Student stories

  • Current, practical and right on trend

    Master of Business Administration (MBA) graduate and small business owner Anna Abelha chats about her decision to study an MBA, and why she enjoys studying at ECU.

  • I love to recommend Perth and my school to the whole world!

    I chose ECU because it was the first school in Western Australia (WA) to offer hospitality management courses, and the teaching level and quality is high.

    My biggest achievement so far is being a Student Ambassador of Perth 2020-2021. I love to recommend Perth and my school to the whole world!

    I think the most distinctive feature of Perth is its excellent natural environment. It has the most beautiful sunset in the world and its market culture is the best.

    Living in WA, you can meet different people and cultures from all over the world. This kind of cultural collision can make people more tolerant.

  • I didn't even consider a different university when I decided to start my PhD

    My lecturers and tutors have always accommodated my family-study balance and were willing to listen and help me out.

    My greatest achievement has been completing my tertiary education and now attempting to obtain my PhD while being a full-time carer of three children.

    This has only been possible because of the flexibility at ECU.

    The amount of assistance, resources, contacts and workshops ECU provides along the way helps make this challenging journey as easy as possible.
