Am I a non school leaver?
If you are an Australian citizen or permanent resident and are looking at university study after several years away from formal education and will be over the age of 20 years in the year you're intending to commence studies; then you're considered a non school leaver.
We offer a wide range of alternative entry pathways which non school leavers can use to gain entry into many of our courses.

Experience and prior learning counts
You don't necessarily need a degree to apply for a postgraduate course, at ECU your real-life, industry experience can count! If you have a minimum of five years relevant professional experience, then you may be eligible for entry into one of our Graduate Certificate programs. More information.
We recognise your previous learning and experience
If you are applying for an undergraduate course and have completed previous tertiary study; or you've completed a Diploma or above at a Registered Training Organisation; or you have significant equivalent professional experience or professional qualifications; you may be eligible for advanced standing within your course.
Study where it suits you
Off-campus study is a mode of delivery as an option to students, who for reasons such as distance, domestic responsibilities, work commitments or disability would prefer to study off-campus.
