Why study at Curtin Singapore?
Location
The Curtin Singapore campus is located 10 minutes from the central business district with direct bus routes from the campus to three different Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) train stations. Singapore's public transport system provides efficient, affordable and reliable transport to all parts of the island city.
Flexible entry options
Courses at Curtin Singapore are as flexible and individual as the students who study them. Students who may not automatically qualify for university entry can enrol at Curtin Singapore in the certificate and diploma programs. We also recognise previous studies and work experience, enabling some students to take advantage of the relevant prior learning they have acquired. This may enable students to complete their degrees in a shorter period of time.
Fast-track with a summer semester
Curtin Singapore operates on a semester system with intakes in February and July. Students may fast-track their studies with a summer semester starting in November. Students have the flexibility to complete their studies faster or to extend their studies over a longer time period. However, all international students must be enrolled in full-time studies.
Small class sizes
Curtin Singapore's smaller classes ensure a supportive learning environment for all students. Lectures have a maximum of 100 students, in comparison to most Australian universities which average 300 to 400 students in their first year. A better learning environment is encouraged by: increasing interaction between lecturer and students; maximising interaction between students; ensuring that personal attention is given to each student; allowing lecturers to identify and assist students who require extra help and facilitating students' highest academic achievements and cross-cultural experiences.
Excellent facilities
An ideal learning environment would not be complete without high-quality facilities. Students have access to specially developed facilities with the latest audiovisual teaching equipment and first class computer technology with electronic and extended library services. A prayer room is also available for use by students on campus.
