Curtin Singapore is the Singaporean campus of Curtin University, a public university in Australia.[4] It offers undergraduate and postgraduate degree programs in healthcare, computational sciences, commerce and communications with plans to expand to science and engineering.[5][6][7][8] The campus also offers a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) higher degree by research program.[9] 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.[10][11]
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.[12] 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.[13][14] In additional, students from other universities and Curtin campuses can also apply to study abroad at Curtin Singapore.[15] 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.[8]
Curtin Singapore is operated directly under Curtin University, which is generally not the case for most private education providers in Singapore.[16][17] This means that study programs are provided directly by Curtin University and not an external provider.[18] While Curtin Singapore graduates generally have higher employment rates than other private universities in Singapore,[19] it is still lower than public institutions such as the National University of Singapore and Nanyang Technological University.[20] The university follows a trimester model, allowing students to complete a bachelors program in 2 years.[21]
In Australia, the university is known for having high employer satisfaction rates.[22][23][24] 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.[25] The university also ranks within the top 200 universities according to the Quacquarelli Symonds and U.S. News university ranking publications,[26][27] while ranking somewhat lower on others.[28][29][30]
