Studying in a different country can be quite a challenge especially when it comes to the financial aspect. Not many loans are available and even fewer scholarships are available for international students. It is nice to know that the regular Stafford loans do apply to Murdoch University and also, as of 2006, there is the new Graduate Plus Loan.
Program Cost for Murdoch University
Currently the cost for the Veterinary program is: $37,250.00 AUD
This figure is subject to some change each year of the program, and there are other things you will need to consider purchasing as well:
- Books: $90-$200 AUD
- Lab Coat: $25 AUD
- Dissection Kit: $25 AUD
- School Supplies: $200 AUD

Financial Aid
If you are from the United States the first thing to do would be to fill out your FAFSA on the web in order to find out what your expected family contribution would be.

Also, anyone considering Murdoch should visit the financial aid office at Murdoch
