Student Access, Diversity & Special Needs - Entry & Support |
Murdoch University has demonstrated a strong history of increasing the diversity of its student intake. Each year the University encourages onto its campuses, people from culturally diverse backgrounds, those with special needs, people completing high school education and mature-age entrants. Students accessing the University come from a wide variety of experiences and with diverse requirements. Through a socially inclusive approach, the University hopes to reflect the needs of its students, in the classroom and across the campus in its services and supports.
The Equity, Access & Diversity Office is responsible for ensuring entry and support for a number of these diverse groups, particularly those people with disabilities, those on low incomes, people from rural or remote locations and those who arrive in Australia as refugees. Aboriginal people are welcomed and encouraged to access services at Equity, Access & Diversity or at the Kulbardi Aboriginal Education Centre which also provides a number of alternative entry programs and support for indigenous and Torres Strait Islander students. Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people interested in Veterinary Science should check the Waardong site, http://www.vetbiomed.murdoch.edu.au/waardong/

During your studies there may be times when you consider withdrawing from university. The reasons vary but often relate to financial or family issues or academic problems and difficulties.
At these times withdrawing from study does seem to be the
most tempting option.
However,
taking that step can present you with other issues which can effect you, both
personally and financially.
Please READ and consider this information BEFORE you go ahead and cease your study.
Scholarships for undergraduate and postgraduate students with low incomes or where special circumstances exist
The Scholarships Office administers scholarships for undergraduate and postgraduate by coursework students with low incomes, or where special circumstances exist. These include students who are Indigenous, those with disabilities or medical conditions, and students who have moved from rural or remote locations to undertake their studies. Information about Scholarships that are funded and administered by Murdoch can be found at the Scholarships Office homepage: http://oss.murdoch.edu.au/scholarships
There are a limited number of Federally funded Commonwealth Scholarships available via Murdoch in Semester 2 2009. From 2010 the Commonwealth Scholarship scheme will be abolished and replaced by a new scholarship scheme to be administered by Centrelink
The Related Policy Documents page provides links to both Murdoch University policy and government policy which relates to Equity students. Murdoch University's policies are supported by both State and Federal legislation and prohibit discrimination across a number of areas including race, gender, disability, sexual preference, age, religion and marital status.
