Student stories

  • ECU gives you the ability to apply your knowledge, and to experience what the industry is like

    My experience studying at ECU has been great! The lecturers have been extremely helpful and the flexibility of the course has allowed me to adapt my studies to my lifestyle. At one stage, I was living in Italy, and was able to study online for a semester.

    ECU also has a great reputation for providing practical experience opportunities. One of the practical placements I've already completed went so well that a year later I am still mentoring at the organisation.

    ECU Youth Work student, Jordana Cernotta
  • WAAPA's Arts Management course really helped me find my place in the arts industry

    I have always craved an active role within the performing arts, but had no idea in what capacity this could be, I trusted the course to guide me in the right direction, and it did.

    It was so beneficial to have the WAAPA name behind me when seeking volunteering opportunities for development, enabling me to expand my networks and connections in the local industry. Ultimately, this led to my current position of Associate Producer at the Blue Room Theatre.

    WAAPA Arts Management graduate, Harriet Roberts
  • Arts Management is one of the essential occupations in life

    WAAPA's Arts Management course teaches us about things like strategic planning, human resources and fundamental arts law.

    I've also been doing a lot of activities, such as volunteering at the Art Ball at the Western Australian Gallery of Arts. I learned a lot while working in box offices, bars, and ushering audiences at WAAPA performances.
