Curtin Singapore is situated at 90 and 92 Jalan Rajah off Balestier Road.
Curtin Singapore was officially opened on the 13th of November 2008 by Singapore's Senior Minister of State for trade and industry, S.Iswaran and by the Australian High Commissioner to Singapore, Doug Chester[1]
Curtin University has been actively present in Singapore since 1986 through the establishment of links with reputable private educational providers in Singapore, namely 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 awarded through these partners.
Curtin's new 60,000 square feet (5,600 m2) campus in Singapore allows the University to be able to provide courses on its own merit. The overall investment in this venture is expected to be S$40 Million.[2]
Curtin Singapore's operations began in December 2008, with an initial enrolment of 900 students. This included new and continuing students who were enrolled in Curtin's courses through the University's Partners in Singapore[2].
Curtin Singapore initially offered courses from the university's school of business and eventually expanded to include Mass Communications, Occupational Health and Safety and nursing. Future plans include courses from the school of Engineering.[3]
The courses offered by Curtin Singapore campus follows the identical structure and curriculum content as those offered at the main Bentley Campus in Perth, Western Australia. During their course of studies, students have the discretion to transfer to other Curtin campuses in Sydney or Perth to gain further international exposure and widen their perspectives.
