ECU's South West Campus, and online options, made studying commerce possible
I had always wanted to study again, but the timing was never right. After moving to Bunbury, I was no longer working full-time and had small children at home. It finally felt like a good time to go back to uni. I am completing the remainder of my course online and am really enjoying the flexibility.
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.
