Each semester we welcome Study Abroad and Exchange students to spend a semester or year studying with us at Murdoch University. These students come from all around the world and making sure they feel welcome is an important part of their journey.

The MEXSA Buddy Program places full-degree Australian and International students in small groups with our incoming students to answer their questions before they arrive, help show them around once they are in Perth, and in most cases, become friends for life!

Why should you become a MEXSA Buddy?

• Meet students and make friends from around the world
• Training is provided to help you answer any questions they may have
