Curtin University is a future-focused university based in the scenic city of Perth, Australia, with additional campuses in regional Western Australia, Malaysia, Singapore, Dubai and Mauritius.

We were established in 1966 as the ‘Western Australian Institute of Technology’, before gaining university status and changing our name to ‘Curtin’ in 1987 in honour of the former Australian Prime Minister.

Greater Curtin
Drawing inspiration from university cities around the world, we're transforming Curtin Perth into a vibrant social, academic and commercial hub.

The historic Fremantle Markets are a major tourist attraction as is the Swan Valley with its fusion of wine, food, art, scenery and nature.
