Industry

The School of Business and Law develops industry-ready graduates who not only have strong discipline knowledge, but also have the employability skills and industry insights necessary to gain a competitive advantage in the global job market.

We value engagement with industry, government and the community through a variety of initiatives at a local, national and international level.

Our industry partners are invited to actively participate in the supported learning environment of our students. This involvement has helped ECU rank as the top public university in Australia for overall educational experience, for the second year in a row in the Quality Indicators in Learning and Teaching (QILT) Survey.

The School seeks meaningful, long-term and sustainable relationships with mutual benefit. Some key engagement areas include:
