Student stories

  • I chose ECU because it offered fully online units with fantastic student support, which was ideal when I was working full time at the start of my degree

    My entire world view has been expanded by studying at ECU. I had no real idea how complicated Finance was before I started. The further into my studies I have progressed, the more I have leant on things I picked up in the first year introductory classes. The skills I have picked up during my course have always had a compounding effect and I now feel comfortable to market myself to employers.

  • ECU's South West Campus, and online options, made studying commerce possible

    I had always wanted to study again, but the timing was never right. After moving to Bunbury, I was no longer working full-time and had small children at home. It finally felt like a good time to go back to uni. I am completing the remainder of my course online and am really enjoying the flexibility.

    Emma Fishburn
  • Perth is one of the most relaxed and beautiful cities I've been so far.

    I chose to take up my postgraduate studies at ECU because of its diversified and friendly approach among international students. For the past two semesters I've made friends with students of different nationalities. Perth is one of the most relaxed and beautiful cities I've been so far. People are so friendly and welcoming. I love exploring Perth's beautiful beaches.

    My study tip: Be emotionally and mentally prepared as you'll enter a challenging and life-changing journey. However, don't forget to enjoy and make the most out of your learning journey because with ECU it will be possible.
