About Murdoch University Dubai

Murdoch University Dubai is a fully integrated branch campus of Murdoch University, one of Australia’s leading research-intensive universities, based in Perth, Western Australia. Established in 2008 in Dubai International Academic City, the campus moved to the heart of the purpose-built education hub, Dubai Knowledge Park, in May 2020.

Murdoch University Dubai's vibrant, state-of-the-art campus in Dubai Knowledge Park currently covers 2,500 sq m over two levels and is twice the size of our former campus in Academic City. In 2026, the campus will expand to almost 4,000 sq m as they extend their teaching, learning and research facilities to a third level at Block 18.

The campus features world-class facilities, including dedicated cybersecurity and gaming labs with custom-built IT systems, purpose-built education-focused furniture, and a range of collaborative breakout spaces designed to enhance teaching, learning, and student life.
