Curtin Singapore
Curtin Singapore is the Singaporean campus of Curtin University, a public university in Australia. It offers undergraduate and postgraduate degree programs in healthcare, computational sciences, commerce and communications with plans to expand to science and engineering. The campus also offers a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) higher degree by research program. Curtin University is named after John Curtin, a prominent Prime Minister of Australia during World War II from 1941 to 1945, and is the largest university in the state of Western Australia with 58,607 students globally in 2022.
Curtin's campuses follow the "One Curtin" model where all campuses follow identical course curriculum across its programs, including study material and examinations, as Curtin's main Bentley campus. This means that students have the option to transfer or study abroad to other Curtin campuses in Perth, Kalgoorlie, Malaysia, Dubai and Mauritius as units are generally identical. In additional, students from other universities and Curtin campuses can also apply to study abroad at Curtin Singapore. In 2022, the university shifted from its original campus in Whampoa to The Alpha building in Singapore's Science Park II in Queenstown, near NUS and the National University Hospital.
Curtin Singapore is operated directly under Curtin University, which is generally not the case for most private education providers in Singapore. This means that study programs are provided directly by Curtin University and not an external provider. While Curtin Singapore graduates generally have higher employment rates than other private universities in Singapore, it is still lower than public institutions such as the National University of Singapore and Nanyang Technological University. The university follows a trimester model, allowing students to complete a bachelors program in 2 years.
In Australia, the university is known for having high employer satisfaction rates. According to the 2022 Employer Satisfaction Survey published by the Australian Government's QILT, the university received the highest overall employer satisfaction (89.7%) among all universities in Australia. The university also ranks within the top 200 universities according to the Quacquarelli Symonds and U.S. News university ranking publications, while ranking somewhat lower on others.
Curtin University is the modern descendent of the Perth Technical School, established in 1900, which later became the Western Australia Institute of Technology in 1966. The institution received university status in 1986 to form the Curtin University of Technology, named after paramount World War II Prime Minister of Australia John Curtin. In 2010, it removed the suffix from its name and became simply Curtin University. As of 2022, it is the largest university in the state of Western Australia with 58,607 students enrolled across its domestic and overseas campuses.
Curtin University has been actively present in Singapore since 1986 through the establishment of links with private educational providers in Singapore, including the Singapore Human Resource Institute, Marketing Institute of Singapore and the Singapore Institute of Materials Management. Prior to the establishment of its full-fledged independent campus in Singapore, degrees from Curtin were originally awarded through these partners.
The opening of Curtin Singapore's 5,600-square-metre (60,000 sq ft) campus at Jalan Rajah in Whampoa allowed the university to be able to provide courses on its own merit. All Curtin University courses since its founding has been delivered directly by the university and units are the same across campuses. Students at the Singapore campus are awarded the same degree and transcripts as their peers at other Curtin campuses. The overall cost to establish the university in 2008 was S$40 million.
Curtin Singapore's operations began in December 2008 with an initial enrolment of 900 students, including new and continuing students who were enrolled in Curtin's previous partners. Curtin Singapore had 2,081 students in 2022, an increase of 23% from the previous year.
