ECU Medical Science graduate
Gaining familiarity with industry standard practices and state-of-the-art equipment was priceless.
I'm extremely grateful for the opportunities ECU provided me within research and diagnostic environments. This included working in the PC2 labs, which are set-up with ample space for conducting experiments and analysis.
ECU Biomedical Science student
I've always wanted to pursue a career in medical research
I heard ECU's Biomedical Science course covered many aspects of medical research, including genetics and human biology, so I saw this as an opportunity to further my education in this field. I've been able to gain practical experience in a laboratory outside of university and found this has increased the value of my CV immensely.
I've also received the Fertility North Prize in Reproductive Biology. This award has opened the door for possible postgraduate studies in an established laboratory.
