Curtin University Malaysia was established in 1999 as the first Curtin offshore campus and remains the largest international campus in the Curtin global network. Located on a stunning 1,200-acre garden campus in Senadin, Miri, the industrial heart of Sarawak, the campus was also the first foreign university campus established in East Malaysia. The natural setting, surrounded by lakes, canals and wildlife unique to Borneo, offers one of the most distinctive campus experiences of any branch campus globally. Students receive exactly the same internationally recognised Curtin University (Australia) degree certificate as graduates at the Perth main campus, with fees approximately one-third of those in Australia. Eligible Sarawakian students can study under the 2026 Free Tertiary Education Scheme.
