Margaret River Education Campus

The Margaret River Education Campus is located 280 km South of Perth in Western Australia's premium wine growing region. The Campus is a joint initiative of the Margaret River Senior High School, Department of Education and Training, South West Regional College of TAFE, Curtin University of Technology and Edith Cowan University. Within the Campus, Curtin is the lead partner in the Centre for Wine Excellence, which comprises a teaching winery, chemistry laboratories, sensory evaluation and research laboratories, classrooms and resource centre. This pivotal location allows Muresk Institute's viticulture and oenology students to access leading vineyards and wineries to complement their theoretical studies.
