About Murdoch University
Murdoch University is a place where you can be yourself and be appreciated for who you truly are. It’s the kind of place where the lecturers know you by name, and down-to-earth students wave to you across the lawns of Bush Court. Whether you want to change the whole world, some of the world, or just your world; Murdoch’s range of courses and hands-on-learning facilities will equip you with the skills you need. But the most important thing you’ll learn at Murdoch? How to think for yourself.
Why a TAFE to uni pathway is a smart choice
If you’re someone who didn’t pursue an ATAR pathway or is not academically ready to jump straight into university study, a TAFE introduction to higher study is the route for you. This pathway will see you in the supportive environment of a technical College before taking on more intense or independent study at university.
Our lecturers at SM TAFE work with students with a range of academic skills and learning support needs. We can even connect literacy and numeracy support in the classroom, and the team at Student Support can also help with temporary or permanent disability and a wide range of physical, intellectual, sensory and learning disabilities and medical conditions.
When you continue your study at Murdoch University, you will have access to a wide range of support networks including academic and study skills(opens in a new tab) , careers and employability(opens in a new tab) and accessibility support(opens in a new tab) . Murdoch has also built their Business degrees with you in mind, so you’ll have the structure, support and flexibility to study a degree that fits your lifestyle, and career goals.
We also understand that education can be expensive, especially if you’re unable to work during your studies. SM TAFE and Murdoch courses are commonwealth supported, meaning eligible students can apply for a student loan to help with education costs. You will only begin to pay the loan back only when you reach an income threshold, making study affordable until you’re making use of your skills in your new career.
If you’re looking for extra support during your transition to Murdoch, you can apply for their TAFE WA Scholarship. As long as you’ve completed your Diploma, Advanced Diploma or Associate Degree in the same area of study as your intended undergraduate degree, you can apply for the support you need through the Murdoch website(opens in a new tab) .
