I chose ECU because it offered fully online units with fantastic student support, which was ideal when I was working full time at the start of my degree
My entire world view has been expanded by studying at ECU. I had no real idea how complicated Finance was before I started. The further into my studies I have progressed, the more I have leant on things I picked up in the first year introductory classes. The skills I have picked up during my course have always had a compounding effect and I now feel comfortable to market myself to employers.
I love to recommend Perth and my school to the whole world!
I chose ECU because it was the first school in Western Australia (WA) to offer hospitality management courses, and the teaching level and quality is high.
My biggest achievement so far is being a Student Ambassador of Perth 2020-2021. I love to recommend Perth and my school to the whole world!
I think the most distinctive feature of Perth is its excellent natural environment. It has the most beautiful sunset in the world and its market culture is the best.
Living in WA, you can meet different people and cultures from all over the world. This kind of cultural collision can make people more tolerant.
Being amongst this great, positive, buzzing energy at campus is the best feeling and I look forward to it every week
I chose to study International Hotel and Resort Management, as I was already working in the industry and it had a range of units that would help me in upskilling.
The lecturers I have had are very supportive and helpful. The skills and knowledge I've gained help me with my current job, as I am more multi-skilled and assist now in different areas. The ongoing learning also helped me with my other units, one thing flows into another which has been a big help.
ECU has a great range of support services for students. Having not studied in many years, it took a while to re-adjust to studying at university level. The learning advisors are great, and have helped me significantly with my assignments, particularly with assisting how to write in the third person and using academic language.
