My course allowed me to do things most people only dream about
Fieldwork is an important part of the Biological Sciences course. I was able to help with reptile surveys and research projects all over the state.
These opportunities took me to stunning areas of WA, including the Kimberley, and allowed me to get up close and personal with elusive species of native fauna that most people don't even know exist.
This course has given me so much hope for the future.
Being introduced to different pathways of possible work through guest lectures, online meetings with past graduates and field trips, plus help finding work experience was all valuable. My work experience opportunities as an Environmental Vacation Student, and later as a part-time Environmental Technician at Alcoa, led me to securing a three-year graduate environmental scientist position there, a great outcome for me. This course has given me so much hope for the future.
Things you should know about if you're thinking about studying here.
There's more than one admission pathway into an ECU course. It depends on what you've studied already, or your work or life experience.
Course tuition fees can change, but we can give you an estimate of your costs. If you're eligible, a scholarship or student loan can help too.
Applying for a course is a fairly simple process, especially if you have scanned copies of qualifications, your resume or other paperwork, ready to upload.
Starting a course is an exciting and sometimes daunting time, so we make a massive effort to ensure you get all the support you need to have a positive experience.
