Research and
Development
Be involved in advanced research. Engage with industry professionals.
Work with the latest technologies and facilities.
Develop solutions to global problems.
At Curtin we place a strong focus on
research and are involved in significant
projects with global impact. We are
continuously creating links with industry
and working with organisations to create
solutions to international problems.
Perth’s strong economic position has created
high demand for development in the resources
and mining industries. At Curtin, we have
joined with significant industry bodies to create
research centres and institutes that undertake
important research into these growing fields.
Over recent years we have made significant
developments in the area of research and
development. For example:
• Curtin is the only university in the world that
has had two recipients of the prestigious
Outstanding Contributions to Science
Education Training through Research Award,
awarded by the National Association for
Research in Science Teaching.
• The new AUD $100 million Minerals
and Chemistry Research and Education
Precinct is being constructed at Curtin,
which will be the largest facility for
research and educational development
in the southern hemisphere.
• The Curtin Health Innovation Research
Institute is developing research programs
that respond to the shifting health care
patterns of ageing populations, and of
societies that suffer from chronic illnesses
such as diabetes, obesity, cancer and
cardiovascular diseases.
• The University has been honoured as one
of only five new international Academic
Partners of the US-based Alcoa Foundation’s
Conservation and Sustainability Program.
Curtin was the sole Australian research
organisation considered to have the expertise
to fill the program’s aims.
• Curtin’s Australian Sustainable Development
Institute (ASDI) engages in research which
integrates environmental, social, economic
and governance decisions contributing
to sustainable development. Research
opportunities are available within the Curtin
University Sustainability Policy Institute,
Centre of Excellence in Cleaner Production,
Curtin Water Quality Research Centre and
many other specialist research centres.
• The Woodside Research Facility (WRF) was
established in 2000 and is one of the great
success stories in Australian oil and gas
industry research. WRF has a strong track
record with industry, and has a list
of achievements that include discovery
and development of novel technology,
world-class industrial pilot scale
gas-testing infrastructure, and close

Enjoy the sunshine. Live in a vibrant and safe environment.
Relax at the beach. Take advantage of the state’s economic growth.
Discover Australia’s unique landscapes and wildlife.
Experience the Australian lifestyle while studying
at Curtin. The University is located in Perth, the
capital city of Western Australia. A fast growing
city with a strong economy, Perth offers you a
vibrant and stimulating living environment.
Be Connected
Perth is a major gateway city to Asia. Located
within the same time zone as Hong Kong,
Beijing, Singapore and Malaysia, major airlines
fly between the cities many times a day.
Western Australia has strong relationships with
neighbouring countries and there has been a
recent interest from Asian investors in Western
Australia’s engineering and mining industries.
Experience Perth
Living in Perth, you will experience a multicultural,
cosmopolitan and safe city, alive with arts,
theatre, music, food and shopping culture. Across
the city you will discover great locations to meet
up with friends and have a good time – all easily
accessible from Curtin via public transport. You
can try restaurants and cafés from all nationalities
including Thai, Japanese, Greek, Italian, Chinese,
French and contemporary Australian – everything
your taste buds desire.
Discover Western Australia’s famous beaches
with clear water and white sand, which can
be found just 15 minutes from the city centre.
Explore Kings Park and be surrounded by
Australian flora and fauna. You can discover
Kings Park from a bird’s eye view on the
tree-top walk – a glass walkway raised to the
top of the park’s tallest trees. Grab a picnic and
head to the banks of the Swan River where you
can hire a kayak or try waterskiing.
Explore Further
Take a 20 minute drive from the city centre, and
explore Fremantle – an exciting, creative city,
full of cafés and restaurants, seaside activities,
markets, and historical landmarks. Fremantle is
home to the ‘cappuccino strip’ – a long stretch of
cafés where you are guaranteed a great coffee.
Catch a ferry over to Rottnest, a small island
19 kilometres off the coast of Perth. Swim,
scuba dive, fish and go for a leisurely bike
ride while enjoying the beautiful scenery. The
island is home to the quokka, a small marsupial
unique to the island, as well as a large variety of
birds and marine life.
A few hours drive south of Perth is a vast area
of green bush land, wineries, amazing beaches
and interesting towns. Margaret River, a coastal
town located three hours south of Perth, is well
known as a great location for holiday makers.
You can sample local wines and delicious food
at a winery before heading to the beach to
watch a local surfing competition.
City on the Move
Perth is a city of opportunity. Recently
experiencing a rapid growth in industry, the
city has a very strong economy and one of
the lowest unemployment rates of all major
Australian cities. This growth is mostly due
to the state’s resources and mining boom,
resulting in high values of exports and local
and foreign investment in industry. Over the
past six years, the amount invested by Western
Australian businesses has tripled. At the
end of 2007 there were AUD$100 billion’s
worth of investment projects still to be
undertaken, and over the next 20 years,
public and private investment in infrastructure
is estimated to increase.
Recent plans for development and expansion of
the Central Business District make Perth a great
place to study and work.
Enjoy the Sun
Perth has more hours of sunshine than
any other Australian capital city. Perth’s
climate means the winters are mild and the
summers are hot.

