Curtin University is Western Australia’s largest university, with about 44,000 students, including offshore ones. Curtin College students can use campus facilities such as the gym at Curtin Stadium, the central library, and the Curtin Bookshop.

The college offers the Certificate IV Foundation Studies (eight units over 2–3 trimesters) and the Tertiary Access Program (four units over one trimester). Progression to a Diploma depends on meeting minimum marks, and some courses require higher final averages.
