STUDY IN SARAWAK, MALAYSIA

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

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 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,

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 eco-activities, 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.

WHY CURTIN SARAWAK?

AN INTEGRAL PART OF CURTIN

We are proud to be the largest international campus of Curtin University which is ranked in the top two percent worldwide by the Academic Ranking of World Universities.

Curtin Sarawak was the first foreign university 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 self-accrediting 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.

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

7

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.

INTENSIVE ENGLISH PROGRAMMEe

The Intensive English Programme (IEP) is designed to improve students' academic English language proficiency. It specifically caters for potential tertiary education students who lack the English language entry requirements to enter a Foundation or Degree course.e

A Placement Test is administered to determine students' command of English. Based on the test results, students are placed at the appropriate IEP level. The minimum English requirement to do the Intensive English Programme is IELTS band 3.0 or IEP Placement Test band 3.0.

There are four levels in the IEP: Level I, II, III and IV, with four intakes/terms a year. Each term comprises 9 weeks and the course consists of 20 contact hours per week. e

At the end of each nine-week term, students in Level I, II and III sit for an internal test, and based on their scores, they will be streamed to the appropriate levels. Students might skip a level or two if they meet the entry band requirement for each level respectively as illustrated in the diagram below. The exit test for Level IV is the Cambridge IELTS.

Besides the IEP, the Department of Language Studies and Humanities offers a 6-hour per week Pre-University English unit for one semester. It aims to improve the students' English language proficiency to the standard required for undergraduate or postgraduate studies. In addition, special academic learning needs are supported through the academic modules offered by the Office of Dean, Teaching and Learning. When necessary, students are encouraged to join these free 2-hour seminars and workshops which cover topics such as Plagiarism, Academic English, Academic Listening and Note Taking and Sentence Mechanics.

POSTGRADUATE BY COURSEWORK DEGREESe

Graduate certificate courses are designed to develop skills in a specialised area that may or may not be directly related to that of your undergraduate degree. Some graduate certificates are specifically designed for non-graduates and allow you to progress towards further postgraduate study. All of the programmes are career oriented, and usually take one trimester full-time or equivalentpart-time.e

Graduate diplomas are specialised, vocationally-oriented awards. Entry is normally based on completion of a bachelor degree, although this can be in an unrelated field if you have work experience in the field of study.e

Graduate diplomas introduce graduates from disciplines outside of their chosen higher degree to postgraduate studies. Less academically qualified applicants may still apply. Graduate diplomas are usually completed in two trimester full-time or equivalent part-time. e

A faculty may accept you into a master degree provided that you hold appropriate qualifications as decided by the head of faculty.e

Mature-age students who do not have formal entry qualifications may still qualify for admission to the master programme.e

A master degree is usually completed in one year on a trimester or semester basis, unless Credit for Recognised Learning (CRL) is awarded as a result of other relevant studies. Some master degrees also have a work experience component.

ADMISSION4

For admission into Curtin Sarawak, you must provide evidence of completion of a degree from a recognised university and provide evidence of English language proficiency. In addition, you may need to meet specific course pre-requisites. e
