"Business at ECU gave me confidence for the real world through industry placements."
"I had taken some time out after high school and felt the University Preparation Course was the best path to take to commence my pursuit of attaining a Bachelor of Business.
I was attracted to Business because of the practical nature of the course. I felt I would be more confident with some hands-on experience behind me, and the industry placements I’ve undertaken have certainly given me an opportunity to experience a range of businesses, and practices. Last year I came fourth in the Deloitte Dream Team competition.
Plus, with the law units I’ve incorporated into my Business degree, covering topics like regulation and tax law for corporate business, I feel ahead of the game."
