"Hands-on learning was great for my skill-level and confidence!"
"Why ECU? Two reasons really. Firstly the class sizes allow for excellent student lecturer interaction, and secondly, the practical nature of the course means you get out there and experience the profession from year one. The fieldwork is hands-on, allowing you to practice what you've learnt at uni, and your confidence really increases with the support you receive from staff and fellow students. You also learn how to be a better communicator. After all it's crucial that you can connect with a patient. All in all I found ECU a warm, inspiring and supportive environment. I'd recommend it to anyone."
