If you’re fascinated by everything around you, we can help you to develop the knowledge & skills you’ll need to make tomorrow better.

We acknowledge the First Nations people on whose lands Curtin University, Perth Campus sits, the Whadjuk people of the Nyungar Nation. We pay our respects to their Elders and Senior Knowledge Holders past and present, and acknowledge that Indigenous Australians are the first Scientists, Technologists, Engineers and Mathematicians (STEM). They used STEM principles and design for over 65,000 years and continue to contribute to science and engineering in partnerships with the Faculty, and for this we are grateful.
