Collaborative Course and Unit Partnerships @ Curtin

Within Australia

Collaborative Awards

Collaborative Awards are specific courses jointly offered between Curtin and other Tertiary Institutions (primarily other Western Australian public universities), although in some instances, they may be offered between Curtin and a professional body, for example, CPA Australia.

In most cases, a student nominates one enrolling institution, which admits them and grants their award. Participating institutions provide additional units, on a cross-institutional basis towards that award, with the logos of all participating institutions normally appearing on the final award.

Open Universities Australia

Open Universities Australia(Open Unis) was initially established by the Commonwealth and is now operated as a private company owned by a number of Australian universities including Curtin. Open Universities provides an alternative pathway to university studies with greater flexibility than on campus or distance education programs. There are no entry requirements, no quotas on places and students pay a fee for service.

Open Universities Australia advances higher education in Australia by providing students with choices in how they access learning opportunities.
