Welcome international applicants

Welcome from the Vice-Chancellor of Curtin University

Professor Jeanette Hacket,
Vice-Chancellor of Curtin University

Curtin University is a pioneer of tertiary education in the international market. We began delivering programs in Singapore in 1986, and have such long-term partners as the Marketing Institute of Singapore, the Singapore Institute of Materials Management and the Singapore Human Resources Institute. Our Singapore campus is an excellent opportunity to build upon these important relationships and take it a step further. The new campus enables all our Singaporean operations to be consolidated in a single location close to the bustling heart of the city. We look forward to greater benefits for our current and future students.

Curtin is Western Australia's largest university offering courses at undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral levels. In 2007 more than 41,300 students were enrolled at the University, with 17,100 being international students. Curtin is committed to strong international engagement and strives toward innovative, modern teaching methods and the highest academic standards.

Curtin is known for its extensive research activities, with the University ranked 11th in a comparison of Australian universities' total 2006 research income. We are widely recognised for the practical and applied nature of our courses, and successful partnerships with industry, business and government that enable students to gain essential and relevant skills. This, coupled with our research focused on solving real world problems, produces graduates poised to make a real difference in the world.

Introduction from the Chief Executive Officer Curtin Education Centre

Dr Rod Jones,
Chief Executive Officer of Curtin Education Centre

A very warm welcome to Curtin Singapore. Curtin Singapore was established in 2008 with the intention of bringing Curtin's offshore programs into a single, consolidated, state-of-the-art campus. This will allow a full synergy of Curtin's academic delivery in Singapore.

Singapore's stated intentions of being Asia's premier education hub and its highly regarded education system will make Curtin Singapore an excellent choice for students seeking a university degree with an Asian flavour. Singapore is a safe, multi-cultural and vibrant city that embodies the finest of east and west. Students will be part of an exciting campus which gives them access to the Asian region and beyond.

We hope you enjoy your learning experience at Curtin Singapore.
