Curtin is ranked in the world’s top 1% of universities, in the current Academic Ranking of World Universities, and has campuses in Western Australia, Malaysia, Singapore, Dubai and Mauritius. Our excellent international reputation is also reflected in the global QS Stars University Ratings, in which we have the highest possible rating for a tertiary education institution – Five Stars Plus – with top ratings for internationalisation, innovation, teaching, research, facilities, inclusiveness and employability. At Curtin Perth, we recently established one of Australia’s largest university infrastructure precincts, ‘Curtin Exchange’. The precinct includes a new transport hub; learning, exhibition and retail spaces; a hotel and new accommodation that is perfect for international students.

Nearly 100 years ago, the idea for a floating university that would travel the world became the passionate pursuit of James Edwin Lough, a psychology professor at New York University. He believed changes needed to be made to traditional teaching methods of American universities and soon became a leader in a new educational movement. Travel and first-hand experience, he felt, must be part of every scholar’s education, and he set out to find others who shared this vision.
