Metior is funded by the Murdoch University Guild of Students but remains independent.
Metior was founded in 1975, the same year Murdoch University was officially established.
Metior was a hard-copy student publication and went through many iterations, edits and formats throughout its time on campus.
In 2015, due to a significant drop in readership and the undeniable influence of the internet, Metior made the switch to online only.
The magazine, in conjunction with the Murdoch Guild, plans to print one hard-copy edition at the beginning of every academic year but this is dependent on financial factors.
