Student stories
-
The Arts Management degree gave me the skills and contacts to form a fantastic career in the arts industry
In my role as Head of Media and Client Relations at AKA, my team and I formulate strategy and execute end-to-end marketing campaigns for commercial theatre, not-for-profit theatre companies, galleries and museums, major events and a diverse range of other arts and entertainment forms.
WAAPA set me up to be confident in the industry, no matter what I have ended up working on.
-
I chose ECU because it offered fully online units with fantastic student support, which was ideal when I was working full time at the start of my degree
My entire world view has been expanded by studying at ECU. I had no real idea how complicated Finance was before I started. The further into my studies I have progressed, the more I have leant on things I picked up in the first year introductory classes. The skills I have picked up during my course have always had a compounding effect and I now feel comfortable to market myself to employers.

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.
