Universities in Western Australia

There are five universities in Western Australia, one of which – the University of Western Australia – is a member of the Group of Eight universities.

1. Curtin University

   Curtin University is a large multi-cultural university.  It has a strong commitment to international engagement with Australia's third largest international student population.  It maintains campuses in Malaysia and Singapore while also conducting face-to-face teaching in a number of countries.  This cultural diversity adds a rich and valuable dimension to its campus atmosphere and also prepares the graduates to live and work in an increasingly global environment.   

    

   Curtin is also fundamentally committed to providing regional education within Western Australia through a number of campuses and education centres spread across the state but also has a campus in Sydney where it offers a range of business courses. Curtin University recently introduced undergraduate medicine.
