Murdoch University and its partner Kaplan have opened a new Singapore campus called Odeon 333 City Campus, marking 25 years of delivering quality education to students in Singapore. 

The university is now the second-largest foreign university operating in Singapore, with over 25,000 graduates.

Located opposite the iconic Raffles Hotel, the new Odeon 333 City Campus spans three levels, featuring thoughtfully designed study areas and classrooms that promote learning and innovation in a tech-driven landscape.

Facilities such as a simulation lab, high-capacity computer labs, a wellness room, and a reference room are designed to enhance the overall student experience and support student well-being.

Pro Vice-Chancellor Transnational Education and Singapore Dean for Murdoch University Professor Peter Waring stated that the new campus sets the university up for strong growth. 

“We are poised to produce an additional 18,000 Murdoch University graduates in Singapore over the next 15 years, and we are committed to shaping a future where education transcends borders.”

Vice Chancellor Professor Andrew Deeks noted that the growth of Murdoch’s presence in Singapore has led to this new chapter. 

“Over the past five decades, Murdoch has grown from a single campus in Perth to a university with a global presence.”

Professor Deeks emphasized the university’s commitment to academic excellence and critical thinking. “We began with a culture of critical thinking, nurturing a community of scholars who are dedicated to making a positive impact—and with a commitment to academic excellence—and this has not changed today.”

Regarding the new chapter in Singapore, Professor Deeks stated, “As we embark on this new chapter in Singapore, we reaffirm our commitment to international partnerships, and we look forward to building a brighter future in Singapore for a long time to come.”

The university’s partnership with Kaplan Singapore began in 2010, introducing a range of bachelor’s and postgraduate degree programs. The new campus reflects Kaplan and Murdoch’s shared commitment to advancing education and collaboration.

The Odean 333 City Campus inauguration was held on Friday, 17 January 2025, attended by Denise Phua, Mayor of Central Singapore District, and His Excellency Allaster Cox, Australian High Commissioner to Singapore. The event featured a symbolic LED ball lighting ceremony.

The Odean 333 City Campus is a BCA Green Mark Platinum-certified building, reflecting the university’s dedication to sustainability and building a better future. Murdoch University has over 25,000 students and 2,400 staff from 90 different countries, with campuses in Perth, Rockingham, Mandurah, Singapore, Dubai, and Malaysia.
