Student stories

  • I consciously chose ECU because its offering was unique

    I've always been interested in Intelligence and was delighted when I found ECU's Bachelor of Counter Terrorism Security and Intelligence course. I chose ECU because its offering was unique. The lecturers for the Bachelor of Counterterrorism, Security and Intelligence are also world-class. They have each had successful careers in intelligence and/or security, and are truly passionate about their subject areas.

  • There are so many doors open that I don’t know which to choose.

    I didn't realise that there was such a range of careers that my course could lead to. Some courses have a direct line to a small number of occupations, but the Bachelor of Science is not like that. Knowing the range of roles I could go to is valuable since I can tailor my studies and focus where I want to go.

  • The benefits of doing a work placement while studying

    Bachelor of Science (Environmental Management) student Melissa talks about her experiences completing a Work Integrated Learning placement in a government agency, giving her an opportunity to travel and to clarify her career goals.
