You will take classes from Australian professors, with Australian classmates. When you have finished your semester, you will be able to say that you truly experienced life in another culture.

THE LOCATION
Perth, the capital of Western Australia, has a population of 1.38 million people, more hours of sunshine than any other Australian city, and 50 kilometers of beaches. The lifestyle encourages both study and social activity.

THE UNIVERSITY
Murdoch is located 25 minutes by bus from the center of Perth, and 10 minutes from the port city of Fremantle. With a student population of 12,000, students experience a campus similar in size to Eau Claire and a community which provides individualized attention, close staff/student collaboration, and good access to support facilities such as computer labs, and the library.

HOUSING & MEALS
Your housing is arranged with the help of Murdoch University. First and second year students are typically placed on-campus, in eight-bedroom apartment units in the Student Village. Third and fourth year students are generally given a choice of on or off-campus housing. A strong effort is made to house international and Australian students together. You'll cook your own meals in the apartment kitchens or eat at one of several campus cafeterias.
