Worth it!
September 17, 2025by: Josephine Thomson - United StatesProgram: Study Abroad in Perth, Australia - Tropical Marine BiologyTropical Marine Biology at Murdoch was a great short-term program. I didn't want to commit to a full semester abroad, so just one month in Australia was perfect! The teaching staff at Murdoch was exceptional, and the 10-day field camp up in Coral Bay was worth the whole trip. It was winter in Australia, so be cautious that you will be in Perth during their rainy season!
