perth and wa Experience the Australian lifestyle while studying at Curtin.

The University is located in Perth, the capital city of Western
Australia. A fast growing city with a stable economy, Perth
offers you a vibrant and stimulating living environment.

P 
erth is a major gateway city
to Asia. Located within the
same time zone as Hong
Kong, Beijing, Singapore and
Malaysia, major airlines fly
between the cities many
times a day. Western Australia has
strong relationships with neighbouring
countries and there has been recent
interest from Asian investors in WA’s
engineering and mining industries.
Enjoy
Living in Perth, you will experience a
multicultural, cosmopolitan and safe
city, alive with arts, theatre, music,
food and shopping culture. Across the
city you will discover great locations
to meet up with friends and have a
good time – all easily accessible from
Curtin via public transport. You can
try restaurants and cafés from all
nationalities including Thai, Japanese,
Greek, Italian, Chinese, French and
contemporary Australian – everything
your taste buds desire.
In your spare time you can discover
Western Australia’s famous beaches
with clear water and white sand, which
can be found just 15 minutes from the
city centre. You can explore Kings Park
and be surrounded by Australian flora
and fauna. Discover Kings Park from a
bird’s eye view on the tree-top walk – a
glass walkway raised to the top of the
park’s tallest trees. On a sunny day,
pack a picnic and head to the banks of
the Swan River where you can hire a
kayak or try waterskiing.
Explore
There’s a lot to see and do in areas
outside of the Perth city centre. Take a
20 minute drive and explore Fremantle
– an exciting, creative city, full of cafés
and restaurants, seaside activities,
markets, and historical landmarks.
Fremantle is home to the ‘cappuccino
strip’ – a long stretch of cafés where you
are guaranteed a great coffee.
Catch a ferry over to Rottnest, a small
island 19 kilometres off the coast of
Perth. Swim, scuba dive, fish and go for
a leisurely bike ride while enjoying the
beautiful scenery. The island is home to
the quokka, a small marsupial unique

birds and marine life.

O
 ur research focuses
on four main areas of
expertise – Resources and

Sustainable Development.
Resources and Energy
Western Australia’s recent growth
in the resources and energy sectors
has resulted in the need for high
quality research in these fields. Curtin
has invested in a AUD$116 million
Resources and Chemistry Precinct
on its main Bentley campus and
maintains a significant presence with
its Western Australia School of Mines,
located in key mining areas. Curtin has
also participated heavily in national
initiatives in this arena such as the
Cooperative Research Centre Program,
supported by Western Australian Centres
of Excellence in Science and Innovation.
ICT and Emerging
Technologies
As the world becomes more reliant on
the use of technology to communicate
information, Curtin is expanding its
research in the area of Information
Communication Technology (ICT).
We are building strong foundations
with initiatives such as the Western
Australian Telecommunications
Research Institute (WATRI) and iVEC
supercomputer facility. We are also
noted for our strengths in emerging
technologies such as nanotechnology,
hosting the Western Australian
Nanochemistry Research Institute.

Exchange
Curtin offers three short term study
options – Student Exchange, Study
Abroad and Service Abroad.
Student Exchange
The Student Exchange program is a
non-award program you can study at
Curtin to gain academic credit towards
your home university degree. Students
who are presently studying at one
of Curtin’s official exchange partner
universities may apply for an exchange
to Curtin. The exchange may be for one
or two semesters, and is on a tuition
waiver basis.
Study Abroad
Study Abroad is similar to our exchange
program except you pay tuition for your
studies to Curtin. Additionally, Study
Abroad applicants are not required to
be currently attending one of Curtin’s
partner universities; you can be
attending any recognised educational
institution overseas.
Please note: due to visa restrictions
some international students may not be
granted a student visa to study abroad.
Service Abroad
The Service Abroad program is similar
to Study Abroad in that you take regular
classes at Curtin and pay tuition, but in
addition, you have a Community Service
component to your study program.

www.studyabroad.curtin.edu.au
undergraduate
courses
undergraduate degrees and entry requirements
Undergraduate Degrees
Bachelor Degrees
Courses leading to a first qualification,
such as a Bachelor degree award, are
referred to as undergraduate courses.
Bachelor degrees are usually of three or
four years’ duration.
Honours Program
As a natural extension to a Bachelor
degree, Curtin offers Honours programs
in most areas. A year of Honours study
consists of coursework at an advanced
level and research or project work. In
some courses the Honours program is
part of the final year of the
degree program.
Double Degrees
Curtin offers a number of double degree
courses. In such courses, students
study combined programs from two
compatible courses and complete the
requirements for two degrees in less
time than it would normally take to
complete the two degrees sequentially.
They require significantly more work
than a single degree, but the rewards
are seen to be much greater than those
from the completion of either one of the
single degrees. Double degrees are at
least four years in length.
Recognition of Prior Learning
Curtin recognises students’ relevant
prior studies or work experience,
allowing some students to finish their
degrees in a shorter period of time.
Recognition of Prior Learning (or
Advanced Standing) allows students to
take advantage of – and be rewarded for
– their previous studies.

