Why Study at Curtin Sarawak?

Curtin Sarawak Campus, Malaysia

Curtin's reputation for excellence in the South East Asian region provided the basis for the Sarawak State Government's initiative to invite Curtin to establish an international university in Sarawak. Curtin's campus in Miri, Sarawak, commenced operations in February 1999. In 2002, the newly-established Lutong Campus opened and is a world-class facility where stylish, architecturally-designed buildings complement state-of-the-art equipment and facilities and sophisticated IT linkages provide student access to the resources of Curtin, Western Australia.

Curtin University of Technology, Sarawak Campus, Malaysia is owned and managed by Curtin (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd which is 90% owned by Sarawak State Government agencies.

The Sarawak Campus offers exactly the same degrees as the main campus in Perth, Western Australia. Every aspect of the academic programs, including course materials and examinations delivered at the Sarawak Campus, is identical to the Curtin programs offered in Perth. Academic staff at the Sarawak Campus are recruited internationally and are of the highest calibre to meet Curtin's standards.

Examinations for the degree programs are set and moderated at Curtin's main campus in Perth, to ensure they meet the academic standards required for completion of a Curtin qualification. Lecturers from Curtin (Western Australia) visit as necessary to consult with Curtin Sarawak academic staff on subject issues, content, assignments and assessment tasks.
