  In 2011-12 I had a brilliant exchange year from the UK. I had to really raise my game to keep up but the education was absolutely second to none. I worked about 60 hours a week over 4 modules and came home with all Higher Distinction grades. With their fantastic, well researched lectures, critique on our writing, feedback on practical work and my own input, I came home to the UK and achieved a First for my degree, plus the Best in Show award. Thank you so much Curtin Uni.

  An excellent educational institution providing highly organised and professional courses for students in a broad range of fields and industries. Curtin University certainly stands out from the crowd, statewide and nationally.

  It's a great business, Curtin. An excellent means of earning cash over an extended period of time, if not, almost forever so as long as enrolment continues rampently. Sorry to jump onto a tangent here, after all, it's a university but I'd just call it a business at this point. Aimed at profiting, increasing enrolments, increased graduates and increased average grades is great an all but there are underlying issues that I can't simply explain through some Google review. To put it bluntly, they enrol every person at their doorstep, almost every course is accepting students left right and centre. Lack of practicality in courses, crowded classes, lack of availability of classes, flexibility is limited in timetables, lack of trained and fluent staff, student services overcrowded with poor attitude and methods at handling situations at times, not all the time, and excessive transfer of information and material onto their Blackboard platform, I mean, who needs books anymore, right? All being said though, not a bad thing, futuristic, forward with technology, efficient, fairly clean, fairly good facilities that is just barely keeping up with the sheer number of people at Curtin and mass enrolments means everyone gets the opportunity to study at a modern university. Having said that, it's a question of debt, time, what people are really signing up for and the core values of a university, simply studying at one was once a badge you'd wear proudly, now it's over saturated and a burden on ones shoulder, you'd be looked upon as a person under financial stress studying at one now. Don't worry though, gets the job done at least. Success rate is about 70%, but only 40% of graduates are guaranteed jobs relative to their degree and don't fall for the HECS trap, failing any unit, adding a single semester, etc. drastically adds to the bills. It's a rant with exaggeration, but it's a down to earth view on the place. Good luck.

  It's all about the money, money, money. Should be Curtin University's theme song. I know it's a 'business' of sorts. But people should be aware that that's all that Curtin University cares about. Whether they get your hard earned money, or the Government's money, it's all the same to Curtin. Money and profit first and....nope, learning and study isn't even last. It's just a side piece. After you graduate it's so long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye, and they couldn't give a flying you-know-what about you or whether you even land a job after all your years of study. Not just Curtin I'm sure. I just think prospective students deserve to know the harsh reality of universities today.
