Curtin Mauritius Global Scholars Program

Every student accepted into the program receives an A$15,000 scholarship, which is credited directly against tuition fees rather than paid out as cash. Because the transfer into Perth is built into the program structure, students do not need to reapply for their course when they move — Curtin's Perth team coordinates the transition, visa arrangements, and enrolment continuity so the shift from the Mauritius campus to the Australian campus is treated as a continuation of the same degree, not a fresh admission.

The program is open across Curtin Mauritius's range of undergraduate degrees (business, commerce, IT, engineering-adjacent and related fields taught on the Mauritius campus), giving students a lower-cost, lower-risk entry point into an Australian qualification. For a Pakistani or other international applicant who wants an Australian degree but is priced out of starting directly in Perth, or who wants a gentler transition through a smaller, more affordable campus first, Mauritius functions as a genuine stepping stone rather than a compromise — the degree awarded at the end is identical to one earned entirely in Australia.

Mauritius itself is a stable, English-and-French-speaking island nation with a well-regarded higher-education sector and a growing base of international branch campuses (Curtin, Middlesex, and others). Living costs and tuition on the Mauritius campus are notably lower than in Australia, which combined with the A$15,000 credit makes the total cost of a Curtin degree meaningfully cheaper for students who use this pathway instead of enrolling in Perth from day one.
