"I chose ECU for their proactive teaching approach and their flexible learning options."
"My lecturers are knowledgeable and approachable. It’s great to learn from academics that enjoy teaching both the theoretical elements and practical components of their subject areas. With their support I’ve been able to develop my ability to critically evaluate situations and philosophies. The external learning options, such as recorded lectures and the extensive online library facilities have also really supported my studies."

Business brings out the best of the best
Each semester, our Business Edge students studying the BES1200 Business Knowledge unit, have the chance to make a business pitch to a panel of industry judges in the Best of the Best competition.
Working in teams, students create viable business proposals, with high-achieving teams being nominated to present their proposal in the competition. Students must then create an eight-minute pitch based on the elements of their assignment.
The teams deliver their proposals in a professional setting, gaining hands-on experience in making impressive presentations, and receive feedback from industry judges on their business ideas.

"Flexible study options means I don't have to choose between work and study."
"The biggest attraction of ECU was the opportunity to study externally or via night lectures. This has provided me with the flexibility and control I need to study at my own pace and still maintain full-time employment. Studying at ECU has given me confidence in myself, and I have secured an undergraduate accountant position after just one year of my degree, applying the skills and and knowledge I've learned so far, directly to my job."
