ECU Youth Work graduate
ECU gives you the ability to apply your knowledge, and to experience what the industry is like
My experience studying at ECU has been great! The lecturers have been extremely helpful and the flexibility of the course has allowed me to adapt my studies to my lifestyle. At one stage, I was living in Italy, and was able to study online for a semester.
ECU also has a great reputation for providing practical experience opportunities. One of the practical placements I've already completed went so well that a year later I am still mentoring at the organisation.
ECU Broadcasting graduate & Channel 9 Perth News presenter
I chose ECU because it is simply the best option for studying broadcasting in WA
You get so much hands-on experience and real-world advice from lecturers and tutors who are often professionals in the industry.
The lecturers offered a no-nonsense approach to the industry and really prepared me for a field of work that is not glamorous and not for the faint-hearted.
I had no misconceptions about what I was signing up for which made me feel more than prepared for work experience. I have stayed in contact with my lecturer and she continues to help me with my career decisions – even today.

I wanted more from my job, to be more involved with children and families who are disadvantaged
I worked in childcare for many years and had worked my way up to management. I wanted more from my job, and wanted to be more involved with children and families who are disadvantaged. I never had a bad experience with any lecturer; they were always happy to help, listen and challenge my thinking.
And I didn't know how valuable the networking would be and how many opportunities it would open up. It was so much more than studying further to get a job.
