Science and Engineering global experiences

With a variety of international experiences and global internship opportunities, Science and Engineering students gain real world experience and practical industry skills contributing to their studies.
“I went into this study tour without knowing any of the other students. In fact, I was the only Information Technology student in the group! However, I still felt included in the chemistry and environmental discussions, despite studying a different discipline. Keeping an open mind and learning even a little about the local culture provides valuable insight into their day-to-day life. As nerve-wracking as it can be to travel to a different country with people you don’t necessarily know, it’s important to remember that a study tour is a great opportunity to gain new perspectives and make friends you might not otherwise meet during your time at Curtin.”
