QILT backs our reputation for teaching quality

"Study groups are friendly and easy-going."

Studying at ECU has been both hard work and rewarding. I have a lot in common with my fellow students. We share the same interests and goals, so lectures and study groups are friendly and easy-going. One of my most significant achievements has been receiving the Engineering Excellence Scholarship.

"My course allowed me to do things most people only dream about"

Fieldwork is an important part of the Biological Sciences course. I was able to help with reptile surveys and research projects all over the state.

These opportunities took me to stunning areas of WA, including the Kimberley, and allowed me to get up close and personal with elusive species of native fauna that most people don't even know exist.

"The Arts Management degree gave me the skills and contacts to form a fantastic career in the arts industry"

In my role as Head of Media and Client Relations at AKA, my team and I formulate the strategy for and execute large and small scale end-to-end marketing campaigns for commercial theatre, not-for-profit theatre companies, galleries and museums, major events and a diverse range of other arts and entertainment forms.

Having had exposure to all of these, WAAPA set me up to be confident in the industry, no matter what I have ended up working on. The networking opportunities with graduates who are leaders in their field and the intensive secondment program put me in both large and small organisations and allowed me to meet people who are now my close colleagues.

Since leaving WAAPA, I've worked alongside many Arts Management graduates who are now the top marketers, producers, development professionals and managers in the arts industry and we always have a strong bond.
