The degree awarded in Dubai is exactly the same as awarded in Australia. Both campuses have the same admissions requirements, follow an identical academic curriculum, use common faculty and offer the same careers service and student service support. There is no difference therefore, the degree awarded is exactly the same as conferred on campus.
Lecturers are carefully selected from a pool of experienced and highly qualified professionals. Murdoch Australia must also approve all lecturers before they are allowed to teach in the programme. Usually, they are academics from local tertiary institutions or practitioners with extensive experience from the industry. They must hold a recognized Master's Degree and above in order to undertake any Bachelor programme.
