Mid-year FAQs

Latest answers to common questions about studying in Semester 2 and beyond.

  • Not exactly. Lectures with more than 40 students will continue to be provided online due to social distancing requirements.

    We expect that all lectures of fewer than 40 students, tutorials, workshops, labs and pracs will, at this stage, be delivered on campus, provided they can be done so safely and according to Government requirements.

    When the restrictions are eased, we'll return to normal campus life, but that will depend on advice from the WA and Federal Governments.

    Also, students who are considered vulnerable according to the Government's COVID-19 guidelines will require special arrangements.

  • Semester 2 will commence on Monday 27 July. All new students will be asked to participate in an online Orientation program, starting on 20 July.

    Orientation Week helps you prepare for uni life, including understanding more about the course you've enrolled in, what systems you'll be using as a student, and even getting to know some of your (virtual) peers.

Courses

Student stories

    International Hotel and Resort Management graduate

    "I've made many friends from all over the world with this degree"

    International Hotel and Resort Management graduate, John talks about the benefits of studying this course and his personal experience at ECU.

  • Jordan Butler

    Jordan Butler

    ECU Civil Engineering graduate

    "If you want a well-rounded and practical experience, definitely study Engineering at ECU"

    My advice to students would be to study to get a job, not to get a degree. Maximise your opportunities to get experience that will get you a career. So for me, that was participating in Engineering societies, going overseas, joining the Vice‑Chancellor's forum and so forth. All of these gave me interpersonal skills and international experience.

    I was also named the WA Young Professional Engineer of the Year 2018 at the Engineers Australia WA Engineering Excellence Awards.

    If you want a well‑rounded and practical experience, definitely study Engineering at ECU.

    Bachelor of Arts (Dance) student

    "WAAPA has been such a fantastic institution for me to study at"

    Being able to complete a Diploma, then an Advanced Diploma, and then articulate into a Bachelor of Arts (Dance) is just amazing. The dance faculty is outstanding and staff are really helpful in guiding everyone on their own individual journey. For example, they gave me their whole-hearted support in entering me in the Genée International Ballet Competition last year, leading to my selection as a finalist to perform at the Sydney Opera House.
