Student stories
I have no doubt I came to the right place for my doctoral degree
I chose to do my doctorate here because I found the PhD in Business program at the School of Business and Law to be focused on conducting cutting edge and innovative research in areas that are relevant to the global community. I found my supervisors to be very supportive and dedicated to supervising my research work, they create an enabling learning environment that help me to develop my research skills and competencies.
ECU is a great place to study. It carries this climate of a modern, world-class and ambitious institution. It looks like a place I can achieve my goals and aspirations. I have no doubt I came to the right place.

This place is definitely a home away from home
I have been working as a marketing professional for over six years in the Philippines. I chose to study Marketing and Innovation Management to enhance my marketing skills and acquire knowledge on an international level. I chose ECU because I know Filipino friends who have studied here had a great experience, and they feel really at home in this university.
The thing I love about Perth is that everything I love is very close to me. The lifestyle is mainly spending your free time outdoors. This is definitely a home away from home.
Raisa Enego ECU Master of Marketing and Innovation Management student, Philippines
Perth is one of the most relaxed and beautiful cities I've been so far.
I chose to take up my postgraduate studies at ECU because of its diversified and friendly approach among international students. For the past two semesters I've made friends with students of different nationalities. Perth is one of the most relaxed and beautiful cities I've been so far. People are so friendly and welcoming. I love exploring Perth's beautiful beaches.
My study tip: Be emotionally and mentally prepared as you'll enter a challenging and life-changing journey. However, don't forget to enjoy and make the most out of your learning journey because with ECU it will be possible.
