Student stories

  • Amy Dixon

    Amy Dixon

    ECU postgraduate Neurological Rehabilitation student

    The knowledge I have learned has really improved my capabilities and I have noticed a confidence in my practice

    I am currently working in physiotherapy and wanted to specialise in neurological rehabilitation. I chose ECU as it was the only university in WA offering postgrad studies designed for increasing knowledge in neurological rehabilitation.

    I am enjoying studying online and the weekly modules are motivating. The content is relevant and thought provoking, and there are are plenty of opportunities to collaborate with peers using the discussion board.

  • 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.

  • Alex Beard

    Alexander Beard

    Bachelor of Performing Arts student

    WAAPA has led to opportunities I would never have thought realistic three years ago

    This is largely thanks to the incredible work of the staff who go out of their way to help each student realise their ambitions. The most rewarding parts of the course, so far, for me have been devising and performing a solo piece, working with James Berlyn on Memory Bones at His Majesty's Theatre. And also the study tour to the Intercultural Theatre Institute in Singapore in early 2017.

    If you're interested in writing, directing, performing and/or running your own theatre company, this is the course for you.
