Student stories

  • Jesse Hesford

    Jesse Hesford

    ECU Exercise & Sports Science graduate. Former Head of 1st Team Performance Analysis, Perth Glory

    The course prepared me for a role with Perth Glory Football Club.

    The football performance major is not just about the football. It's not just about being on-ground, learning about the tactics or the principle of play; it's so much more than that. Like learning about skill acquisition or learning about leadership and sports psychology, which was of great interest to me.

  • Mariah O'Dea

    Mariah O'Dea

    WAAPA Performing Arts graduate

    The Bachelor of Performing Arts has given me the skills to maintain, develop and practice as an independent artist

    The Bachelor of Performing Arts is the type of course that doesn't confine you to one specific artistic form. Instead it opens doors and windows to numerous forms of performance art and how it exists in the world, broadening your own horizons of how you can be a part of it.

    It has let me experience what was once unknown practices such as the Suzuki Training Method and Butoh, it has even taken me to Singapore to train with many different cultures from all around the world at ITI. But most importantly, it has taught me what it truly means to be an artist.

  • Holly Winkle

    ECU Marine and Freshwater Biology student

    Field experience and flexibility

    Environmental Science and Marine and Biology student Holly Winkle talks about having the flexibility to study across disciplines.
