Activities
Curtin Malaysia students are involved in sporting groups, events committees, competitions and clubs, to enrich their hobbies and interests. Numerous sporting and social clubs cater to the recreational needs of students and if a certain club doesn’t already exist, students can always start their own. The Student Council is always willing to assist students in setting up new clubs.
Curtin Student Council Clubs and Societies
The Curtin Malaysia’s Student Council is managed by the Curtin students. The Council represents students at meetings within the University to provide a student perspective and voice student concerns within the University decision-making structure. The Student Council also organises activities for students to assist them to adapt to University life, including an orientation program for new students and many social, cultural, sporting and recreational activities throughout the year.
Posters and flyers constantly advertise events and club meetings all over campus, and interested students are invited to movie nights, free lectures, games and festivals. At the start of each semester students will see club representatives setting up tables around campus. This presents a good opportunity for new students to find out about and join the clubs and societies at Curtin Malaysia.
The sporting and recreational facilities at the campus includes a soccer field, basketball, badminton and volleyball courts, tennis courts, indoor soccer, jogging track and gymnasium. The main student organisations are Student Council and Curtin Volunteers. Students may also participate in campus-wide projects, organised by the University Life Department.
