Student stories

  • Biomedical Science student, Callum Robinson

    Callum Robinson

    ECU Biomedical Science student

    I've always wanted to pursue a career in medical research

    I heard ECU's Biomedical Science course covered many aspects of medical research, including genetics and human biology, so I saw this as an opportunity to further my education in this field. I've been able to gain practical experience in a laboratory outside of university and found this has increased the value of my CV immensely.

    I've also received the Fertility North Prize in Reproductive Biology. This award has opened the door for possible postgraduate studies in an established laboratory.

    I feel safe and a sense of belonging when I am at ECU

    I chose ECU for biomedical science because it has a flexible course structure. In my three years of studies, I was allowed to take units that interested me as electives, while also completing compulsory (core) units. It enhanced my whole study experience.

    The atmosphere at ECU is inclusive and has a community feeling to it. I feel safe and a sense of belonging when I am at ECU. Lecturers are also very engaging and approachable which helped me keep track in my studies. They are knowledgeable and passionate about the things they do.

    ECU Biomedical Science student

    My experience at ECU has exceeded my expectations in many ways.

    From my very first week at ECU, I felt motivated and encouraged that I would do well. The lecturers are the best part of my study experience at ECU. They have always been supportive and helpful. I did not know that I would have the opportunity to learn so much about the practical side of biomedical science. I was aware there would be laboratory sessions but what I learnt was so much more.
