Student stories

  • The internship I completed in my final semester has been the perfect stepping stone to advance my career

    I chose to study International Hotel and Resort Management at ECU because I had heard of the practical nature of the course. My lecturers were very experienced in the hospitality and tourism industry and provided real life examples and case studies to link theory with current industry practice.

    I was lucky enough to take part in the Borneo study tour, and no words can describe how amazing that experience was. In my final semester at ECU, I was able to secure an internship placement. Since graduating, I have been accepted into the graduate program at Accor hotels, where I will be relocating to Broome.

  • The support from ECU's lecturers, learning consultants and dedicated librarians was amazing.

    I chose ECU as this degree has not only been developed in consultation with industry experts, but is also accredited by the Australian Institute of Project Management, and the Project Management Institute.

    The support from ECU's lecturers, learning consultants and dedicated librarians was amazing. Other than enhancing my project management skills, this degree has taught me valuable time management skills, taught me to think outside the box and seek better solutions, to be proactive and lead a team while having limited authority to do so.

  • ECU ticks all the boxes

    Before starting your studies, consider if the university has good facilities, good lecturers, the support available and even talk to students to get to know better the university are you getting into. ECU ticks all these boxes and you won't regret studying here!

    The facilities here are amazing! There are stylish buildings with the best equipment to facilitate learning, the lecturers are very good teachers who challenge us to think critically but are also open to have a chat or a coffee just to ask if everything is fine. They also give us tips about getting a job and what is expected in our assessments.
