Murdoch University has, from its foundation in 1974, been a university of difference. Established as the second university in WA, Murdoch has always been associated with environment and conservation, social justice and inclusion, and providing pathways into and through a university education for people who had previously been excluded.

At Murdoch, students are encouraged to think for themselves and find new ways to push past the status quo – no matter who they are or where they have come from.
