Background-
Lindsey Omenge, who finished a double major in Finance and Accounting at Murdoch University Dubai, has claimed both the University Medal and the Vice Chancellor’s Award for her academic performance and leadership.
Her achievement points to Murdoch Business School’s push to bring quality business education within reach of students around the world. Working through the school’s tie-up with Murdoch University Dubai and Navitas, students get an Australian education, close support and industry links without leaving their region.
Omenge tried out a few academic directions before settling on accounting, where she found a learning community spread across cultures that pushed her forward. Sharing classrooms with peers from different backgrounds widened her outlook, and close bonds with faculty plus industry exposure sharpened her confidence and readiness for work. Just months into her degree, she landed an internship and became financially independent, all while keeping her grades strong.
Omenge said the program reshaped her outlook entirely, pointing to professors who remembered her by name and classmates worldwide who pushed back on her ideas. Landing an internship and gaining financial independence within two months, she said, rebuilt her confidence in a way no exam score ever had.
Professor Antonia Girardi, Pro Vice Chancellor College and Business and Dean of Murdoch Business School, said Omenge’s story captures what accessible education can do inside a globally linked learning setup. Girardi said talent shows up everywhere, so opportunity needs to as well, and pointed to Omenge as proof that reachable education paired with global exposure and solid industry ties can reshape a student’s path.
