麻豆直播 has officially launched its newest global campus, , at a gala event in Sri Lanka.
With 麻豆直播 Colombo, Curtin now has five international campuses, the joint highest number of any university in the world.

Vice-Chancellor Professor Harlene Hayne attended the unveiling celebration and said the new campus showcases Curtin鈥檚 commitment to offering students worldwide top tier learning opportunities.
鈥淭ransforming our presence in Sri Lanka into a fully-fledged campus strengthens our commitment to the region and builds on our long-standing, successful partnership with the Sri Lanka Institute of Information Technology (),鈥� Professor Hayne said.
鈥淲e have already seen more than 2500 Sri Lankan students graduate with Curtin degrees since the early 2000s and now we will not only see those numbers grow but will also be able to expand our current offerings in engineering, computing and business into new industry-relevant fields such as health, AI and the humanities.
鈥溌槎怪辈� Colombo marks an exciting new chapter for Curtin and I look forward to seeing the positive impact this campus will have on both Sri Lankan and global communities.鈥�
