"Thanks to ECU I now find myself in a unique position."
"After completing my apprenticeship I was keen to develop my business knowledge and skills, so I applied through ECU’s STAT entry pathway. The STAT assesses your ability to think critically – rather than your knowledge of any specific academic subject.
I have to say, my ECU experience has been fantastic. The lecturers have been the highlight so far. Their knowledge is extensive and their consideration of individual needs helped me feel comfortable and confident.
The flexibility at ECU has been a really important factor in my success. I have managed to attain High Distinctions in assessments, while holding down a full-time job.
The ability to combine the practical skills I learnt from my apprenticeship, and the academic skills learnt at university, has put me in a unique position."
