Murdoch University (PA)
The Murdoch Campus is located on South Street in the suburb of Murdoch, about 15 kilometres south of the Perth Central Business District and eight kilometres east of the port city of Fremantle. South Street is a major arterial road to Fremantle and forms the northern boundary of the campus, whilst Farrington Road, adjacent to North Lake, provides the southern boundary. The Kwinana Freeway is the main access route to the University for travel from Perth and its northern suburbs, and from suburbs south of Murdoch.
Murdoch was the second, government research university to be established in Western Australia and today is home to more than 11500 students and 1200 staff who come from every racial, ethnic and social group in Western Australia. It is also host to over 1100 international students from 40 different countries. The University is of a size which allows it to retain a friendly and informal atmosphere, which encourages effective staff-student interaction.
The University can be found in Perth's southern suburbs, about 20 minutes by car (15 kms) from the central business district, and 10 minutes (8km) from the port city of Fremantle. A new campus has recently been established at Rockingham, less than an hour's drive from the main campus.
