Murdoch University Research Centres and Institutes

Murdoch is one of the leading research universities in Australia. Our research work has national and international relevance which, in turn, informs and strengthens our teaching programs, keeping our students at the leading edge of their discipline and aligned to current and future industry needs.

We are proud to make a contribution to society, with many research projects resulting in benefits such as plant disease control, animal health, clean air, waste treatment and environmental technology.

Murdoch is a member of the collaborative research alliance, Innovative Research Universities Australia (IRUA).
