History

Curtin's foray into Singapore for the past decade was through the establishment of links with Private Course Providers in Singapore, namely the Singapore Human Resource Institute, Marketing Institute of Singapore, and the Singapore Institute of Materials Management, and Curtin Degrees have been awarded through these schools. Curtin's new campus in Singapore allows the University to be able to provide courses on its own merit. The overall cost of the University's investment in this venture is expected to be S$40 Million.
