Curtin Malaysia shares joy of Curtin’s climb up global rankings
MIRI: Curtin University’s continued climb up the global university rankings is a boon to both the Perth-based university and its four international campuses, including its Malaysian campus in Miri.
Pro vice- chancellor and Curtin University Malaysia ( Curtin Malaysia) president Professor Jim Mienczakowski said such global standing and reputation for innovation and excellence extends to its Malaysian campus as well because there is no differentiation between the education provided and in the degrees graduates receive at each campus
“Students at Curtin Malaysia study courses identical to those at the other Curtin campuses and the degrees they earn are conferred directly by Curtin University in Perth.
“In addition, they have access to the same online learning resources and student support mechanisms as their counterparts in Australia, and are offered flexibility in completing their degrees at one of the other campuses,” he said in a statement.
Mienczakowski was commenting on Curtin University being ranked 250th among the world’s universities in the 2018- 2019 QS World University Rankings ( QSWUR) announced last Thursday
In the past week Curtin was also ranked 68th in the Times Higher Education World University Ranking ( THEWUR) Young University Rankings which is a ranking of the top 250 institutions under 50 years of age. The university had risen 16 places in the ranking since 2017, and two places to 12th in Australia.
Curtin’s scores rose in four of the ranking’s five indicators ( citations, teaching, research and international outlook) and maintained a stable score for industry income.
