The School of Business and Law's Hospitality and Tourism Management program now leads the State, ranking in the world's top 30 and third in the nation.

ECU is newly ranked in Oceanography, and Metallurgical Engineering was featured in the world's top 75 and Nursing in the world’s top 150.

These recent rankings have also seen Education rise into the top 200 and Chemical Engineering enter the top 300.

Our academics have also gained individual recognition internationally, with two Tourism academics having just been placed amongst the top two per cent of scientists in the world by the Stanford University list.

ECU students gain great benefit from this wealth of experience on offer and the calibre of the research-informed curriculum which is providing them with a competitive edge upon graduation.

Current workforce shortages have helped to highlight how important competent and committed employees are for the State.

ECU's courses are actively supporting the industry and its future growth by continuing to deliver cutting edge research and servicing the current demand for high quality graduates.

This is why ECU is so renowned for producing work-ready graduates and so many organisations and businesses are keen to host students on work-integrated placements.

The ShanghaiRankings use the Global Ranking of Academic Subjects (GRAS) methodology which contains rankings of universities in 54 subjects and now more than 1,800 universities across 96 countries and regions are finally listed in the rankings.

The GRAS rankings use a range of objective academic indicators and third-party data to measure the performance of world universities in respective subjects, including research output, research influence, international collaboration, research quality, and international academic awards.
