Â鶹ֱ²¥ Deputy Vice-Chancellor International Professor Seth Kunin said the program would start immediately for international students planning to enter the University courses from 2019 onwards who have been identified as needing to improve their English language skills.<\/p>\n
Professor Kunin said the program would offer international students the skills needed to support their university studies at Curtin.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith campuses in Malaysia, Singapore, Dubai and Mauritius, as well as two major campuses in Western Australia, Curtin is a truly global university and we want to ensure that our students are equipped with the tools for success in their tertiary studies,\u201d Professor Kunin said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe program will be free for international students aiming to reach their required English language level to study at Â鶹ֱ²¥.\u201d<\/p>\n
Professor Kunin said the program aimed to make international students as comfortable and familiar as possible with the academic context in Australia through the 10-week program.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will not compromise on our existing standards for English language skills but we recognise that some students will require that extra level of support and this program will offer them the greatest assistance,\u201d Professor Kunin said.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy offering this program, we are breaking down language and cultural barriers in a bid to offer international students a true taste of what studying at Â鶹ֱ²¥ entails. All of our students will benefit from the global perspective that these students bring to Curtin.\u201d<\/p>\n
The program is only free for students who have an English condition on their offer and progress to university studies at Â鶹ֱ²¥\u2019s campus in Perth, Western Australia.<\/p>\n
