Curtin University of Technology is Western Australia's largest university with over 31,000 students, nearly 11,000 of those offshore and onshore international students and nearly 1000 research students. We take our name from the former Prime Minister of Australia from 1941-1945, John Curtin.

Curtin University of Technology is a world-class, internationally focused institution. A culturally diverse university, we foster tolerance and encourage the development of the individual. Our programs centre around the provision of knowledge and skills to meet industry and workplace standards.
