“Curtin University acknowledges the Nyungar people as the traditional owners of the land on which our main campus is sited.

In times gone, Nyungars would get permission to cross another person’s territory.

These days, Nyungar elders from particular places perform a ‘welcome to country’, to welcome visitors to this land.

We hope to welcome you to our shores soon, to join the Curtin community as we strive to make tomorrow better.”

Associate Professor Simon Forrest

A GREATER CURTIN

Join us as we plan for a greater Curtin. The Curtin 2030 Master Plan will transform our main campus into a culture hub, connecting the University and the broader community in innovative, collaborative and enriching new ways.

The transformation will make Curtin a vibrant destination to work, study and play. The latest technology will support new facilities and creative methods of expression, blurring the lines between scheduled classes, spontaneous social interactions and on-campus activities.

The change will go beyond the campus. We want to create a better quality of life for Western Australian residents and visitors through urban renewal, clever and sustainable design, high-quality public spaces and social outcomes.

And it’s already happening. Exciting initiatives like the addition of pop-up food trucks and the Curtin outdoor cinema are transforming campus life.

More exciting changes are coming soon some of which you could be a part of! Join our journey to lead the way in innovation.

RESEARCH AT CURTIN

Curtin is a leader in the preconstruction of the world’s most powerful radio telescope, which will change our understanding of the cosmos.

We’re helping prepare the world for the arrival of the $2.5 billion Square Kilometre Array (SKA) radio telescope, which will be the largest and most powerful ground-based array ever built.

Curtin collaborates in a joint venture known as the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research, and plays a key role in the SKA project, due to begin construction in 2017. The array will stretch across Western Australia and South Africa, with early science expected in 2020.

As well as the SKA engineering activities, Curtin leads a prestigious group of partners, including MIT and Harvard, on an SKA-low precursor project known as the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA), a low-frequency radio telescope that will play a vital role in developing the SKA’s low-frequency science program.

CHANGING MINDS, LIVES AND THE WORLD.

Strong, strategic partnerships and the recruitment of exemplary research leaders have been important in the establishment and growth of Curtin’s research programs.

Our students and staff are involved in more than 50 major research institutes, as well as 11 industry-focused, cooperative research centres.

MINERALS AND ENERGYCurtin’s research in minerals and energy is aimed at maximising existing resources and developing innovative, technological solutions to address our future needs. Research groups from across the University undertake both fundamental and applied research in resource exploration, extraction and processing; the development of new materials, energy sources and fuel technologies; mineral and energy economics and policy; and the impact of mining on remote communities.

ICT AND EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES Information communication technology (ICT) and emerging technologies is a broad area of study concerned with the use of technology to communicate and use information. Researchers from Curtin are involved in the international Square Kilometre Array (SKA), the world’s largest radio astronomy project. Radio astronomers, electrical engineers and computational scientists are all contributing their expertise to this exciting endeavour. Curtin also continues research initiatives across areas such as spatial science, wireless telecommunications, digital humanities, e-business, e-health and digital ontologies.

HEALTHCurtin is the largest and most comprehensive provider of health sciences research in Western Australia. Health science students have excellent opportunities to join programs within the Curtin Health Innovation Research Institute (CHIRI), which takes an innovative approach to addressing the burden of chronic conditions and lifestyle diseases that impact on the

social and economic sustainability of communities worldwide. Research conducted at CHIRI focuses on five primary themes: ageing, chronic disease, Indigenous health, mental health and population health.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTOne of the core concerns of governments and communities worldwide is sustainable development. Curtin offers research opportunities in sustainable development in two broad areas: built environment and natural environment. The first includes social/cultural sustainability, urban design construction management, and sustainable cities, while the second is concerned with climate change, biodiversity, sustainable tourism, food security, and sustainable resource processing.

STUDENT EXCHANGEIf your university is a Curtin exchange partner, you will continue paying tuition fees to your home institution whilst studying for 1 or 2 semesters at Curtin.

STUDY ABROADStudy Abroad is similar to Student Exchange, however you pay your tuition fees to Curtin rather than your home institution.

Planning your budget and finances is an important element of making the most of your time in the city.

Living expenses in Australia can vary, depending on your personal tastes. You should have access to at least A$3,300 when you arrive to settle in. This money will cover costs, such as your bond money (property insurance) and any advance rent payable. Costs associated with electricity, gas and telephone services are usually paid later.

