Murdoch University Dubai

Murdoch University Dubai is a branch campus of Murdoch University, an Australian public university based in Perth, Western Australia. Established in 2008, Murdoch Dubai originally opened in Dubai International Academic City and later, in May 2020, moved to a larger, purpose-built campus in the Dubai Knowledge Park.

The new campus, designed by Woods Bagot and featuring expanded facilities, supports advanced areas such as Artificial Intelligence and cybersecurity. Murdoch Dubai operates as a joint venture between Murdoch University and Navitas Middle East and is licensed and regulated by both the Dubai Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) and the Australian Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA).

The campus offers foundation, diploma, undergraduate, and postgraduate degrees in fields including business, IT, communications, psychology, and education, following a student-centered approach with personalized faculty attention.

Murdoch University Dubai aims to provide a global education experience with high teaching standards, reflected in its five-star employability rating and high student satisfaction scores. The university was inaugurated by the UAE Minister of Higher Education, Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, emphasizing its significance in the UAE’s higher education landscape.

The institution also actively engages in research initiatives, including collaborative projects on emerging global issues like COVID-19 transmission. Murdoch Dubai has grown steadily since its inception, serving a diverse student population and supporting innovation and practical learning through modern facilities and labs.

The university reflects the legacy of Murdoch University, which opened in 1974 in Australia and is named after Sir Walter Murdoch, a noted writer and educator. Murdoch University Dubai continues to uphold the parent university's commitment to academic excellence, social justice, and inclusion while adapting to the needs of a dynamic international community.
