A portrait image of the testimonial author

I began my studies at Curtin Singapore and came to Curtin Perth in the second year of my course. I was excited because I’d heard great things about the Perth campus! Since it is Curtin’s main campus, it is extremely big and has many facilities for students.

Throughout my studies, I was able to group up with students from different countries, and this put my leadership skills to the test. I loved it and I’m glad that I got to experience it!
