Curtin University has been ranked among the world’s top 20 young universities in the QS Top 50 Under 50 in the 2019 QS World University Rankings.
Curtin University Vice-Chancellor, Professor Deborah Terry, said Curtin continues to establish itself as a leading young university on the world stage.
“With campuses in Malaysia, Singapore, Dubai and Mauritius, as well as Western Australia, Curtin is a truly global university and I am delighted the University continues to receive global recognition in prestigious world rankings. Even though Curtin is a young university by global standards, the University continues to prove itself on the world stage by rising in international rankings and this result is a credit to both staff and students,” Professor Terry said.
At Curtin, teaching is collaborative, personalised and innovative, giving students a rewarding learning experience with highly accomplished academic mentors and access to high-tech facilities. The University is recognised for its teaching quality, with a five-star rating for teaching in the 2017 international QS Stars ratings.
Interactive facilities and teaching methods help students learn practical and critical thinking skills. The University uses a “flipped classroom” approach, where the time spent in class is used to collaborate with other students to solve problems, and discuss and debate issues, guided by teaching staff in the role of mentors and advisors. Outside of class time, students prepare for these workshops using lecture notes, videos and online tools.
Classroom learning is integrated with industry, allowing students to apply their studies to real-world industry challenges. Through the University’s industry connections, students learn key field skills, engage with local industry, undertake on-the-ground research and get exposure to some of the industry’s top employers.
Partnerships with Woodside Energy, BHP, CISCO and Western Australia’s Chamber of Commerce and Industry are examples of Curtin’s integration with industry and government, as it leads a number of major national and international research projects in health sciences, astronomy, economics, minerals and energy, and crop disease management.
There are flexible study options to suit different interests and career goals. Depending on their course, students may have the opportunity to transfer between campuses, or choose to complete their degree online.
The Centre for Aboriginal Studies is actively engaged in educating people about the diverse and rich cultural history of Indigenous Australian people, and the social and political issues that affect and concern them.
The Faculty of Business and Law stands at the forefront of contemporary debate and analysis and strategic forecasting. Situated within the faculty, Curtin Business School is recognised as an elite global business school through accreditation by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business and offers a wide range of internationally recognised courses.
Courses within the Faculty of Health Sciences provide students with a hands-on approach to learning, imparting knowledge and discoveries that help them make a real difference. Curtin Health Sciences are ranked at world standard level or above in medical microbiology, nursing, nutrition and dietetics in the 2015 Excellence in Research Australia (ERA) results.
As a destination for progressive thinkers, Curtin focuses on providing globally relevant humanities qualifications that value sustainability and focus on community development. The faculty is dedicated to flexibility, allowing students to ‘mix and match’ majors to best prepare themselves for employment in a global economy. Students are encouraged to harness their talents, ambitions and curiosities to create ideas that are innovative, have the potential to be commercialised and can positively impact the community.
The Faculty of Science and Engineering is a place where students can apply their studies to real-world industry challenges. The purpose-built learning facilities, including the AUD116 million Resources and Chemistry Precinct, are sophisticated, stimulating and creative learning environments that offer problem-based learning, group collaboration and the opportunity to share ideas with industry.
To study at Curtin, students must meet the University’s admission standards. International students must satisfy academic entry requirements and English language competency requirements, and students must also meet specific course prerequisites. Entry is competitive and students may need to achieve scores higher than the minimum requirements for admission to some courses.
Each country has its own education system and testing. The academic entry requirements by country can help students work out which qualifications they need to be eligible for a course at Curtin.
If students are unable to meet Curtin’s minimum entry requirements, they may complete a program at Curtin English, Curtin College or both. These pathways enable them to study at a number of different levels and progress to an undergraduate or postgraduate course at Curtin. Curtin English and Curtin College are located at Curtin’s Bentley Campus in Perth, giving them access to the University’s facilities and support services.
Technology-rich learning environments recreate real workplaces to enhance students’ studies and give them the practical experience they need before they graduate.
Students can interact with 3D virtual worlds and panoramas in The HIVE (Hub for Immersive Visualisation and e-Research). It’s a quantum leap in the presentation and analysis of complex data.
The library has remained one of the most important buildings at Curtin, with much of the traditional library now replaced by technology-rich, café-style environments. On level 2, the iZone has computers with touchscreens, Bluetooth and webcam capabilities, whiteboards, graphics workstations and charging facilities for devices. Sleep pods are installed on level three, giving students the opportunity for a 20-minute power nap.
Recreating the environment of a large hospital in Perth in amazing detail, the simulated hospital ward supports virtual and augmented realities, with anatomage tables and full-body computerised mannikins with life-like features.
Simulating a real-life business environment with 20 Bloomberg Professional licences and Wall Street-inspired terminals, the Trading Room buzzes with activity.
There is a sense of community both in and out of the classroom, with new collaborative learning spaces replacing traditional classrooms, and outdoor leisure areas with bean bags, hammocks, outdoor games and food trucks to enjoy in-between classes.
Curtin Stadium is the home of sport, fitness, recreation and events on campus, with a main gym, women’s gym, large group fitness area, indoor cycling studio, sports hall and multi-purpose courts available for hire. There are many registered and affiliated sports clubs catering for all levels of skill and experience, allowing students to participate whether they are new to sport or aim to compete at an elite level.
