I never imagined that an MBA could give you so much more than knowledge
During my studies I was taught leadership skills and have managed human resources, financial resources, and physical assets. I learnt the skills and knowledge to deliver services that align to the business objectives in a range of business areas.

Work placements at sports organisations were extremely valuable
I have always wanted to work in sport and events, so ECU's Sport, Recreation and Event Management course was a perfect choice, as it enabled me to mix the sport side of study with business.
Work placements at sports organisations throughout my degree have been extremely valuable. I gained hands-on experience at the Perth Wildcats, West Perth Football Club, and Badminton WA.
