Curtin University Dubai
Course Overview
The Bachelor of Commerce at Curtin Dubai is a three-year undergraduate degree with double-majors available in Accounting, Finance, Marketing, Management and Business Information Systems. The qualification is awarded by Curtin University Perth and is recognised by CPA Australia, ACCA and CIMA — so Sri Lankan students who complete the Accounting major typically walk away with up to 9 ACCA paper exemptions.
After A/Levels, Sri Lankan applicants can enter directly or come through Curtin's foundation pathway. The Dubai campus runs three intakes a year (January, May, September), so students who didn't get their first university choice locally can usually start within six months without losing an academic year.
