Student stories

  • ECU has provided the flexibility for me to create a full-length feature at 21

    My greatest challenge has always been overcoming my struggle with dyslexia, especially something such as writing. But ECU's lecturers and staff have been vital in helping me on this journey. They taught me the knowledge and skills and provided the flexibility for me to create a full-length feature at only 21. I cannot wait to showcase all that the university has taught me on the big screen!

  • I recommend getting a taste of as many different fields of Design while you are at university.

    My tutor recommended I apply for the UX Designer role as part of the IBM-ECU Internship program. As I completed my internship, I was offered a position as a full-time graduate at IBM. I now work full-time with a major mining company client as the sole UX/UI Designer on my IBM team and as a Business Analyst.

  • I chose ECU because it is simply the best option for studying broadcasting in WA

    You get so much hands-on experience and real-world advice from lecturers and tutors who are often professionals in the industry.

    The lecturers offered a no-nonsense approach to the industry and really prepared me for a field of work that is not glamorous and not for the faint-hearted.

    I had no misconceptions about what I was signing up for which made me feel more than prepared for work experience. I have stayed in contact with my lecturer and she continues to help me with my career decisions – even today.
