Student stories

  • Angela Marchese

    Angela Marchese

    ECU Project Management and Human Resource Management student

    My work placement will count as credit towards my degree

    I graduated from high school as one of the top ten achievers in my year. ECU's School of Business and Law has an outstanding reputation so I applied for direct entry using my high school results. The facilities at ECU are exceptional and I feel so lucky to have access to them. All students have access to unlimited Wi-Fi, library resources and computer facilities as well as private study rooms and areas. The lecturers are qualified, helpful and friendly, making me comfortable in my studies. These facilities give me the ability to complete every assignment to a desired standard. I also have the opportunity to complete a work placement for a company provided by ECU that will count as credit towards my degree.

  • Maharshi Maharjan

    Maharshi Maharjan

    ECU Master of Project Management graduate

    I chose ECU because I liked the units offered and the structure of the course, and the location was amazing, especially coming from a landlocked country!

    Adapting to the learning and teaching systems of a different country was a challenge, but the lecturers, tutors and many academic support networks were extremely helpful and assisted me in achieving academic success.

    Coping with living in a new environment and having to work under stress were big challenges at the start of my degree, but dealing with this pressure is now my greatest strength.
