The personal development aspects of the ECU MBA course are highly underrated.
The positive outcomes from my studies are not only limited to my new knowledge base; I feel that the personal development aspects of the ECU MBA course are highly underrated. I have grown from being quite an introverted individual to one who can now have confidence when standing up in front of a packed room!
Being amongst this great, positive, buzzing energy at campus is the best feeling and I look forward to it every week
I chose to study International Hotel and Resort Management, as I was already working in the industry and it had a range of units that would help me in upskilling.
The lecturers I have had are very supportive and helpful. The skills and knowledge I've gained help me with my current job, as I am more multi-skilled and assist now in different areas. The ongoing learning also helped me with my other units, one thing flows into another which has been a big help.
ECU has a great range of support services for students. Having not studied in many years, it took a while to re-adjust to studying at university level. The learning advisors are great, and have helped me significantly with my assignments, particularly with assisting how to write in the third person and using academic language.
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.
