Student stories
-
A work placement was one of the best learning experiences I have had.
Taking a work placement as part of my course was probably one of the best learning experiences I have had so far. I have now completed 200 hours of work experience related to my studies and this has provided me with the necessary knowledge, skills, and personal characteristics that employers seek, like time management, teamwork and communication skills.
-
The ECU lecturers and tutors are very supportive and approachable.
I have been on many practicum placements, which have been the most enjoyable part of the course. Although demanding, the placements have provided me with the opportunity to put the theory learnt throughout the year into practice. The placements have improved my confidence in my teaching ability and have prepared me for my own classroom in the future.
The course has opened my eyes to the diverse range of children's learning styles and taught me various techniques to motive and include all children.

The Bachelor of Performing Arts has given me the skills to maintain, develop and practice as an independent artist
The Bachelor of Performing Arts is the type of course that doesn't confine you to one specific artistic form. Instead it opens doors and windows to numerous forms of performance art and how it exists in the world, broadening your own horizons of how you can be a part of it.
It has let me experience what was once unknown practices such as the Suzuki Training Method and Butoh, it has even taken me to Singapore to train with many different cultures from all around the world at ITI. But most importantly, it has taught me what it truly means to be an artist.
