Curtin English

Curtin English is a language school at Curtin University that offers English language courses tailored to suit your needs.

Our language school has been operating for more than fifty years and has an outstanding graduation rate. The vast majority of our students successfully complete their courses and move on to university.

If you’re planning to study at Curtin University or Curtin College, your English courses can be packaged with your chosen undergraduate, postgraduate, or diploma program to streamline your student visa application and get you to university in one easy path.  

Study your way

Our classes are designed to be highly interactive; you’ll learn through active participation in collaborative exercises designed to challenge your thinking. You’ll also have access to Curtin’s vibrant, inclusive campus and facilities to help you make the most of your student experience.

General English is available to study face-to-face via Navitas English at their Perth CBD campus. Both Gateway English and English Language Bridging are available to study in-person on the Curtin University Perth Campus.

Accepted English tests

To determine the right pathway for you, we will use your English proficiency test scores. We accept: International English Language Testing System (IELTS), Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), Pearson Test of English (PTE), Linguaskill and other valid English language tests.

Begin your application directly to Curtin by creating an account and logging into our online application portal to apply for an undergraduate or postgraduate program. 

When completing your application, you will be asked the following question: “Should you not meet the English language requirements for your course, would you like to be considered for a Curtin English pathway?”  

By responding yes, you will automatically receive a packaged offer with the required Curtin English pathway based on the English test results you submit during your application.  This is where you can submit your Password results or results from any of the accepted English tests.  You will only receive a packaged offer if a Curtin English pathway is required. 

If your would like to study our ELB course without a pathway to Curtin, you’re living overseas, and have not yet enrolled in studies in Australia, please enquire about the availability of our engaging online course.

Fees

Your Curtin English tuition fees must be paid in full by your payment due date outlined on your eInvoice or the Academic Calendar.