more ways
to excel
postgraduate degrees
A 
t Curtin, you can
choose from a range of
postgraduate levels of
study. The progression of
study varies depending
on the entry requirements
set by each School. To find out the
progression of postgraduate study
for a particular program, contact
the International Office. Curtin’s
postgraduate programs include
the following:
Graduate Certificate
Graduate Certificate courses are
designed to develop skills in a
specialised area that may or may
not be directly related to that of an
undergraduate degree. Some Graduate
Certificates are specifically designed
for non-graduates and allow you to
progress towards further postgraduate
study. All of the programs are career
oriented, and usually take one semester.
Graduate Diploma
The Graduate Diploma is a specialised,
vocationally oriented award. Entry is
normally based on completion of a
Bachelor degree or Diploma, although
this can be in an unrelated field if you
have work experience in the field of
study. Graduate Diplomas introduce
graduates from disciplines outside
of their chosen higher degree to
postgraduate studies. Less academically
qualified applicants may still apply.
Graduate Diplomas are usually
completed in two semesters.
Postgraduate Diploma
Emphasis in a Postgraduate Diploma
is on developing greater knowledge
and skills through advanced studies
of methods, theories and strategies to
which you have already been exposed at
undergraduate level. You will maintain
a vocational emphasis through strong
links with industry. Completion of either
the Postgraduate Diploma or Graduate
Diploma usually takes two semesters,
and you may be offered Recognition of
Prior Learning (RPL) should you proceed
to a Master degree.
Graduate Entry Master
Graduate Entry Master courses provide
a fast-track learning experience for
students with a previous Bachelor
degree, and are available in
Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy,
Psychology and Accounting.

A School may accept you into a
Master degree provided that you hold
appropriate qualifications as decided by
the Head of School. Where appropriate,
provision may be made for you to
undertake a bridging course or other
preliminary work as a requirement for
entry to a Master degree program.
Mature-age students who do not have
formal entry qualifications may still
qualify for admission to the Master
program. You may be given the
opportunity to commence a preliminary
program to the Master program,
provided any relevant work experience
or previous academic achievement is
recognised by the Head of the School, as
equivalent to attaining graduate status.
If performance in this preliminary
program meets the required standard,
you may then qualify for admission to
the Master program.
A Master degree is usually completed
in three or four semesters, unless RPL
is awarded as a result of other relevant
studies. Some Master degrees also have
a work experience component.
Professional Master Degree
Professional Masters are intensive, fast-
track programs designed to enhance
the professional excellence of new
graduates or working professionals.
Each School sets RPL and credit for
work experience and postgraduate
qualifications, as well as specific entry
requirements. Professional Masters are
futurestudents.curtin.edu.au/fs/postgraduates
structured around trimesters and study
can be conducted by coursework or as
a research project and examination.
The course can usually be completed
in three semesters, but may vary
with the individual program. The
Professional Masters are well recognised
by employers as adding value to
existing skills, keeping employees at the
forefront of their professions.
Successful completion of a Professional
Master Degree may not allow students
entry to PhD studies.
Doctoral Degree
A student with a Master degree,
or a Bachelor degree with First or
Upper Second Class Honours may be
considered for admission to a Doctoral
degree. In exceptional cases, applicants
holding Bachelor Pass degrees may
also be considered for admission to
either Master or Doctoral degrees,
provided they can demonstrate superior
academic achievement, significant
work experience and the capacity to
undertake significant research.
As in any application for admission
into a higher degree, the approval of
both the Head of the relevant School
and the Graduate Studies Committee
is required. A Doctoral degree usually
requires at least three years of study.
Research doctorates may sometimes
be undertaken in a mixed mode – with
one or two semesters completed in
Perth, and the remainder in your home
country. This arrangement is project
dependent and must be negotiated on a
case-by-case basis with your supervisor.
Research & Coursework
Degrees
Research
For a Master degree to be considered a
research degree, at least two-thirds of
the required work towards the degree
must be pure research. The award of
Master by Research indicates that
you have contributed substantially to
the knowledge or understanding in a
field, and are capable of carrying out
independent research.
Applications for Masters by Research
or Doctor of Philosophy must include a
written two-page synopsis outlining the
parameters and purpose of the research
you wish to undertake. Please visit
www.research.curtin.edu.au/forms for
more information, and to download the
application form.
Although there may be a requirement
for some coursework units to be
completed, the main proportion of the
Curtin International Prospectus 2011 61
work is in the form of a thesis written
under the guidance of a supervisor.
Assessment takes place after
independent examiners mark the
finished thesis.
How to Write a Research Proposal
It is recommended that the research
proposal is no more than two pages
long. It should state your research topic
and outline your research plan and
the objectives you wish to meet. You
must also be able to show you have
sufficient experience and knowledge in
the selected area. The proposal should
be accompanied by at least 10
cited references.
Coursework
In a Master by Coursework, students
enrol in subjects and attend lectures
and tutorials. There will often be a minor
research component, but assessment is
progressive throughout the course.
