Student stories

  • 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.

  • ECU's South West Campus, and online options, made studying commerce possible

    I had always wanted to study again, but the timing was never right. After moving to Bunbury, I was no longer working full-time and had small children at home. It finally felt like a good time to go back to uni. I am completing the remainder of my course online and am really enjoying the flexibility.

  • The clinical practice wards and simulation patients at ECU are as close as you’ll get to the real thing

    I've wanted to be a nurse since I was 16 after I helped deliver my aunt's baby, so that just set the wheels in motion. I felt comfortable studying at ECU and practicing my clinical skills before I went go out into the real hospital environment. I can honestly say that my lecturers and tutors were the best of the best.
