About us

Muresk Institute is Curtin's school of agribusiness, applied biosciences and environmental biology.

Muresk has provided agricultural education on its Northam campus for over 75 years. Our success is shown by the strong employer demand for our graduates. In more recent years, courses offered have expanded to include horticulture, aquatic science, equine management, viticulture and wine making and environmental biology.

We now offer courses on three campuses: Northam, Bentley and Margaret River at levels ranging from associate degree to Ph D; and graduate level accreditation for the flexible learning available through the Agribusiness Training Program.

Muresk's reputation for teaching excellence has been complemented by a growing research profile. This has been enhanced by Muresk's partnership (with Murdoch University, University of Western Australia and the Department of Agriculture Western Australia) in the new institute Agricultural Research Western Australia (ARWA).