Your day-to-day living costs will vary based on your tastes, interests and financial position. You should plan a budget to suit your needs, but make sure it is flexible enough to allow for changes.

WORK Your student visa gives you permission to work in Australia once you have started your course. Students are permitted to work a maximum of 40 hours per fortnight during semester, and unlimited hours during semester breaks. You shouldn’t rely on your earnings to pay your tuition fees or other living expenses.

VISAS To meet your course requirements, you must be enrolled as a full-time internal student and maintain satisfactory course progress for each study period. Not all units are available every semester, so you may have to apply for another visa to complete your course if you fail a unit.

If the units you need to graduate are not offered, you may have to return home and re-apply for admission. This may incur additional costs for your visa application, tuition fees and living expenses.

HEALTH You must purchase Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) from a registered health provider approved by the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing.

All international students need to purchase OSHC before their student visa will be granted. Your OSHC must cover the full length of your student visa.

SCHOOL-AGE DEPENDANTS

In Western Australia, dependants of international students may be enrolled in either government (public) or non-government (private) schools registered by the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS), provided the school has the capacity to accept them. A visa for the dependant/s must be obtained through the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) or a representative. If a Confirmation of Placement (CoP) letter is required by DIBP (as evidence of dependant/s school enrolment in Western Australia), visit international.curtin.edu.au/pre-departure/family to access the Curtin Dependant Schooling Information Sheet.

Both public and private schools require the payment of full international tuition fees where applicable. Government (public) school fees vary for dependants of undergraduate students, postgraduate students and some scholarship students. It is important to understand these costs BEFORE your dependant/s arrive in Australia. These fees will also be listed on your Confirmation of Placement (CoP) letter once issued by Education & Training International (ETI).

For more information and for contacts regarding visa processing, obtaining a CoP letter, school fees, enrolments and a list of schools, visit international.curtin.edu.au/pre-departure/family and download the Dependant Schooling Information Sheet. You can also contact the International Sponsored Students Unit at [email protected]

Note: Dependants of postgraduate international students (master by coursework or research and PhD only) on sub-class visas 573 and 574 and Australia Awards Scholarship students on visa 576 can be enrolled in selected public schools in Western Australia at local student rates, provided that the school has been registered and has the capacity to accept them.

Note: If dependants enrolled in a public school require English tuition support in a mainstream classroom or placement at an Intensive English Centre, fees may range from A$1,500 to A$3,000 per year, depending on the child’s requirements. This will be an additional charge to the relevant school fees and will be determined by the enrolling school. These associated costs are paid by the student, not by Curtin or the Western Australian Department of Education. It is recommended that dependants commence English language training before arriving in Perth. Programs for dependants with special needs (such as disabilities) are costed on the basis of the child’s requirements in accordance with the Department of Education’s inclusive education standards. These costs can range between a few thousand dollars to over $30,000.

NOTES

Each module of work is discrete and takes a week to complete, allowing students to enter and exit at any stage of the lesson cycle.

Each level has at least five modules of work above the recommended course duration so students taking longer to exit the level do not repeat material.

Gateway Assessments are based on the Cambridge Suite of Tests and can be sat every two weeks if classwork indicates students are ready.

Both B2.1 and B2.2 exit to Curtin College and ELB (English Language Bridging).

OUR ENTRY PATHWAYS

ENGLISH LANGUAGE PATHWAYS BY IELTS ENTRY SCORE If you don’t meet our minimum entry requirements, you may complete a program at Curtin English, Curtin College or both. These pathways enable you to study at a number of different levels and progress to an undergraduate or postgraduate qualification at Curtin.

CURTIN ENGLISH Curtin English is part of Curtin University. These courses will develop your language skills and can help you demonstrate English competence for entry into mainstream Curtin courses via the English Language Bridging course. A language pathway will be tailored for you based on the language requirements of the mainstream course and current language levels.

Curtin English is accredited by the Tertiary Education Quality Standards (TEQSA) and quality assured by the National English Language Teaching Accreditation Scheme (NEAS).

As a Curtin English student, you’ll have access to the University’s facilities while studying in a friendly and supportive environment.

CURTIN ENGLISH PATHWAY CRICOS CODE 090222G Curtin English Pathway (CEP) is a flexible and personalised program that will build your confidence in using English for study, work or travel.

