“During my last year in high school, I started to worry about my future, about where I would study when I am done with secondary school. Whenever there is an education fair nearby, I would go along with my friends and family to spot out what college would be a good choice to go to. It seems that Curtin College has a remarkable reputation. I often hear good things about Curtin College from family, friends, and relatives. Even my agent recommended me Curtin College, since my Malaysian education could not get me straight to University, it would be a good option for me to go to Curtin College first and finish off my Bachelor in Curtin University.”

Perth is a fast growing city with a young, cosmopolitan outlook. Consistently ranked 21st in the most liveable cities in the world, Perth is renowned for its natural beauty, relaxed atmosphere and clean, open spaces and we experience more hours of sunshine than any other capital city in Australia.

The City of Perth is proud to be home to people from Asia, Africa, Europe and the Middle East, with each community contributing to Perth’s fascinating cultural diversity. A safe, clean and vibrant city, Perth offers a healthy, relaxed environment where you are made welcome and are able to excel in your studies while exploring this beautiful city.

Perth shares the same time zone as Singapore, Hong Kong, China and Malaysia. There is only a one-hour time difference between Perth and Indonesia, Thailand, Korea and Vietnam, making it easy to keep in touch with your friends and family whilst studying. As a major gateway to Asia, numerous daily flights depart from Perth directly to a number of Asia’s major centres.

The CBD is a bustling metropolis surrounded by shops, restaurants and cafés, all of which can be seen from Kings Park, which is a short walk away and one of the world’s largest inner city parks. Combined with Perth’s beautiful coastline and vibrant night-life, you can be sure there will be many fascinating experiences awaiting you.

The city boasts a strong, stable economy and historically has one of the lowest unemployment rates of all major Australian cities. Western Australia is a state renowned for

its mining exports and provides a substantial proportion of the world’s natural resources, which are a major contributor to the overall wealth and prosperity being enjoyed by West Australians.

CAN I WORK PART-TIME WHILE STUDYING? International students may work up to 40 hours per fortnight during study periods and unlimited hours during holidays. There are a number of part-time work opportunities both near the campus and around the city.

HOW DO I GET AROUND? Perth has a reliable and sophisticated public transport system. The city’s network of trains and buses enables students and new arrivals to get around quickly and cheaply. The West Australian government offers students a 40 per cent discount on all public transport within the Perth metropolitan area, a unique advantage when considering Perth as a study destination. Curtin College is located approximately 6km from the Perth CBD, and frequent buses from the campus easily connect students with the city, local shopping outlets and a range of other nearby facilities.

7.Transfer between registered providersThe Transfer between Registered Providers Policy stipulates that it is an Australian regulatory requirement that students must complete six months of their ‘principal course of study’ before changing or transferring between registered providers. As a result, Curtin College is unable to enrol students from another registered provider prior to the student completing six months of their principal course of study, unless a letter of release is provided by the original provider. Students who apply to transfer after accepting their enrolment offer, but before starting classes, will not be approved except in extreme circumstances such as: Inability to secure an Australian visa or for Compassionate and compelling circumstancesA student requesting a transfer must satisfy Curtin College management that they have a genuine and legitimate basis for such a request. Curtin College students who are unsuccessful in their request to transfer prior to completing six months of their principal course are entitled to appeal that decision. A letter of release will be provided where it is considered to be in the student’s best interest to transfer. Where a student is under 18 years of age, written confirmation is required from the student’s parent/legal guardian before the request can be processed. Students should familiarise themselves with all Curtin College Policies at www.curtincollege.edu.au/policies-curtin.
