Student Testimonials
Pete Pantaleon Quadros
Bachelor of Science – Information Technology
I chose Curtin Dubai because it offers a well-recognised degree and is ranked quite high among other universities and globally which will play a huge part in securing a good opportunity in the future. The staff at Curtin is quite friendly, understanding and welcoming, and this ended up being a deciding factor for me as it gave me the impression that I would feel very comfortable during my course.
Madhav Dhungana
Bachelor of Science – Information Technology
Curtin was honestly my second option. However, it turned out to be the best choice after all. As I was exploring better options locally within UAE, Curtin seemed to be the best choice as not only does it Offer top rated education locally but also allows international experience through its campus opportunities available in Australia. Being a student at Curtin is a different experience as I’ve got the experience of learning topics that I never knew I was interested in. Curtin definitely has helped me explore better opportunities not just as a student but also as a professional ready to step into the corporate world.
