"I have been able to tailor my studies to suit my work and family commitments. "

"There are so many reasons why studying law at ECU has worked for me. The flexibility of online studies has allowed me to tailor my studies to suit my work and family commitments. The access I have to senior teaching staff and online research resources is absolutely invaluable. And, the opportunity to compete in local and international competitions has enabled me to develop world class advocacy skills. In addition to this, I have taken work placements in Community Legal Centres in Bunbury, Joondalup, and Mirrabooka. Exposure to real world clients and the variety of legal issues that arise has opened my eyes to the reality of legal practice, and brought my skills together in a workplace environment."

"I’ve always had an interest in marketing, advertising and PR."

"Marketing, Advertising and PR work hand-in-hand in the real world, so it made sense to unite them at uni too. The combined degree at ECU allowed me to study all three. We experienced the end-to-end process from PR consultant, to journalist, to publishing in classes that mirrored the real world. One of my units was held in an awesome computer lab where we were plugged in to live blogs and industry news – this was a great way to learn how to write a timely and successful press release."

"I found the business edge units to be highly beneficial."

"I have completed three Business Edge units and been able to identify my strengths and weaknesses. This has helped me to work on my areas of weakness, as well as grow my confidence, particularly with public speaking and networking. The lecturers here genuinely care about how you are progressing and I have always been able to get help and guidance when needed. And there are so many opportunities to learn and grow. I am part of ECU Enactus, a voluntary organisation, and earlier last year I was sponsored by Enactus to attend the International Conference in Beijing, China. It was an amazing experience, and I brought home a wealth of information for our team which we have used to grow and will help us to prepare for the upcoming National Conference."

"My parliamentary internship gave me insight into the political arena of law."

"It has definitely assisted me with my career as my research paper was published and discussed in Parliament, and my contribution acknowledged by the MP. I was also fortunate to undertake a work placement with the Law Society of Western Australia, in their Law Access Division. This gave me an insight into the pro bono area of work for law. I've had a great experience at ECU. You are taught to challenge yourself outside of a textbook and incorporate theoretical knowledge into practical experience."
