Curtin University Malaysia

Introduction

Curtin Sarawak’s modern campus has often been described a piece of Australia transplanted in Sarawak. Many equate it to stepping into another world. Thus is the uniqueness and allure of the campus.With the opening of the impressive 300-acre campus in the suburb of Senadin to the north of the city in 2002, Curtin established a firm foothold in Malaysia. Prior to that, for some three years, the fledgling campus occupied temporary premises at a secondary school at Riam Road in the city’s southern outskirts.

I landed in Miri safely. It is really beautiful and peaceful around the Curtin campus.
I want to thank you all for your kind support and unconditional help.
If you can, please encourage the new students to come here at Curtin. I am in love with Miri. It is the perfect place to study and enjoy at the same time. No distractions at all and the senior students, lectureres and university officers are very helpful.
If you require any help from my side, feel free to contact me.
