An affordable, world-class education
CURTIN University Malaysia (Curtin Malaysia), the largest international campus of Australia’s Curtin University situated in Miri, Malaysia is a good choice for an affordable, world-class education close to home.
Courses are identical to those at the main campus in Perth. There is no differentiation between degrees received at the Malaysian campus or any other Curtin campus as all are conferred directly by Curtin University.
Curtin University is currently ranked in the top one percent of universities worldwide in the Academic Ranking of World Universities 2019 and rose significantly to 230th position in the world in the QS World University Ranking 2020, an assurance of its quality education, including at its Malaysia campus.
Curtin Malaysia offers many courses in subject areas in which Curtin has achieved world rankings under the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2019. They include second in the world for Mineral and Mining Engineering and 35th for Earth and Marine Sciences, top 100 for Civil and Structural Engineering, top 150 for Communication and Media Studies and Chemical Engineering, top 200 for Accounting and Finance, Business and Management Studies, and Electrical and Electronic Engineering, top 250 for Mechanical Engineering and top 350 for Computer Science and Information Systems.

They include Bachelor of Applied Science (Construction Management), Bachelor of Science (Computing) with streams in Software Engineering and Cyber Security, Bachelor of Commerce (Management and Human Resources), and Master of Arts (Journalism). More niche courses are scheduled for launch next year.

Its comprehensive range of business courses are accredited by the prestigious Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) and professional bodies, both nationally and internationally.
