Internal study refers to face to face or on-campus teaching where students attend campus to undertake classes, lectures, tutorials and or practicals related to their course.
For external students Murdoch offers flexible access to learning materials with the aim of delivering a learning experience which is as close as possible to that available to internal students. Most external units will only use online resources. You will need internet access to study externally.
Units in internal study mode are coded 'D' when you enrol in MyInfo. Class sign up will open on Wednesday 3 June for all teaching periods running during the second half of the year including Semester 2, Semester 2 Nursing and Semester 2 Education.
If you happen to fail a unit, the Fail grade will be changed to the special AS - Academic Safety Net grade and excluded from the GPA calculation.
The internal assessment is what you do as part of your coursework - the essays, group assignments, tests, etc. External assessment refers to the examination, which is usually taken in the exam period once your lectures and workshops are finished.
External study allows you to study from home and set your own pace. Live a long distance from campus: If you are based in a regional or remote location, or live in a community without a nearby uni campus, external study can be the best mode of study.
To change between honours (except engineering) or postgraduate courses you need to contact the Meet Murdoch on [email protected] to discuss changing your course and apply for the new course.
You can add or change your units online through MyMurdoch >> Learning >> Manage course and unit enrolment >> Self Enrolment >> Units up until the end of the second week of the teaching period (see the Dates and Deadlines page).
Once you have accepted your Murdoch offer and received your login details, you can get started by logging into your myMurdoch account. You'll find what you're looking for on the myInfo section of this account – this is where you'll self-enrol in your units.
You must have a grade point average (GPA) in your undergraduate degree of 2.5 or higher (an average mark of 65% for all your units of study). Typically, a GPA of 3.0 or above is needed to guarantee entry to Honours.
Murdoch University has ranked among Australia's top universities in the 2021 edition of the Good Universities Guide, with five-star rankings in several categories across undergraduate and postgraduate educational experience.
Good grades always come with a lot of self-discipline, effort and hard-work. In Murdoch university, the grading of modules come in the various forms of exams, assignments, class participation, online quizzes and tests. I would say that the Murdoch university programme is not an easy one to get through.
If you are studying on campus you can sign up for classes when class sign up opens through MyMurdoch > MyInfo > Class sign up.
If the Handbook only indicates one class (e.g. one 2-hour tutorial per week) but there is more than one timetabled option for that class, you are only required to select one of the class timeslots shown.
Once you have accepted your offer, you need to enrol in units and sign up for classes. You will be notified when enrolments open for the year.
To complete your enrolment you need to select the ‘Learning’ heading from the menu on the left. Click ‘Manage course and unit enrolment’ option in the right hand menu and you can then begin self enrolment.
You can self-enrol in the units for the second major or minor prior to having it added to your record if it is unrestricted. Next: Complete self-enrolment.
We suggest you keep your unit enrolment in internal mode because most internal units will have online class options available for class sign up. If you find you do not have an online class option available during class sign up, you can check with your Unit Coordinator if there is another option to complete the unit online.
Yes, you can change your units from external mode to internal mode (and vice versa) in the Self-enrolment section of MyInfo until the end of Week 2. Please note, not all units are offered in internal and external study mode, please check the University Handbook.
No, online classes in internal units are different to the external mode of a unit. Online classes are run by a tutor at a specific time. You need to select the online class option during class sign up and participate in the online class at the given time (as you usually would be required to do studying in an internal unit).
