Edith Cowan University Vice Chancellor Steve Chapman CBE said:
Edith Cowan University (ECU) is a quality-driven institution with admissions processes and a learning environment that ensures all our students thrive and succeed with their studies and future careers.
It is of concern to me that potential students and their families have been unnecessarily worried by misinformation circulating about ECU’s student recruitment approach in India.
I want to confirm there is no ban on Indian students – who we continue to, and look forward to, welcoming to join our ECU community.
ECU is continually proactive in its strategies to protect the integrity of our application processes, most importantly for the benefit of the potential students wanting to join our University community.
I can confirm that in January 2023, ECU temporarily paused Undergraduate student recruitment for the regions of Punjab and Haryana for Semester 2, 2023.
Consequently, ECU hosted a comprehensive webinar for ECU Education Agents from these regions to provide a dedicated opportunity for the representative network to understand the relevant details. This webinar was well received.
This prudent step by ECU has allowed us to undertake a review and refinement of our Undergraduate admissions settings for 2024 to ensure we maintain the highest standards.
We have continued to accept applications from these regions for Postgraduate courses and continue to receive strong Undergraduate applications from these regions.
At Edith Cowan University we know our international students are an incredibly important and enriching part our University community, bringing vibrant cultural experiences and diversity.
Our dedicated international team at ECU is closely monitoring the situation as a priority and doing everything possible to address difficulties being faced by any of our potential students as a result of this disruption.
