Hear from one of our transfer students
I began my studies at Curtin Singapore and went to Curtin Perth in the second year of my course. I was excited because I’d heard great things about the Perth campus! Since it is Curtin’s main campus, it is extremely big and has many facilities for students.
Throughout my studies, I was able to group up with students from different countries, and this put my leadership skills to the test. I loved it and I’m glad that I got to experience it!
