Overview
Curtin English offers English pathways at Curtin’s Perth campus in Bentley. It suits students planning to progress to Curtin University or Curtin College and who need to develop academic English before their next course. A packaged offer can link English study with the intended diploma, undergraduate or postgraduate program. Gateway English develops reading, writing, speaking and listening along with critical thinking and communication in multicultural settings. English Language Bridging is a separate stage. The level required for progression depends on the destination course and is set out in the student’s offer. Gateway English is the earlier of Curtin’s two English pathway stages. Students may move into English Language Bridging or Curtin College, according to the pathway and the grades specified in their offers. The Perth campus offers study spaces and food outlets, making it possible to use the campus between lessons and independent work.

Courses
Gateway English is listed in six-, 12-, 18- and 24-week options. Assessment covers the four language skills, and the required progression grade appears in the offer. Curtin English also describes an online placement test through registered agents or partners. Check the intake calendar and timetable for your assigned level, and confirm whether your pathway includes English Language Bridging. Curtin lists orientation separately from teaching dates in its intake calendar. Check the dates for both Gateway English and the next stage before arranging travel.

Fees
Curtin’s 2027 Gateway English schedule lists indicative tuition of AUD 3,729 for six weeks, AUD 7,458 for 12 weeks, AUD 11,187 for 18 weeks and AUD 14,916 for 24 weeks. The enrolment fee is AUD 300 per course, bringing the six-week study subtotal to AUD 4,029. Accommodation, insurance and travel are separate. English Language Bridging has its own fees. Check the duration and fees on your offer before booking housing. Six weeks is the shortest published Gateway English option. The enrolment charge makes the six-week subtotal higher than the published tuition alone. Curtin advertises a Curtin English Scholarship for eligible students progressing to a qualifying Curtin degree. The benefit is a credit towards the degree tuition, so the Gateway English example shows the amount before any such benefit. Check the scholarship eligibility and value in the conditional offer. If your offer includes English Language Bridging after Gateway, request the separate tuition and enrolment charges for that stage before calculating a pathway total.

Accommodation
Curtin’s Perth campus accommodation includes the catered St Catherine’s College and self-catering options such as Twin Dolphin Hall and Guild House. Properties differ in kitchen arrangements, room type and eligibility. The university also lists short-stay accommodation on campus and provides housing advice. Ask the operator whether a lease can match the English course dates and confirm utilities, upfront payments and any bond. Students wanting to cook should compare a hall with shared kitchens against a unit-style residence. Curtin’s accommodation support can help locate short-stay options where a longer lease does not match the six-week timetable.
