Student stories

I thought there was no way I could fit law studies into my busy life
My passion was to study law, but after having kids I thought I could never fit law studies into my busy life. Then a friend told me I could study online at ECU. My studies have now gone so well that I've represented ECU in a national mooting competition for students.

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.
Apart from the internship, I was fortunate to undertake a work placement program 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.
