Student stories

  • Jaimee Klaassen

    Jaimee Klaassen

    ECU Speech Pathology student

    I love neurology, psychology and anatomy and Speech Pathology encompasses all of these things

    One of the best things about studying Speech Pathology at ECU is doing prac straight away, even from Semester 1 of first year. I’ve been exposed to what Speech Pathology actually looks like and what the profession entails, beyond being in a clinic, which has confirmed that this is the right career for me.

    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'm so grateful I was able to do a practicum placement.

    My placement was significant to my success and led to my dream job at Foodbank WA. This wouldn't have been possible without help from my lecturers.
