Student stories

  • The course prepared me for a role with Perth Glory Football Club.

    The football performance major is not just about the football. It's not just about being on-ground, learning about the tactics or the principle of play; it's so much more than that. Like learning about skill acquisition or learning about leadership and sports psychology, which was of great interest to me.

  • The level of personal attention offered by SW staff is hard to beat

    Nursing student Lachie came to ECU via UniPrep and is now fulfilling a dream by studying at university in the place he loves.

  • Since graduating from ECU, I've been able to secure a graduate position at one of the largest law firms in Australia, MinterEllison

    The focus of the Law degree at ECU is very practical. Some of my lecturers had held jobs in Parliament, ASIC, and the AAT, and were able to bring a very practical mindset to the units they taught, something I think is very important for those wishing to practice after they complete their degrees.

    My studies at ECU provided me with the essential framework to begin working in, and applying for corporate positions.
