Curtin Colombo
Curtin University’s 20-year tertiary education partnership with the Sri Lankan government was elevated to a higher level in 2024, with the launch of Curtin’s seventh global campus, Curtin Colombo.
Colombo is the country’s largest city and the capital of Sri Lanka’s Western Province.
Respected as the oldest democracy in Asia, Sri Lanka is also known for its warm, tropical climate and for being Asia’s biodiversity hotspot.
The transition of Curtin’s education premises into a full Curtin University global campus represents the University’s ongoing and significant commitment to the Sri Lankan community and the broader South Asian region. The state-of-the-art campus is located in the heart of Colombo, next to Gangaramaya Lake – popular for the Gangaramaya Park urban retreat – and within walking distance of the city centre.
Curtin University Colombo will continue to expand upon our existing suite of higher education programs, ensuring that the programs meet local needs and build on the academic capabilities and world-class teaching and learning facilities of the campus.
Curtin University Colombo is also focused on developing a research culture through projects that aim to address real-world challenges for Sri Lanka’s communities, government and industry.
Importantly, the transition to a global campus will provide unique opportunities for Curtin University Colombo students to study at Curtin’s other global campuses, in Western Australia, Dubai, Singapore, Mauritius and Malaysia.
