  To keep it brief, I hope my experience of the Admissions office is not typical.I wasted approx 2 months trying to apply for a post Graduate course ,talking to a different person each time who had no idea what I was taking about. Incredibly frustrating particularly as I had even been a student before in the past. The Transcript of training I was asked for couldn't be supplied by the overseas uni I trained at because they didn't go back as far as when I finished (I'm so old at 40 ish years)...Was told my case would be 'externally assessed '.Result: They couldn't make a decision so I withdrew my application to the relief of the people in the office who were happy I went away! The level of customer service was beyond poor,not one person I dealt with had a genuine manner and willingness to help. Happily taken my money elsewhere and could not recommend this university for anyone who doesn't fit all their neat boxes.

  Curtin was conferred university status after legislation was passed by the Parliament of Western Australia in 1986. Since then, the university has been expanding its presence and has campuses in Singapore, Malaysia, Dubai and Mauritius. It has ties with 90 exchange universities in 20 countries. The University comprises five main faculties with over 95 specialists centres. It had a Sydney campus from 2005 to 2016; on 17 September 2015, Curtin University Council made a decision to close its Sydney campus by early 2017.
  
  Curtin University was established as Australia’s first university of technology and is a member of Australian Technology Network (ATN). Curtin University is active in research in a range of academic and practical fields, including Resources and Energy (e.g., petroleum gas), Information and Communication, Health, Ageing and Well-being (Public Health), Communities and Changing Environments, Growth and Prosperity and Creative Writing.
  
  It is the only Western Australian university to produce a PhD recipient of the AINSE gold medal, which is the highest recognition for PhD-level research excellence in Australia and New Zealand.
  
  Curtin has become active in research and partnerships overseas, particularly in mainland China. It is involved in a number of business, management, and research projects, particularly in supercomputing, where the university participates in a tri-continental array with nodes in Perth, Beijing, and Edinburgh. Western Australia has become an important exporter of minerals, petroleum and natural gas.[8] The Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao visited the Woodside-funded hydrocarbon research facility during his visit to Australia in 2005.
  
  History
  
  Curtin University was founded in 1966 as the Western Australian Institute of Technology (WAIT). Its nucleus comprised the tertiary programs of the Perth Technical College, which opened in 1900.
  
  Curtin University's current site in Bentley was selected in 1962, and officially opened in 1966. The first students enrolled the following year.
  
  In 1969, three more institutions were merged with WAIT: the Western Australian School of Mines (opened in 1902), the Muresk Agricultural College (opened in 1926), and the Schools of Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy (in operation since the 1950s at Shenton Park).[10] Between 1966 and 1976 WAIT experienced an expansion from 2,000 to 10,000 students.
  
  In December 1986 the Western Australian Institute of Technology (WAIT) was made a university, under provisions of the WA Institute of Technology Amendment Act 1986. Curtin University took its name from the former Prime Minister of Australia, John Curtin. Curtin accepted its first students as a university in 1987.
  
  In 2005, Curtin and Murdoch University were engaged in a feasibility study into the possibility of a merger.[13] However, on 7 November 2005, both institutions announced that a merger would not be undertaken.
  
  In 2009, Curtin became the first university in the Australian Technology Network to be listed on the Academic Ranking of World Universities of research universities.[15]
  
  In 2010, Curtin dropped the "of Technology" suffix, from then operating as "Curtin University". The legal name remains Curtin University of Technology until the Act under which it operates is amended by the Western Australian parliament.

  Pretty decent uni, I enjoy studying here if and when I do prefer a change in studying environment.
  Would be good if they had more than one library though, seems way too packed sometimes.
