Tailored Study Abroad Programs

At ECU, we teach and graduate global citizens who understand their role in the international community and encourage them to think creatively to global challenges. They achieve a high-level of cultural competency and they know how to apply it.

We work with partners who mirror this ambition to meet their internationalisation goals.

One of the ways we do this is through our Tailored Study Abroad programs, which welcome cohorts of international students to ECU to study English language and academic classes. This is supported through our award-winning Experiencing Australia Program (EAP): a social and cultural engagement component that creates an environment of inclusivity for visiting students.

The EAP is enabled by ECU student volunteers called Buddy Ambassadors. Together, students and Buddy Ambassadors attend activities on and off campus, exploring the ECU community and iconic Perth locations.

This creates important peer networks that often extend well beyond the Study Abroad course.

ECU has considerable experience developing these dynamic programs to match partner goals. Programs range from three weeks to one semester, with cohorts of 15 students to upwards of 100. For more information please read through our detailed Program Guide and flyers below:

Fast facts:

  • ECU has supported more than 1,800 international students to complete a tailored program.
  • We can develop tailored programs for all ECU partners.
  • Over 1000 students have volunteered as Buddy Ambassadors in tailored programs, often for multiple semesters - students should submit expressions of interest to join the program here

We encourage international partners and instituitions to reach out today to discuss how we can develop a program to suit your institutional internationalisation goals by emailing international.office@ecu.edu.au.
