Student stories

  • Emilie Lowe

    Emilie Lowe

    ECU Arts (Writing) student

    ECU has provided the flexibility for me to create a full-length feature at 21

    My greatest challenge has always been overcoming my struggle with dyslexia, especially something such as writing. But ECU's lecturers and staff have been vital in helping me on this journey. They taught me the knowledge and skills and provided the flexibility for me to create a full-length feature at only 21. I cannot wait to showcase all that the university has taught me on the big screen!

  • Hania Owsinski

    Hania Owsinski

    ECU Communications graduate & Account Executive, Financial Times (New York)

    Had I not studied at ECU, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to go to New York after graduating

    The study tour and industry links gave me a window into my future. And unlike many university courses, you gain first-hand insight into every aspect of the advertising industry from media planning, to art direction, copywriting and branding.

  • Aryana Eraman

    Aryana Eraman

    ECU Design graduate and UX Designer at IBM

    I recommend getting a taste of as many different fields of Design while you are at university.

    My tutor recommended I apply for the UX Designer role as part of the IBM-ECU Internship program. As I completed my internship, I was offered a position as a full-time graduate at IBM. I now work full-time with a major mining company client as the sole UX/UI Designer on my IBM team and as a Business Analyst.
