Student stories
My postgraduate Project Management degree helped in securing a job
I am currently working at the Public Transport Authority (PTA) as a Project Support Officer. My postgraduate Project Management degree helped in securing a job, as most of my colleagues had extensive work experience. I am the youngest team member and was able to get this opportunity solely because of my studies at ECU.
I love to recommend Perth and my school to the whole world!
I chose ECU because it was the first school in Western Australia (WA) to offer hospitality management courses, and the teaching level and quality is high.
My biggest achievement so far is being a Student Ambassador of Perth 2020-2021. I love to recommend Perth and my school to the whole world!
I think the most distinctive feature of Perth is its excellent natural environment. It has the most beautiful sunset in the world and its market culture is the best.
Living in WA, you can meet different people and cultures from all over the world. This kind of cultural collision can make people more tolerant.

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.
