The experience studying online at ECU has been incredible
The content of the units and the way it’s presented is incredibly professional and I’ve really enjoyed the course so far. I look forward to giving it my all while also working on my racing career.
Being part of such a diverse community makes it magical
The environment and vibe at ECU encourages you to put in more effort. I strongly recommend living on campus in the ECU village. Being surrounded by students from all over the world and being part of such a diverse community makes it magical. I'm halfway through my degree, but I can already say that ECU has offered me the resources and circumstances to succeed.
There are fantastic opportunities to learn and grow and it looks great on your resume!
One of the things I didn't know before I started my course was the plethora of opportunities ECU provides to students – from networking events to volunteering opportunities. It has been the most valuable aspect for me and helped me get involved with running and attending different workshops to spread knowledge about cyber security and to learn about what it's like working within the industry.
