Seize every opportunity; go to network events, meet new people, and expand your horizons
I chose ECU because I wanted to combine my passion for Computer Science with Accounting. As a direct relation to my studies, I now work at Deloitte as a Forensic Analyst. This involves a deep understanding of computer databases, whilst applying Accounting knowledge.
Landing a full-time job before I'd even graduated makes me very proud
I learned the practical skills I needed in class and developed them further with the Work Integrated Learning program.
Before completing the program I had developed a new passion in accessibility and was offered a full-time position as a Digital Accessibility Analyst.
I owe my knowledge to ECU's lecturers – their passion made their courses interesting and therefore made you want to learn.
