“This is my time to shine.” ✨
In the latest #MyCurtinAdvice, we meet Bhoomi, an IT and technology student who moved to Australia and embraced a whole new perspective—making the most of every moment since.
Meet Aquib, who is currently on an exciting academic journey as a first-year Master’s student in Professional Engineering (Mining) at Curtin Kalgoorlie. With a solid foundation in mining engineering from his undergraduate studies in India, Aquib’s path is defined by a blend of academic excellence, personal passion, and a significant scholarship opportunity that has brought him to Australia. ✨
Growing up in a small mining town called Joda in India, Aquib was surrounded by the mining industry from an early age. His father had worked for the same mining organisation for over 35 years, inspiring Aquib’s career choice. Despite his mother’s wish for him to pursue medicine, Aquib’s natural inclination towards engineering, evidenced by his childhood fascination with tools and opening up and fixing small machines, guided him towards this field.
Aquib’s transition from his undergraduate studies to his Master’s program at Curtin was marked by his undergraduate performance in India with a commendable GPA and a clear love for his degree, doors opened for Aquib to a prestigious scholarship program thanks to the Government of Odisha sponsorship. Out of a competitive pool of candidates, and many rounds of interviews and tests, Aquib was selected for this esteemed opportunity abroad! ✈️
“To be honest, I had a dream to study abroad. After completing my bachelor’s, my plan was to get into mining industry, and then the government came up with this initiative and they proposed this plan, and I was selected. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity.”
Although it would be hard to impact Aquib’s natural go with the flow and positive attitude, the first semester of his Master’s program presented unique set of hurdles, including adjusting to the extreme climate differences, and making it through his first 47-degree day! However, his background in a similar mining town helped ease this transition. Throughout his transition, Aquib has appreciated the structured and well-organised academic environment allowing him to balance his coursework with extracurricular involvement.

Here’s what you missed at the Go Local: Regional Road Trip by @mikaelazed 🎥
This elective took students on an incredible journey through regional WA, visiting places like Pingelly, York, Kulin, Corrigin, and Katter Kich (Wave Rock).
Students were able to talk directly with locals about community-driven initiatives and projects. Plus were able to immerse themselves in Wheatbelt ran business’ and life—op shopping, learning about the power of connected communities, meeting the team behind the Kulin Bush Races, attending ag shows, stargazing, visiting schools, volunteering, and of course, playing plenty of board games!
Through this immersive experience, students engaged in place-based regeneration, collaborating directly with regional communities to co-create strategies that contribute to regenerative futures where people, species, and the planet can thrive.

Meet Laura, currently pursuing a Master of Speech Pathology, with a diverse background in experimental physics, classical singing, and a deep commitment to sustainability. 🌿
Laura’s path to speech pathology reflects her multifaceted interests, blending passions that have positioned her as an exceptional student with aspirations beyond traditional career boundaries. Her academic journey began 15 years ago with a degree in experimental physics, while she simultaneously nurtured her talent for classical singing, earning a Bachelor of Music from WAAPA. Laura also studied Italian, but despite her varied academic pursuits, she felt something was missing. This led her to speech pathology, a field that unexpectedly connected her interests in science, music, and language. Reflecting on her high school yearbook, she recalls writing, “I want to be a singing scientist.” Speech pathology became the perfect confluence of her passions. 🎤👩🔬
Since starting her master’s, Laura’s involvement in Curtin’s Sustainability Collective @sustainablecollectivecurtin has been a significant part of her uni experience. Her passion for environmental issues led her to Curtin’s Carbon Literacy Program, where she focused on minimising her carbon footprint and reducing electronic waste. Laura’s experience with Scitech, where she developed her science communication skills, made it easy for her to co-facilitate the Carbon Literacy program. She has traveled to regional and remote communities across Western Australia, delivering science shows—fueling her interest in working in rural settings.

“Having fun doing things that help you learn and grow is really one of the keys to a happy life” 🌿
Meet Matt, a Master of Professional Engineering student at the Curtin Kalgoorlie campus.

Meet Astrid, a creative and passionate Master of Design student, with a strong background in graphic design and a knack for innovative thinking, Astrid is ready to make her mark in the world of design ✨
Originally from Indonesia, Astrid started her tertiary education journey by studying graphic design, in Jakarta. Influenced by her desire for a practical, functional field that combined creativity with utility. She has always been drawn to design by her appreciation for well-crafted packaging and the functional beauty of design elements in everyday life. Once she completed her Bachelor of Graphic Design in Indonesia, Astrid was ready for the next step, however, didn’t know exactly what that was. She started to investigate studying abroad and landed on a Masters of Design through coursework instead of PhD, so that she could directly apply her specialisation and begin using her natural design thinking beyond research and coursework.
In pursuing a Master of Design, Astrid found the freedom to explore various facets of design beyond her undergraduate specialisation. The program’s flexibility was a significant draw for Astrid, who appreciated the freedom to dive into various design techniques and projects. This change allowed her to engage more deeply with her lecturers and explore ideas more freely, tailoring her learnings to her passions. Astrid advises embracing the flexibility of a design program. She highlights the importance of balancing creative freedom with acquiring technical skills, even if they are not the primary focus of the course. 💻 🌟
