    Jarni McGuire

    ECU Bachelor Marketing, Advertising and Public Relations

    ECU offers a high level of support for my studies

    The skills I have developed throughout my time at ECU have been invaluable. I was fortunate enough to complete an internship within the ECU's Corporate Marketing and Events Team, which gave me the opportunity to apply my learnings from my studies in a real world environment.

    Balancing family, work and study has been the biggest obstacle during my studies, however ECU offers a high level of support to enable me to keep pursuing my studies and move forward with a smile on my face.

    Dylan Hoyne

    ECU Bachelor of Laws graduate

    Since graduating from ECU, I've been able to secure a graduate position at one of the largest law firms in Australia, MinterEllison

    The focus of the Law degree at ECU is very practical. Some of my lecturers had held jobs in Parliament, ASIC, and the AAT, and were able to bring a very practical mindset to the units they taught, something I think is very important for those wishing to practice after they complete their degrees.

    My studies at ECU provided me with the essential framework to begin working in, and applying for corporate positions.
