Student stories
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.
