pathways to ECU image

PIBT in association with Edith Cowan University offers programs for students needing academic preparation before entering a University degree program.

The association between ECU and PIBT is designed to offer students who do not meet ECU entry requirements a convenient alternative entry pathway into Year 1 or Year 2 of selected ECU bachelor degrees. PIBT provides courses in the areas of business, commerce, media, communications, computing and IT, science and law at both preuniversity and university Levels. The PIBT Diplomas are fully accredited as Higher Education Diplomas and are recognised by ECU for advanced standing. Diploma holders are guaranteed a place in second year of the respective ECU Bachelor degree. No further entry test is required.

Already a large number of PIBT students have taken this pathway and gone on to successfully complete a degree with ECU.
