Want to make the most of your university studies? Looking for international experiences that can set you up for a global career?
Curtin’s Campus Transfer Program lets you begin your studies at one of our global campuses and then transfer to Curtin Australia – our main campus in Perth, Western Australia (WA). It’s a chance to build a global mindset, gain industry insights and advance your learning.
In this article, Prayuj Jodbosia shares his journey transferring from Curtin Mauritius to Curtin Australia.
Prayuj’s university journey began at Curtin Mauritius, where he enrolled in a Bachelor of Commerce, majoring in Business Law.
“I chose to study at Curtin University because it offers the perfect blend of academic excellence and practical experience,” explains Prayuj. “Curtin’s strong industry connections and the success stories of its graduates also stood out to me.”
Inspired to elevate his study experience, Prayuj decided to transfer from Curtin Mauritius to Curtin Australia.
“I chose to transfer to Curtin Australia because I wanted to study at the main Curtin campus!
“I know that at Curtin Australia, there are opportunities to connect with industry, access advanced facilities, and engage in a wide range of extracurricular activities.”
Studying in another country is the adventure of a lifetime, and support from Curtin staff, agents and scholarships is an important part of the journey.
“The transfer process was organised and efficient, from handling paperwork to providing information on accommodation and campus life,” Prayuj says. “The staff helped me feel prepared and confident.”
For Prayuj, the Curtin Global Talent Scholarship also offered an important source of support.
“Curtin’s scholarship eased my tuition fees so I could focus more on settling into life in Perth.”
With staff and scholarship support, Prayuj felt inspired to maintain his academic performance and embrace the opportunities available at Curtin Australia.
For Prayuj, the combination of theoretical concepts with practice-based learning makes studying at Curtin Australia so rewarding for his future career.
“I love that we can learn new concepts and then apply them directly to real-world situations,” he explains.
“Through industry-focused learning, case studies and hands-on projects, I am gaining experience that applies directly to professional settings.”
The collaborative classes also stand out to Prayuj.
“The diverse perspectives from classmates and the guidance from experienced lecturers also help me develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills – all of which are essential for my future career.”
And thanks to the aligned calendar, courses and curriculum across all Curtin campuses, students like Prayuj can transfer without disrupting their studies.
Prayuj describes studying in Australia as a welcome change.
“What I have enjoyed most about Curtin Australia is the welcoming atmosphere created by the people, lecturers and vibrant campus.
“There are always events and activities happening, which makes studying here so exciting. I’ve made new friends and truly feel part of the Curtin community.”
So, what is it actually like to live in Perth, WA? Prayuj says, “Living here is truly special because of its balance of city life, nature and culture.”
“There’s always something to do – like visiting Fremantle, food-hopping in Victoria Park, and roaming Elizabeth Quay. I enjoy catching the ferry to South Perth for a change of scenery, relaxing at Kings Park, or exploring the many beautiful destinations across WA.
“Perth truly feels like home.”
Perth is the closest major Australian city to Mauritius, with direct flights making travel quick and convenient. And with Mauritius only four hours behind Perth (three in summer), it’s easy to keep in touch with loved ones.
Reflecting on his journey, Prayuj notes the personal and professional benefits of transferring to Curtin Australia.
“I’ve connected with industry, built global networks, accessed advanced facilities and engaged in many extracurricular activities,” he reflects.
“Once you arrive, you’ll find a supportive community, friendly staff and endless opportunities.”
His advice to future transfer students? “Trust the process and go for it.”
