    Invaluable student experiences

    ECU Law student Alan Watkins talks about the unexpected work experience he's enjoyed while studying here.

  • Dylan Hoyne

    Dylan Hoyne

    ECU Bachelor of Laws graduate

    Since graduating from ECU, I've been able to secure a graduate position at one of the largest law firms in Australia, MinterEllison

    The focus of the Law degree at ECU is very practical. Some of my lecturers had held jobs in Parliament, ASIC, and the AAT, and were able to bring a very practical mindset to the units they taught, something I think is very important for those wishing to practice after they complete their degrees.

    My studies at ECU provided me with the essential framework to begin working in, and applying for corporate positions.
