Hear from our health sciences students

Janice Ting Zi Yin, Bachelor of Science (Psychological Science)

I chose to major in psychology due to my fascination with human behaviour and the workings of the mind. Understanding why people think, feel, and act the way they do has always intrigued me.

Ashley Anak Dominic, Bachelor of Science (Health, Safety and Environment)

What I love about studying HSE at Curtin is it combines theory with hands-on experience. I’ve had the chance to join several site visits, making the course unique. It covers diverse fields, opening opportunities for careers across various industries.

Vinny Chin, Bachelor of Science (Health, Safety & Environment)

I chose Curtin Malaysia as it was right here in Miri. Though studies were conducted online at the time, I kept up with as many student activities as I could. It’s been a great experience and I’m happy to be a part of the student community.
