Overview

If you are a secondary school teacher or a career counsellor advising students about their university study options, we have collated information for you on our undergraduate courses, entry pathways, special programs, resources to assist you and much more.

The first task is to determine whether your student(s) would be classed as a School leaver or a Non school leaver, given entry pathway options and advice will change dependent:

  • If they are an Australian citizen or permanent resident and are looking at university study and are over the age of 20 years either:

    • before 1 March if they want to commence a course with us in semester one of that year, or
    • before 1 August if they want to commence a course with us in semester two (mid year) of that year

    They are a Non school leaver

  • If they are an Australian secondary school student who will be under the age of 20 years either:

    • by the 1 March if they want to commence a course with us in semester one of that year, or
    • by the 1 August if they want to commence a course with us in semester two (mid year) of that year

    They are a School leaver

The information in this section applies to students who are an Australian citizen or permanent resident, information for prospective students who are neither can be found in our information for International students.

We offer a large selection of courses and disciplines across our study areas, with the right balance of practical knowledge and academic excellence and a wide range of study options. If you want to reach your potential in a learning environment that is supportive, flexible and relevant to the real world - then you've come to the right place.

Year 12s get stuck into communication and arts

Our School of Communications and Arts recently hosted 340 year 12 students to get a taste of ECU’s arts, media and digital communication units at the Mount Lawley Campus.

At three one-day "Intensives" the students enjoyed a day of free lectures and hands-on studio workshops, including the chance to record their own mini film, act as a news reporter, draw portraits with a life model and also construct their own virtual games.

The activities were a great opportunity for students to extend their learning in a tertiary environment. Students involved enjoyed the experience and when asked what the best part about the workshops was, one student said it was "being able to participate in lots of different activities and get a real feel for how the courses are." Another student added that he "enjoyed learning new things from professionals."

The workshops are designed to offer hands-on experiences for students. Not only do the students get to see what the courses entail, but they also know what is expected of them when they enter the field.

If your school is interested in these workshops, please contact our School of Communications and Arts through info.sca@ecu.edu.au.
