Curtin Mauritius is the Mauritian campus of Curtin University, a public university in Australia. It offers undergraduate and postgraduate degree programs in healthcare, information technology, commerce, design and communications. Curtin University is named after John Curtin, a prominent Prime Minister of Australia during World War II from 1941 to 1945, and is the largest university in the state of Western Australia with 58,607 students globally in 2022. It is the only Australian university campus in Africa and was formally opened on 3 May 2018 by Pravind Jugnauth, the prime minister of Mauritius.

Curtin has a partnership with the Toulouse Business School with which it offers dual degree programs with integrated overseas study at Toulouse (France) or Barcelona (Spain).
