Tuition fees have been a worry for parents and students across the country as many have faced job losses and pay cuts due to the pandemic. Curtin University s campus in Dubai introduced a number of initiatives to support its current students and alleviate this pressure, allowing the students to focus solely on their higher education. The first thing we noticed is that the student s morale gets affected and this in turn impacts their grades and performance. Our Finance team has been working with parents on a case-by-case basis to provide payment plans and bursaries to students who are in need, Professor John Evans, Pro Vice-Chancellor and campus President.
