"I was immersed into a creative and ambitious environment"
Dane Alderson
WAAPA Bachelor of Jazz (Performance) graduate
The environment at WAAPA has helped me establish the skills I needed to further my musical career. Being able to learn from some of the finest jazz educators on the planet, while performing and jamming with like-minded students was imperative to my development as a full-time musician.
I look back at my journey through WAAPA with pride, gratitude and many fond memories.

"ECU has helped me realise the type of youth worker I want to be"
Mahendran Swominathan
Youth Work student
My study experience at ECU has been really enjoyable. The lecturers are extremely helpful, providing me with career advice as well as support within the course.
So far, I've undertaken three work placements, and all have been valuable. Not only have they helped me put theory into practice, they’ve also helped me realise the type of youth worker I want to be.
