The Aberdeen-Curtin Alliance was established in 2017, combining 500 years of academic strength, history and tradition at Scotland’s University of Aberdeen with the ambition and innovation of Curtin. It delivers high-impact research and innovative coursework programs across business, health sciences, medicine, engineering, energy and creative arts. It also incorporates the Global Energy Institute, to respond to the challenges and opportunities facing the energy sector.

The China Australia Writing Centre is a collaborative international program led jointly by Curtin and Fudan University in Shanghai. The centre brings together cross-disciplinary expertise from both institutions, including expertise in creative writing, literature studies, historical writing and journalism.

Curtin has signed an agreement with California’s prestigious Stanford University, allowing nominated business students to attend the Stanford International Honors Program. The annual, eight-week summer program gives students the opportunity to learn from leading business scholars and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs.

Founded by Harvard and MIT in 2012, edX is an online learning destination and MOOC (massive open online course) provider that delivers university-level short courses across a variety of subjects to a global student body, for free. In some instances, a combination of selected MOOCs can form a ‘Micromaster’ which, once completed and verified, can provide credit into selected Curtin postgraduate courses.

To date, there have been more than 170,000 enrolments in Curtin edX courses.
