It is known for its practical, career-focused teaching, which helps graduates move smoothly into the global workforce.

Is Murdoch
University Dubai Accredited?
Yes. In Australia, Murdoch University is fully accredited by the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA). In Dubai, the campus is accredited by the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA). It is also accredited by the UAE Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research (MoHESR) through the Commission for Academic Accreditation (CAA). This means your degree is recognised in both Australia and the UAE.
