LAND OF
INTRIGUING
DIVERSITY
STUDY IN SARAWAK, MALAYSIA
Be a part of the country's rich multicultural mix. Indulge in a whole new learning experience.
MULTICULTURALISM, A FACT OF LIFE
Having had an interesting past and being a part
of the international spice route many hundreds
of years ago, Malaysia has turned into a
bubbling, bustling melting pot of races living
together in peace and harmony. Malays,
Chinese, Indians, the indigenous communities of
Sarawak and Sabah, and several other ethnic
groups, have lived together for generations. All
these cultures have influenced each other,
creating a truly Malaysian culture.
Everything from its people to its architecture
reflect a colourful heritage and an amalgamated
culture. Multiculturalism has also made
Malaysia a gastronomical paradise and home to
hundreds of colourful festivals. It is therefore no
wonder that Malaysians love celebrating and
socialising.
SARAWAK - THE NATION’S LARGEST AND MOST
DIVERSE STATE
Malaysia's diversity is most profound in
Sarawak, in East Malaysia, on the island of
Borneo. From pristine underwater marine life
and untouched coral reefs to the rich heritage of
its indigenous peoples, and from lush rainforests
and some of the world's largest caves to
picturesque beach resorts and modern city
landscapes, Sarawak is indeed a potpourri of
experiences.
Known as Bumi Kenyalang or 'Land of the
Hornbills', Sarawak is Malaysia's largest state
and home to some 27 ethnic groups making up
2
a population of close to 2 million; each with its
own distinct language, culture and lifestyle. The
Ibans form the predominant ethnic group,
followed by the Chinese, Malays, Bidayuh,
Melanau and other native groups. The majority
of the population live and work in the State's
cities and towns, but a sizeable percentage still
live in longhouses and villages in the interior and
engage in agriculture.
Sarawak is renowned for its natural beauty and
attractions, which includes the famous Mulu
Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Sarawak's
rainforest is one of the most diverse and
protected ecosystems in the world. Its treasure
of natural wonders is best appreciated in its
many protected national parks where alluring
caves, waterfalls, beaches and exotic wildlife can
be found.
Sarawak has an abundance of natural resources.
Sarawak's LNG and petroleum have provided the
mainstay of the Malaysia's economy for decades
and the state is also one of the world's largest
exporters of tropical hardwood timber and the
major contributor to Malaysian exports.
Future growth is being fueled by an influx of
foreign investment and new industries being
established within the Sarawak Corridor Of
Renewable Energy (SCORE), one of the five
regional development corridors being developed
throughout the country and aimed at
transforming Sarawak into a developed state by
the year 2020.

SARAWAK’S
LOCATION
OF CHOICE
WHY MIRI?
Safe, growing, multicultural.
SARAWAK’S MOST COSMOPOLITAN CITY
Miri is regarded as Sarawak's most
cosmopolitan city with a population of more
than 350,000 comprising the entire spectrum of
the state's over 20 ethnic groups, as well as a
large expatriate community.
It is often referred to as the 'Oil Town of
Malaysia' as it is home to the country's over
100-year-old petroleum industry, as well as
Sarawak's 'Resort City' given its scenic seaside
location and being the gateway city to the area's
world-renowned natural attractions.
CITY ON THE MOVE
Miri's history, progress and economy have
always been tied to oil. Only a humble fishing
village about a century ago, it has grown in
leaps and bounds since oil was discovered in the
area in 1910.
The oil and gas industry remains the largest
contributor to the economy of Sarawak but other
industries such as forestry and agriculture
burgeoned in the years following Sarawak’s
independence through the formation of Malaysia
in 1963. In recent years, the construction,
shipbuilding, retail, financial services, tourism,
4
education and manufacturing sectors have also
contributed greatly to the city's rapid economic
growth.
Today, Miri boasts a splendid waterfront,
marina, shopping malls, luxury condominiums,
two 18-hole golf courses, 4- and 5-star hotels
and a modern airport and port.
It has also become an educational and training
hub with the presence of Curtin Sarawak and
other private and public institutions of higher
learning, as well as a key tourism hub for ecoactivities, diving and adventure holidays.
As a city on the move, new infrastructure and
development projects are planned or underway.
They include the Marina ParkCity development
incorporating new government offices, financial
institutions, hotels, luxury condominiums and
commercial properties; The Wharf at the city’s
waterfront area incorporating high-rise
condominiums, a new 5-star hotel and
commercial properties; expansion of new
townships; as well as new roads, public
amenities and commercial areas in both inner
city and suburban areas.

