About the Global Scholars Program
Curtin’s Global Scholars Program lets you earn an Australian degree while developing a global perspective, cross-cultural skills, and leadership abilities.
You’ll start at a Curtin global campus in Malaysia, Singapore, Mauritius, Dubai, or Colombo, then transfer to Curtin Perth in your second year to complete your degree and pursue a global career.

Hear from one of our transfer students
I began my studies at Curtin Singapore and came to Curtin Perth in the second year of my course. I was excited because I’d heard great things about the Perth campus! Since it is Curtin’s main campus, it is extremely big and has many facilities for students.
Throughout my studies, I was able to group up with students from different countries, and this put my leadership skills to the test. I loved it and I’m glad that I got to experience it!
