Campus life

With such a large international student cohort, Curtin provides a range of support services to make student life as fun, safe and inclusive as possible.

Being based on a fully-equipped campus, complete with shops, restaurants, entertainment and learning facilities, Curtin University provides a safe space for students to embrace their independence whilst maintaining security.

This is why the institution operates a no tolerance policy towards any sort of harassment, 24/7 safety patrols and even a bespoke safety app that students and staff can use to get in contact with the security team at any time.

The dedicated wellbeing service ensures that you stay happy and healthy throughout what will be a challenging yet rewarding experience. Through this service you can access counselling if things get too much, or simply drop into the Wellbeing Advisory Service for impartial advice during stressful periods.

“Everything you could need is on campus,” said Emilie, from Mauritius. Emilie was worried about moving from her small home country to a massive city. But she claims that the campus-feel and 24/7 security team reassured her she was safe.

Another benefit of living on campus is that you get to be part of an inclusive community, where there is always something going on. Choose from a huge range of social clubs and sports teams to keep you busy outside of lectures, or embrace the on-campus food market for a special treat.

“If you want to study in Australia, come here. You will have fun and meet new friends and expand your knowledge. There are a lot of things you can do here,” said Gonzalo Ceron, Ecuador, Master of Petroleum Engineering, Curtin University.
