Why postgraduate study at Murdoch?

Did you know Murdoch University has achieved a QS Stars five-star rating that puts it amongst some of the leading universities in the world, and also has multiple five-star ratings for our undergraduate and postgraduate studies in the Good Universities Guide?  

Not only do we excel in academics, but our campus is often viewed favourably as a home-away-from-home for students, nestled in a cosy native Australian woodland setting.  

Student Shuang Li is currently studying a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Cyber Security and Forensics, having also studied her bachelor’s here. Originally from China, Shuang came to Perth for more opportunity, and she’s already getting a taste of a real world career. 

“For international students, the most important thing is the career prospects after studying and graduating. Murdoch’s courses are very practical, and students can get internship opportunities which helps to transfer the knowledge learned in class to real life,” she said. 

“I am currently working as a part-time cyber security cadet; an internship I got through Murdoch University. It’s a challenging and exciting opportunity to apply my academic knowledge in a supportive team that will invest in my development, and it’s practice for solving real business challenges in cyber security.”
