Environmental Science is an incredibly competitive, but also rewarding career path
There isn't a single unit I completed at ECU during my undergrad which hasn't been valuable to me in some way throughout my professional career. Environmental Science is an incredibly competitive, but also rewarding career path. So be utterly relentless in the pursuit of real-world experience whilst working on your degree.
I chose ECU because of the excellent reputation it enjoyed in the field of Cyber Security
Having decided to study Cyber Security, I chose ECU because of the excellent reputation it has in this field. My study experience here has been great and has presented me with a number of opportunities to build my career. The lecturers at ECU are very helpful and supportive and they helped us gain the skills to make a successful transition from study to the workplace.
