Why choose ECU?

Good question. It's what other organisations ask our graduates every year...

It's how we learned from QILT that we're Australia's top-ranked public university for undergraduate teaching quality and skills development.

We also learned from the Good Universities Guide that graduates have rated our teaching quality 5 stars for 12 years in a row.

And it's how we know that we're one of the best young universities in the world under 50 years old.

So the real question is, why not choose ECU?
