Featured Courses

Bachelor of Engineering Chemical Engineering Major (Honours)

Duration: 4 Years Intakes: Feb, Jul

In the general Chemical Engineering stream you will examine the development, design and operation of processes for the extraction, conversion and purification of a wide range of materials. This stream covers the theory and applications of fluid flow, energy transfer, separation and chemical reaction for the synthesis, design, control and optimisation of general chemical processes.

Double Degree
You can study the following double degrees:

Bachelor of Engineering (Chemical Engineering), Bachelor of Commerce (majoring in Economics, Finance, Management or Accounting)
Bachelor of Engineering (Chemical Engineering), Bachelor of Science (majoring in Chemistry or Extractive Metallurgy)

Professional accreditation/recognition
Graduates fulfil the stage one competencies required by Engineers Australia (EAust) as the pathway to chartered-engineer status (CPEng), a benchmark in professional engineering.

The course is also recognised by the Institution of Chemical Engineers at master level.

Major in Electrical and Electronic Engineering (Honours)

Duration: 4 Years Intakes: Feb, Jul

Students taking this major can specialise in either Electrical Power Engineering, or Electronic Engineering. There is hardly any aspect of modern civilisation that is not dependent upon electrical energy. It is used for heating, cooling, lighting, transportation, manufacturing and production, minerals processing, to name just a few areas of application. Electrical power engineering considers these applications of electrical energy, together with its generation, transmission and distribution, as well as the harnessing of sources of renewable and sustainable energy.

Students are also required to complete 480 hours of exposure to professional engineering practice to prepare them for the workplace.

Professional Registration:
Graduates fulfil the stage one competencies required by Engineers Australia at the level of Professional Engineer Washington Accord.

Bachelor of Technology (Computer Systems and Networking)

Duration: 3 Years , Intakes: Feb, Jul

This course has been designed to help you fully understand computer network design and development technologies so you can pursue career opportunities in this rapidly expanding field. The course integrates current developments in wired and wireless networking, offering a comprehensive view of the industry.

You will develop skills in network design and management, the convergence of IT and telecommunications, embedded systems, computer hardware and software, real-time systems and IT technical support. Your focus will be on the design and support of distributed computer and telecommunications networks.

A feature of this course is certification-based training with IT leaders such as Cisco, through Innovation Central Perth at Curtin. By the time you graduate, you will have the skills to expand the capabilities of networks already in place and to build new ones.

Professional accreditation/recognition
The course is recognised by the Australian Computer Society , and you're able to become a graduate member of Engineers Australia (EAust) as an Enginering Technologist.

Bachelor of Science (Physiotherapy)

You will learn to prevent, diagnose, treat and rehabilitate injuries and disabilities using hands-on treatment, prescriptive exercise and lifestyle advice. In this course, you will undertake a combination of theoretical, practical and clinical subjects.

You will learn foundational skills critical to physiotherapy and intensive study of the musculoskeletal, neurological and cardiopulmonary areas. Develop practical skills in laboratory classes and under clinical supervision at hospitals and community settings.

Students undertake over 1000 hours of clinical placements and activities prior to graduation.

Professional memberships:

Australian Physiotherapy Association
Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA).

Professional Registration:
On graduating you are eligible to apply for registration with the Physiotherapy Board of Australia and membership of the Australian Physiotherapy Association .

You may also apply for registration in New Zealand. To work in the US, UK or Canada, you will need to provide details of your program of studies to the relevant bodies and you may be required to sit a licensing examination.
