Patrick Ruitenga
ECU Accounting and Finance graduate
I graduated from ECU feeling confident, and with the ability to be versatile in my career
I began studying at another uni but transferred to ECU because of the smaller class sizes and personable lecturers who made me feel valued and supported. ECU provided a well-rounded degree, allowing me to analyse problems through critical thinking. I also loved interacting with students from different age groups and backgrounds.
