Student stories
I didn't even consider a different university when I decided to start my PhD
My lecturers and tutors have always accommodated my family-study balance and were willing to listen and help me out.
My greatest achievement has been completing my tertiary education and now attempting to obtain my PhD while being a full-time carer of three children.
This has only been possible because of the flexibility at ECU.
The amount of assistance, resources, contacts and workshops ECU provides along the way helps make this challenging journey as easy as possible.

The personal development aspects of the ECU MBA course are highly underrated.
The positive outcomes from my studies are not only limited to my new knowledge base; I feel that the personal development aspects of the ECU MBA course are highly underrated. I have grown from being quite an introverted individual to one who can now have confidence when standing up in front of a packed room!

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.