Each teaching week comprises 22 hours of class time per week, with a minimum of an extra 12 hours of self-directed study expected. Your tasks will include reading, writing, listening and speaking in English.

The program consists of six different levels, ranging from basic to intermediate. You can begin studying the program in any week the course is offered, and your starting level is determined by a test.

Throughout the program, you will maintain a portfolio to chart your progress. When your portfolio shows you’re ready to move to the next level, you will be invited to complete a Gateway Assessment. These assessments are offered every two weeks, so you can move through the program at your own pace.

Depending on the English language entry requirement, successful completion of Intermediate 3 or Intermediate 4 of the CEP will allow entry to the next stage of your pathway, the English Language Bridging Program (see below) or a Curtin College degree transfer program (see page 26).

ENGLISH LANGUAGE BRIDGING* CRICOS CODE 003896G

Designed for students from non-English speaking backgrounds, the English Language Bridging (ELB) course is an upper-intermediate academic English program that prepares you for undergraduate and postgraduate study at Curtin University. If you meet the exit requirements (as stated in your Letter of Offer), you are guaranteed entry into a Curtin degree program on successful completion of the course.

ELB progresses you beyond general and academic English and emphasises the language and study skills needed for university studies.

You should choose this course if you:• want to develop your use of

academic English to enable you to work more effectively during your undergraduate or postgraduate degree studies

• have a conditional offer from Curtin University that requires you to attend the English Language Bridging course to obtain a satisfactory English language result.

ELB has two entry points. If you are 1.0 IELTS band (or equivalent) below the university requirement for your chosen course, you will enrol for 17-weeks, whereas if you are 0.5 IELTS band (or equivalent) below the university entry requirement for your chosen course you will enrol for only 10 weeks.

If you are more than one IELTS band (or equivalent) below the university requirement for your chosen course, you will pass through CEP before progressing to the 17 week ELB. Curtin English will indicate the appropriate course duration on your Letter of Offer.

Teaching is intensive, with 22 teaching hours per week and a minimum of 12 hours per week of self-study. You will be assessed through graded ongoing research projects and presentations and end of course tests.

english.curtin.edu.au

*Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) guidelines exist for physiotherapy and psychology courses. These guidelines require students undertaking postgraduate clinical placements to achieve an IELTS score of 7.0 across all bands, or an overall pass in the OET with grades A or B in each of the four components prior to embarking on clinical placements.

At time of publication, students wishing to enter the above courses at a postgraduate level will also need to submit an IELTS or OET after completing ELB.

STUDY AREAS

Graduate career-ready with a Curtin bachelor degree or see where your career could take you with a postgraduate qualification.

UNDERGRADUATE COURSE TYPES

Bachelor degreeA bachelor degree is the first degree earned at university. At Curtin, it is awarded for completing an undergraduate course of study (three to four years).

HonoursAs a natural extension to a bachelor degree, a year of honours study consists of coursework at an advanced level and research or project work (bachelor degree plus one year).

Double degreeDouble degrees combine units from two compatible courses. You can complete the two degrees in less time than it would take to complete them separately (at least four years).

POSTGRADUATE COURSE TYPES

Graduate certificate As a short vocationally-oriented program, graduate certificate courses are designed to develop skills in a specialised area of study (one semester).

Graduate diploma The graduate diploma is a specialised, vocationally-orientated award usually completed in two semesters. Entry is usually based on completion of a bachelor degree or diploma (one year).

Graduate entry master Graduate entry master courses provide a fast-track learning experience for students who already hold a bachelor degree (three semesters to two years).

Master degree A school may accept you into a master degree provided you hold appropriate qualifications as decided by the head of school (three semesters to two years).

RESEARCH DEGREESResearch degrees differ to other postgraduate degrees in that at least two-thirds of the study program involve research. Although some coursework units may be required, the main part of your work will be in the form of a thesis written under the guidance of a supervisor and associate supervisor(s).

Master of PhilosophyThe Master of Philosophy aims to expand knowledge beyond the undergraduate honours or postgraduate diploma level, culminating in a research thesis. Upon completion of a master by research degree, you may apply to be considered for entry into a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) program.

Doctor of PhilosophyAs a doctoral research degree candidate, you will uncover new knowledge either by the discovery of new facts, the formulation of theories or the innovative reinterpretation of known data and established ideas. Your research will use an in-depth understanding of theories and concepts to develop practical solutions for real-world problems.
