Offshore Programs

Through Curtin's long-standing expertise in the provision of international education, and its partnerships with institutions in countries such as China, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Mauritius, Sri Lanka and Vietnam, it is possible to undertake all or part of some undergraduate and postgraduate courses in these countries. Programs can be completed on a full-time or part-time basis. Offshore students have the same status as students studying at Curtin in Australia: they study the same core subjects, use the same Curtin materials, undertake the same exams, are assessed against the same levels of performance and are granted the same full academic status and recognition.
