Student stories

  • Getting a competitive edge in Law

    Meet former President of the ECU Law Society and successful graduate, Dino Todorov.

    Dino thinks Law is a journey and an investment in yourself, a journey that requires the right partner. For him, that partner was ECU.

  • It is a childhood dream for me to be studying Law

    I came here from Kazan, Russia with a teaching degree in Technology and Enterprise. It is a childhood dream for me to be studying Law. ECU's flexible study options, approachable lecturers, and support services play a big part in making this dream come true, as I have children, work, and elderly parents to care for. It was also an honour to represent ECU in the AAT National Mooting Competition.

  • I thought there was no way I could fit law studies into my busy life

    My passion was to study law, but after having kids I thought I could never fit law studies into my busy life. Then a friend told me I could study online at ECU. My studies have now gone so well that I've represented ECU in a national mooting competition for students.
