Who was Edith Cowan?
Edith Cowan University recognises the achievements of a remarkable Western Australian woman, Edith Dirksey Cowan. Edith Cowan OBE believed that education was fundamental to tackling the social issues of the day, and that it was the key to growth, change and improvement. Her tireless work influenced the course of education in Australia, paving the way for many people to access education they could only previously dream of. In 1921, Edith Cowan was the first woman elected to an Australian Parliament. She was also instrumental in Western Australian women obtaining voting rights and expanding access to education, and many professions, to females. Edith Cowan’s portrait is in the Western Australian Art Gallery and also adorns the Australian $50 note.

“I’ve always been passionate about helping society which is why I chose to study Social Science at ECU. This was the best decision I’ve made.” The lecturers are friendly, understanding and helpful. I had no idea that the course would be so practical in regards to coming up with solutions to problems that might be encountered by the community. I undertook a work placement, which was amazing as I was involved with offenders who were working in the community. The course enabled me to interact with people at a different level, and develop my skills on how to handle future challenges. I was gratified by the number of things I’ve been able to accomplish, including winning the Champions award by the VC and serving as the Athletic Captain and Vice President – Social Activity at the ECU Guild. I believe ECU has been the cornerstone to my success as I am now a confident adult who is able to face challenges as they come.

“I chose ECU because I liked the units offered and the structure of the course, and the location was amazing, especially coming from a landlocked country!” Studying at ECU was full of learning experiences. Adapting to the learning and teaching systems of a different country was a challenge, but the lecturers, tutors and many different academic support networks were extremely helpful and assisted me in achieving academic success. The course has helped me greatly with developing time management skills. Coping with living in a new environment and having to work under stress were big challenges at the start of my degree, but dealing with this pressure is now my greatest strength. Whilst studying at ECU I had the opportunity to complete an internship at Landgate. This opportunity helped link theory to practice in the contemporary project environment. The skills I have learnt, and the network I have been able to build though out this experience will undoubtedly help me to excel in my professional career.

“ECU has supported me all the way.” I wanted to choose a university whose foundation is strong and I like the fact ECU’s Master of Engineering is professionally accredited by Engineers Australia. Civil engineering is one of the core fields of the engineering industry. The benefit of doing construction projects during your Master’s studies is that you can exercise the technical skills learned at university. After completing my engineering practicum, I have been able to secure a position as a part-time Graduate Civil Engineer with a construction firm in Perth. The first construction site I was appointed at was a bridge construction project in the heart of Perth. Such an opportunity allowed me to not only build my experience as a Site Engineer, but also to work with a very efficient team of civil engineers and deliver the project. During my journey, I’ve learnt that you can always get help if you ask. ECU has supported me all the way, through continued support of lecturers and through the help of student services.

“I feel safe and a sense of belonging when I am at ECU.” I chose ECU for biomedical science because it has a flexible course structure. In my three years of studies, I was allowed to take units that interest me as electives, while also completing compulsory (core) units. It enhanced my whole study experience. The atmosphere at ECU is inclusive and has a community feeling to it. I feel safe and a sense of belonging when I am at ECU. Lecturers are very engaging and approachable which helped me keep track of my studies. They are knowledgeable and passionate about the things they do. If you are an international student who is new to ECU, get yourself involved as much as you can in whatever interests you. Help is always available and there are people ready to advocate for you if you need them. Join a club or a university activity, volunteer your time and put yourself out there!

“I was fortunate to have had the chance to study my nursing course at the ECU South West Campus and the ECU Joondalup Campus – both campuses provided a comfortable, challenging and supportive learning environment.” ECU has provided everything that I need to succeed in my studies. The lecturers are all knowledgeable and approachable. My favourite part of the course is the practical workshops where we obtain hands-on skills and experience, you get a feeling of what it is going to be like after graduation. The atmosphere on campus is very laid-back and there is always space in the library or the eLab to study. The tips and tricks that I have gained through my practicums and my theory units have been invaluable in my workplace. I am currently employed as an aged care support worker and it is great to be able to pass on some of the skills I have learned from my course to other students and colleagues.

“What amazed me is the amount of practical units that my course has.” While considering my options for study, the amount of research done by the university and their facilities was a top priority. I was really impressed by ECU’s research, facilities and achievements, which led me to apply to study here. What amazed me is the amount of practical units that my course has- this really opens your mind and widens your experience, preparing you for life after university. The laboratory facilities and experiments I have been able to conduct within them have truly been amazing. Also, I got the opportunity to do work experience with lab technicians conducting important research. This experience made me realise that the practicals carried out in my lab classes were very similar to what the scientists were doing in the labs, which was immensely gratifying. Studying at ECU has been an amazing experience for me.

“The School of Education has fantastic lecturers who are so enthusiastic and encouraging.” I decided to study at ECU because it was one of the most highly recommended universities. It has such a rich history in Teacher Education in Perth and WA especially, and I thought that was a great starting point. The School of Education has fantastic lecturers who are so enthusiastic and encouraging. They understand how difficult it can be at times and are always there to push us along and give us that extra boost that we need. As an early childhood education student, I had the opportunity to undertake professional practice where I was able to teach and learn with an amazing set of students and a mentor teacher. Having that experienced teacher meant I was able to get feedback on my teaching practices and learn new ways of teaching children.

“Being a mature, international student, I’ve felt welcome from day one.” My study experience thus far has only been amazing! One of the things that impresses me the most is the fact that ECU is really committed, being involved in both your study experience as well as your personal well-being. They offer assistance in both and I definitely feel they care about every individual student. The lecturers are the best in my field of study and are engaged with students. Being a mature, international student, I’ve felt welcome from day one. My greatest achievement so far is definitely being accepted to study at WAAPA. I have worked as front-of-house staff for several student productions and volunteered at a few art events. This is an excellent way of getting in contact with organisations and individuals working in the industry. By the time I graduate, I’ll have already acquired valuable experience in the field.

ECU Spots a solution to early melanoma detection ECU researchers have made a world‑first breakthrough with a blood test able to detect early stage melanoma. Melanoma is diagnosed in more than 14,000 people in Australia each year, with more than 1,700 people – or five per day – dying from the disease. The new blood test could provide doctors with a powerful new tool to detect melanoma before it spreads throughout the body. Early testing has achieved a success rate of almost 80 per cent. The Melanoma Research Group at ECU in Western Australia is one of a growing list of world‑class research specialisations.
