tools for interpreting ESD issues and applying them in practice.

Local governance is an area of growth in academic interest and employment. The changes in local government now demand that it works in a more transparent way, engaging with local community and business, that it is more integrated into state government programs in sustainability, community development, planning and regional development, and that it is more business-like and holistic in decision-making. This is the agenda of local governance. This degree will provide students with the theory and practice related to governance at a local level. It will integrate theory from public policy, sustainability, business and community development to emphasise partnerships and bottom-up approaches to change. Units can be chosen to focus more on theory, or alternatively on practice, via a placement in local government.
Career prospects Local government will be the major employer, though as explained above, other sectors will also use graduates in this area.

The Research Masters (with training) is a 36-point, 18-month course which is onethird coursework (12 points) and two-thirds research dissertation or project (24 points). The coursework component is made up of existing postgraduate units or an Independent Study Contract which typically equates to three units. At least one of these units will include a research methodology unit and one will be in the area of thesis speciality. The research methodology unit is basically designed to teach you how to do research and helps you to move from undergraduate essay writing to research-based writing at the appropriate technical standard. The 24-point research component involves submitting a research dissertation or project of at least 25,000 to 30,000 words (or equivalent). Ultimately the title of your Research Masters (with training) will be determined by your ďŹ eld of research. After completion of a Research Masters with Training you may like to consider proceeding to a PhD or Master of Philosophy (MPhil). You would not be eligible for advanced standing however, as the course would provide you with the minimum entry requirements to those higher degrees.
Admission requirements
Research
Applicants must normally hold a recognised Bachelor degree requiring at least three years of full-time study or the part-time equivalent and a graduate study course requiring at least one year of full-time study or the part-time equivalent; or a four-year degree; and in addition have the equivalent of at least two years of full-time relevant professional experience or demonstrated research capacity relevant to the ďŹ eld.
66
t 5VJUJPO GFF 3FGFS UP QBHF
It is expected that research for the PhD thesis will focus on advancing theoretical and empirical knowledge in a ďŹ eld. It is required to make a distinctive contribution to the knowledge of a subject with which it deals and provide evidence of scholarship and originality. It is expected that the level of scholarship for the PhD must advance theory and normaly takes the equivalent of three years full-time study. You may choose to enrol in a unit such as Paradigms of Educational and Social Research, which is especially designed to support the writing of a Doctoral level dissertation. The research for the MPhil will also advance knowledge in a ďŹ eld. It too is required to make a distinctive contribution to the knowledge of the subject with which it deals and provide evidence of scholarship and originality; however it is somewhat more modest in scope because it is expected normally to be completed in the equivalent of 18 months full-time. Additional coursework can be taken if, in the judgement of the supervisor and in consultation with you, such enrolment will enhance your completion of the dissertation. Applications for research degree candidature are accepted at any time during the year, although processing of forms received after the October closing date may be delayed.
Admission requirements To qualify for admission, students need to have had suitable research preparation either through an Honours degree (at least upper second-class honours); or satisfactory completion of a Masters degree qualifying course, including a thesis or dissertation; or a research-orientated postgraduate diploma; or evidence of scholarly or professional attainment providing research preparation.
