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.
The internship I completed in my final semester has been the perfect stepping stone to advance my career
I chose to study International Hotel and Resort Management at ECU because I had heard of the practical nature of the course. My lecturers were very experienced in the hospitality and tourism industry and provided real life examples and case studies to link theory with current industry practice.
I was lucky enough to take part in the Borneo study tour, and no words can describe how amazing that experience was. In my final semester at ECU, I was able to secure an internship placement. Since graduating, I have been accepted into the graduate program at Accor hotels, where I will be relocating to Broome.
This place is definitely a home away from home
I have been working as a marketing professional for over six years in the Philippines. I chose to study Marketing and Innovation Management to enhance my marketing skills and acquire knowledge on an international level. I chose ECU because I know Filipino friends who have studied here had a great experience, and they feel really at home in this university.
The thing I love about Perth is that everything I love is very close to me. The lifestyle is mainly spending your free time outdoors. This is definitely a home away from home.
