\u201cThis scholarship presents some of our outstanding students in Malaysia with an opportunity to broaden their horizons and study in Perth,\u201d Professor Kerr said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is opportunities like this that help current Curtin students and exchange students to develop a better understanding of each other\u2019s culture and tradition.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Engineering student, Su Ning Ling, said her 12 months at Curtin\u2019s Bentley Campus had been the most memorable in her time as a student.<\/p>\n

\u201cLiving overseas and experiencing the opportunities provided by the WA State Government and Curtin has strengthened my determination to reach my career goals.\u201d<\/p>\n
