Among the benefits of studying at Curtin University is that students can transfer or study in their overseas campus of choice; thus immersing themselves in new culture, making new friends and developing new perspectives.
Curtin University Malaysia, located in Miri, Sarawak, was founded in 1999.
It provides courses such as Foundation Studies (Arts, Commerce, Engineering and Science), Business, Engineering, and Science and Humanities.
The university has also launched new courses such as Bachelor of Applied Science ( Hons) Construction Management, Bachelor of Science ( Computing), Software Engineering, Cyber Security, and Bachelor of Commerce ( Management and Human Resources Management).