Finances
Experience living in Australia. Plan a budget for your
stay in Perth. Work part time or during your holidays.
Enrol your children in an Australian school.

Getting Started
To get the best start from your stay in Australia,
we recommend you bring at least AUD$700
and have access to another AUD$2,000 during
your first week. You will need this to pay bond
money (property security) and rent in advance.
Costs associated with electricity, gas and
telephone services are usually paid later.
Your living costs will depend on your taste,
interests and financial position. You should plan
a budget to suit your needs, but make sure it
is flexible enough to allow for changes. If you
want to buy a car make sure you consider
additional expenses such as petrol, insurance
and licence costs.
Additional Study Costs
While studying at Curtin, you may need to
purchase items such as text books and
stationery, so you should plan ahead to
cover these costs. You should budget an
extra AUD$350 per year for items such as
photocopying, course-related incidental
costs and protective clothing. Textbooks
and reference books will cost an additional
AUD$150 – $400 each semester.
The cost of books can vary considerably,
depending on the course and units chosen.
For cheaper, second-hand books, try the
Curtin Second-hand Bookshop.
School-age Dependants
Dependants of international students may
be enrolled in either government (public) or
non-government (private) schools in Western
Australia. A visa for dependant(s) must be
obtained through the Department of Immigration
and Citizenship (DIAC) or a representative.
There are different schooling arrangements for
dependants of undergraduate, postgraduate,
Masters, PhD students and for some
scholarship students.
For more information visit our website
www.international.curtin.edu.au/depart/
dependants.cfm or contact the International
Sponsored Student Unit at
issu@curtin.edu.au or +61 8 9266 3348.
Please note: If your child is enrolled in a
government public school and requires English,
learning difficulty or disability support, you
may need to pay AUD$2,000 or more per child,
per year. These associated costs are your
responsibility and will not be paid by Curtin
or the Department of Education and Training.
We recommend that your child has English
language training prior to arrival in Perth.
Working in Australia
While completing your studies at Curtin, you
can work part time to gain important industry
experience, meet new people and get involved
in life in Australia. Your student visa gives you
permission to work in Australia once you have
commenced your course. You are allowed to work
a maximum of 20 hours per week during semester
and unlimited hours during holiday periods.
Visa Conditions
While studying at Curtin there are certain
conditions you must follow to ensure you do
not have to pay additional costs. You must be
enrolled internally on a full-time basis and failing
a unit may result in the non-completion of your
course within the normal duration, as not all
units are available each semester.
If you fail units and can’t enrol in any units in a
given semester, you may have to return home
and re-apply for admission, which may incur
additional costs for tuition fees, visa application
and living expenses.
Health Insurance
All international students are required to obtain
Health Insurance to cover their stay in Australia.
You should consider these costs when planning
your budget.

a Community Service component to
your study program.

Undergraduate
Courses
Find the course you want to study. Study in a
multicultural student environment. Learn through
hands-on experience. Interact with industry
professionals. Start your career.
Standard Undergraduate Entry Requirements
Bachelor Degrees
Courses leading to a first qualification, such
as a Bachelor degree award, are referred to as
undergraduate courses. Bachelor degrees are
usually of three or four years’ duration.
Honours Program
As a natural extension to a Bachelor degree,
Curtin offers Honours programs in most areas.
A year of Honours study consists of coursework
at an advanced level and research or project
work. In some courses the Honours program is
part of the final year of the degree program.
Double Degrees
Curtin offers a number of double degree
courses. In such courses, students study
combined programs from two compatible
courses and complete the requirements for two
degrees in less time than it would normally take
to complete the two degrees sequentially. They
require significantly more work than a single
degree, but the rewards are seen to be much
greater than those from the completion of either
one of the single degrees. Double degrees are
at least four years in length.
Recognition of Prior Learning
Curtin recognises students’ relevant prior
studies or work experience, allowing some
students to finish their degrees in a shorter
period of time. Recognition of Prior Learning
(or Advanced Standing) allows students to take
advantage of – and be rewarded for – their
previous studies.
Admission
For admission to Curtin, applicants must satisfy
minimum academic entry as well as English
competency requirements. Entry is competitive
and levels higher than the minimum may be
required for admission to some courses.
As all courses are taught in English, applicants
will need to meet Curtin’s English language
requirement. Any one of the tests in the
following table will be accepted as satisfying
Curtin’s language requirement. However, some
courses may require a higher score for English.
Please refer to individual course listing for
more information.

