I graduated from ECU feeling confident, and with the ability to be versatile in my career
I began studying at another uni but transferred to ECU because of the smaller class sizes and personable lecturers who made me feel valued and supported. ECU provided a well-rounded degree, allowing me to analyse problems through critical thinking. I also loved interacting with students from different age groups and backgrounds.
My ECU studies have taught me that hard work pays off
My study experience has been amazing and I am grateful for the connections I have built with friends from my futsal team, who I now consider my family.
I first began my journey with ECU through the Indigenous University Orientation Course. This pathway gave me the guidance and time to help me pick a career I am passionate about.
The lecturers offer great support and will always do their best to help you out when you need.
My ECU studies have taught me that hard work pays off and I am proving that more and more each semester, as I get closer to the end of my studies.
My work placement at AMD Chartered Accountants will help me prepare for my future career
I already had a strong finance background and wanted to extend my knowledge. ECU's South West Campus has allowed me to pursue studies while still living in Bunbury. The ongoing support from lecturers has been phenomenal and I’ve made friends for life.