AN INTEGRAL PART OF CURTIN
We are proud to be the largest international

campus to be established in East Malaysia (in
1999) and is currently among the top-rated
tertiary institutions in Malaysia under
Malaysia’s SETARA and D-SETARA rating
systems, as well as one of a select few selfaccrediting universities in the country.
THE PERFECT LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
We are located in a region of Sarawak famed for
its natural wonders, rich cultural heritage and
biodiversity, oil and gas industry, and emerging
processing and manufacturing industries.
THE BEST OF
AUSTRALIA
AND MALAYSIA
6
With close to 4,000 students from more than 45
countries and staff from some 15 nations, we
offer a truly international and cross-cultural
learning environment in a unique Malaysian
setting. Inevitably, this adds a rich and valuable
dimension to the campus atmosphere and also
prepares our graduates to live and work in an
increasingly global environment.
INDUSTRY-RELEVANT COURSES WITH
INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION
We offer a wide range of Curtin undergraduate
and postgraduate courses in business and
humanities, engineering and science, in addition
to courses at pre-university level that feed
directly into the undergraduate programs. As the
courses are identical in structure to those
offered at our mother campus in Perth, students
can transfer between campuses without
disruption to their studies.
In addition to accreditation by professional
bodies in Australia, Malaysia and other
countries, the courses are endorsed by the
Malaysian Ministry of Higher Education.
They are also widely recognised for their
practical and applied nature, which equip our
graduates with essential skills through exposure
to industry and business. So is our research
which focuses on solving real world problems.
This combination enables our graduates to be
effective in the workplace immediately upon
graduation. As part of this approach, we have
always fostered successful partnerships with
industry, business and government to enhance
the quality of our scholarship, teaching and
research.
MODERN CAMPUS FACILITIES
Our campus is one of the most modern
university campuses in Southeast Asia, where
stylish architectural buildings complement
state-of-the-art facilities and equipment.
Situated on a 1,000 acre site in Desa Senadin, a
northern suburb of Miri, it features beautifully
landscaped gardens, man-made lakes and
surrounding wetlands teeming with indigenous
and migratory birds, making for a most unique
learning environment.

PLANNING YOUR BUDGET
e
Living and studying in Miri can be a rewarding, exciting and challenging
experience. While almost everything you will need is available at
affordable prices, we suggest you plan your living requirements so that
you can make the most of your experience.
e
Your living expenses will depend largely on your tastes, interests and
financial position. You should plan a budget according to your needs,
but make sure it is flexible enough to allow for changes.
e
If you plan to buy a car, consider additional expenses such as petrol,
insurance, road tax, driver’s licence and maintenance costs. Rental cars
are available for long-term hire, but the cost could be substantial.
e
You may need to purchase text books and stationery, so plan ahead to
cover these costs. The cost of books can vary considerably, depending on
the course and units chosen. You should also budget for items such as
photocopying, course-related incidental costs and protective clothing.
e
To get the best start from your stay in Miri, we recommend you consult
the International Division on the estimated amount of funds you will
need to get by in the initial weeks.

thesis written under the guidance of a supervisor and
associate supervisor(s).
Graduate diploma
The graduate diploma is a specialised, vocationallyorientated award usually completed in two
semesters. Entry is usually based on completion of a
bachelor degree or diploma (one year).
Graduate entry master
Graduate entry master courses provide a fast-track
learning experience for students who already hold a
bachelor degree (three semesters to two years).
Master of Philosophy
The Master of Philosophy (MPhil) aims to expand
knowledge beyond the undergraduate honours or
postgraduate diploma level, culminating in a
research thesis. Upon completion of a master by
research degree, you may apply to be considered for
entry into a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) programme.
e
Bachelor degrees
A bachelor degree is the first degree earned at
university. At Curtin Sarawak, it is awarded for
completing an undergraduate course of study (three
to four years).
e
Honours programme (Engineering)
Study consists of coursework at an advanced level
and research or project work.
28
Master degree
A faculty may accept you into a master degree

As a doctoral research degree candidate, you will
uncover new knowledge either by the discovery of
new facts, the formulation of theories or the
innovative reinterpretation of known data and
established ideas. Your research will use an in-depth
understanding of theories and concepts to develop
practical solutions for real-world problems.
