Pre-Tertiary / Pathways

Welcome to Curtin University of Technology!

Welcome to the Department of Languages and Intercultural Education's (DOLIE) pathway programs which provide preparation for further studies at Curtin University of Technology.

Tertiary preparatory programs offered at DOLIE include ELICOS, English Language Bridging, Foundation Studies and short courses which cater to specific needs of students. For specific information on the differences between these programs and to make an informed choice, please feel free to browse through our website.

Being a new student at Curtin, you will need to embark on an information exploration in order to adapt to life at Curtin and in Perth. Aspects of life on which you would require information relate to housing, lifestyle, the Australian university culture and very importantly the rules and regulations of the university, Perth and Australia. Our website aims to arm you with all the vital information relating to these aspects of studying with us so that you are well informed especially prior to your departure.

We welcome you to join our international 'family' and will provide all the assistance you require to make your stay with us a rewarding, exciting and challenging experience.

Good luck,
