Associate Dean’s Welcome Message

 

At Curtin Malaysia, our R&D Committee serves as the strategic catalyst for innovation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and impactful knowledge creation. Anchored in global priorities, we drive research that creates real-world impact for people, planet, and progress:

  • Digital Economy
  • Circular Economy, and
  • Wellbeing

Through our Higher Degree by Research (HDR) programs at the Master’s and Doctoral levels, we nurture future-ready researchers in a supportive, supervisor-guided environment. With modern facilities and a focus on critical thinking, HDR candidates are empowered to push boundaries and lead meaningful change.

Complementing our research ecosystem is the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Hub, which is a dynamic platform that connects students, researchers, and industry partners. This hub supports idea incubation, start-up development, and creative problem-solving to transform research into entrepreneurial action and innovation-driven solutions.

Welcome to a space where curiosity meets opportunity, and your journey of discovery and impact begins.
