ECU ticks all the boxes
Before starting your studies, consider if the university has good facilities, good lecturers, the support available and even talk to students to get to know better the university are you getting into. ECU ticks all these boxes and you won't regret studying here!
The facilities here are amazing! There are stylish buildings with the best equipment to facilitate learning, the lecturers are very good teachers who challenge us to think critically but are also open to have a chat or a coffee just to ask if everything is fine. They also give us tips about getting a job and what is expected in our assessments.
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.
I thought there was no way I could fit law studies into my busy life
My passion was to study law, but after having kids I thought I could never fit law studies into my busy life. Then a friend told me I could study online at ECU. My studies have now gone so well that I've represented ECU in a national mooting competition for students.
Things you should know about if you're thinking about studying here.
There's more than one admission pathway into an ECU course. It depends on what you've studied already, or your work or life experience.
Course tuition fees can change, but we can give you an estimate of your costs. If you're eligible, a scholarship or student loan can help too.
Applying for a course is a fairly simple process, especially if you have scanned copies of qualifications, your resume or other paperwork, ready to upload.
Starting a course is an exciting and sometimes daunting time, so we make a massive effort to ensure you get all the support you need to have a positive experience.
