Amy began her studies in Dubai, enrolling in a\u00a0Bachelor of Commerce<\/a>\u00a0with\u00a0a\u00a0major in Accounting and Finance.<\/p>\n \u201cI chose Curtin University for its strong global reputation and real-world learning approach. With professional accreditations, this course is helping me build the skills and knowledge to stand out when I graduate,\u201d\u00a0Amy says.<\/p>\n After settling into her studies, Amy decided to step out of her comfort zone and transfer to Curtin Australia.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThe main reason I decided to transfer to Curtin Australia was to explore a different environment, be in a different country and also just to get the experience on the main campus, [sic]\u201d Amy says.<\/p>\n The campus transfer process<\/p>\n One of the biggest concerns for anyone considering a transfer is continuity \u2013 will my credits count? Will I fall behind? Will the work be harder?\u00a0At Curtin, the answer is no, and\u00a0here\u2019s\u00a0why.<\/p>\n At Curtin,\u00a0our\u00a0curriculum is consistent across global campuses.\u00a0This means the units\u00a0you\u2019ve\u00a0completed in Dubai\u00a0can\u00a0count towards the same degree in\u00a0Australia,\u00a0so your study\u00a0timeline\u00a0won\u2019t\u00a0be disrupted.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n The\u00a0entire transfer\u00a0process is designed to be straightforward, with\u00a0support from Curtin staff and agents to help you through each step \u2013 from\u00a0applying\u00a0to settling in.\u00a0<\/p>\n There are also scholarships available for campus transfer students, so\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0worth speaking with\u00a0Curtin staff\u00a0early about your eligibility.<\/p>\n \u201cTransferring to Curtin Perth has been amazing!\u00a0It\u2019s\u00a0so easy to move between campuses \u2013 you could spend every semester somewhere new if you wanted to,\u201d\u00a0says Amy.<\/p>\n Three things that might surprise you about the\u00a0Curtin\u00a0campus transfer process\u00a0<\/p>\n It\u2019s\u00a0designed to be smooth and seamless.\u00a0<\/p>\n Because Curtin\u2019s curriculum\u00a0and\u00a0academic calendar\u00a0is aligned across global campuses, you can continue your degree without repeating units.<\/p>\n There\u2019s\u00a0support\u00a0the entire way.\u00a0<\/p>\n Curtin staff and registered agents\u00a0can\u00a0guide\u00a0you\u00a0through\u00a0the transfer process.\u00a0<\/p>\n You\u00a0might be eligible for our Curtin Global Talent Scholarship.<\/p>\n You will\u00a0be\u00a0automatically\u00a0assessed for the\u00a0Global\u00a0Curtin\u00a0Scholarship<\/a> when\u00a0you transfer to Curtin Australia.<\/p>\n What\u00a0is\u00a0it like to study\u00a0in Australia\u00a0as an international student?<\/p>\n Our\u00a0main\u00a0campus is in\u00a0Perth, Western Australia\u00a0\u2013\u00a0a\u00a0vibrant, cosmopolitan city\u00a0by the water,\u00a0not unlike\u00a0Dubai.\u00a0But\u00a0the experience of living and studying in each\u00a0place\u00a0can feel quite different.\u00a0<\/p>\n For Amy, arriving at Curtin\u2019s Perth campus left a strong impression.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThe campus is large, the community is so welcoming, and living in Perth has been a great experience \u2013 it\u2019s a beautiful city with a relaxed vibe,\u201d\u00a0she explains.\u00a0<\/p>\n Amy also found that the hands-on learning opportunities in her degree helped her gain practical experience.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cAs an internal audit intern, I experienced how auditing works in an Australian business environment,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n This practical,\u00a0hands-on\u00a0and engaging learning experience<\/a> is something many transfer students say is a highlight of studying at Curtin Australia.<\/p>\n Making Perth feel like home\u00a0<\/p>\n Moving to a new country can bring moments of \u2018culture shock\u2019,\u00a0but Amy found that building a routine, getting involved in hobbies and connecting with like-minded people helped her settle in.\u00a0<\/p>\n Specifically, connecting with local faith groups and exploring Perth\u2019s many golf courses helped\u00a0her\u00a0feel at home.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cOne thing I love about Perth is the Christian communities.