Courses

Learn and work with leaders in the industry. Increase your skill
and knowledge base. Advance your career.
research.curtin.edu.au
At Curtin, you can choose to complete a
range of postgraduate levels of study. The
progression of study varies depending on the
entry requirements set by each School. To find
out the progression of postgraduate study for
a particular program, contact the International
Office. Curtin’s postgraduate programs include
the following:
Graduate Certificate
Graduate Certificate courses are designed
to develop skills in a specialised area that
may or may not be directly related to that of
an undergraduate degree. Some Graduate
Certificates are specifically designed for
non-graduates and allow you to progress
towards further postgraduate study. All of the
programs are career-oriented, and usually
take one semester.
Graduate Diploma
The Graduate Diploma is a specialised,
vocationally oriented award. Entry is normally
based on completion of a Bachelor degree or
Diploma, although this can be in an unrelated
field if you have work experience in the
field of study. Graduate Diplomas introduce
graduates from disciplines outside of their
chosen higher degree to postgraduate studies.
Less academically qualified applicants may
still apply. Graduate Diplomas are usually
completed in two semesters.
Postgraduate Diploma
Emphasis in a Postgraduate Diploma is on
developing greater knowledge and skills
through advanced studies of methods, theories
and strategies to which you have already
been exposed at undergraduate level. You will
maintain a vocational emphasis through strong
links with industry. Completion of either the
Postgraduate Diploma or Graduate Diploma
usually takes two semesters, and you may be
offered Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
should you proceed to a Master degree.
Graduate Entry Master
Graduate Entry Master courses provide a fast-
track learning experience for students with a
previous Bachelor degree, and are available
in Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy,
Psychology and Accounting.
58
Master Degree
A School may accept you into a Master
degree provided that you hold appropriate
qualifications as decided by the Head of
School. Where appropriate, provision may be
made for you to undertake a bridging course
or other preliminary work as a requirement for
entry to a Master degree program.
Mature-age students who do not have
formal entry qualifications may still qualify for
admission to the Master program. You may
be given the opportunity to commence a
preliminary program to the Master program,
provided any relevant work experience or
previous academic achievement is recognised
by the Head of the School, as equivalent to
attaining graduate status. If performance in
this preliminary program meets the required
standard, you may then qualify for admission to
the Master program.
A Master degree is usually completed
in three or four semesters, unless RPL
is awarded as a result of other relevant
studies. Some Master degrees also
have a work experience component.
Professional Master Degree
Professional Masters are intensive, fast-
track programs designed to enhance the
professional excellence of new graduates
or working professionals. Each School sets
RPL and credit for work experience and
postgraduate qualifications, as well as specific
entry requirements. Professional Masters are
structured around trimesters and study can
be conducted by coursework or as a research
project and examination. The course can usually
be completed in three semesters, but may vary
with the individual program. The Professional
Masters are well recognised by employers
as adding value to existing skills, keeping
employees at the forefront of their professions.
Successful completion of a Professional
Master Degree may not allow students entry
to PhD studies.
Doctoral Degree
A student with a Master degree, or a Bachelor
degree with First or Upper Second Class
Honours may be considered for admission
to a Doctoral degree. In exceptional cases,
applicants holding Bachelor Pass degrees
may also be considered for admission to either
Master or Doctoral degrees, provided they can
demonstrate superior academic achievement,
significant work experience and the capacity to
undertake significant research.
As in any application for admission into a higher
degree, the approval of both the Head of the
relevant School and the Graduate Studies
Committee is required. A Doctoral degree usually
requires at least three years of study. Research
doctorates may sometimes be undertaken in
a mixed mode – with one or two semesters
completed in Perth, and the remainder in your
home country. This arrangement is project
dependent and must be negotiated on a case-
by-case basis with your supervisor.
Research & Coursework Degrees
Research
For a Master degree to be considered a
research degree, at least two-thirds of the
required work towards the degree must
be pure research. The award of Master by
Research indicates that you have contributed
substantially to the knowledge or understanding
in a field, and are capable of carrying out
independent research.
Applications for Masters by Research or Doctor
of Philosophy must include a written two-page
synopsis outlining the parameters and purpose
of the research you wish to undertake. Please
visit www.research.curtin.edu.au/forms/forms.
cfm for more information, and to download the
application form.
Although there may be a requirement for some
coursework units to be completed, the main
proportion of the work is in the form of a thesis
written under the guidance of a supervisor.
Assessment takes place after independent
examiners mark the finished thesis.
How to Write a Research Proposal
It is recommended that the research proposal
is no more than two pages long. It should state
your research topic and outline your research
plan and the objectives you wish to meet. You
must also be able to show you have sufficient
experience and knowledge in the selected area.
The proposal should be accompanied by at
least 10 cited references.
Coursework
In a Master by Coursework, students
enrol in subjects and attend lectures and
tutorials. There will often be a minor research
component, but assessment is progressive
throughout the course.
