Who was Edith Cowan? ECU 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.

WORLD-Ready Graduates
“The internship I completed in my final semester was the perfect stepping stone to advance my career.”
I chose to study International Hotel and Resort Management at ECU because I had heard of the practical nature of the course. My lecturers were very experienced in the hospitality and tourism industry and provided real-life examples and case studies to link theory with current industry practice. I was lucky enough to take part in the Borneo study tour, and no words can describe how amazing that experience was. In my final semester at ECU, I was able to secure an internship placement. That experience was great, as it allowed me to put what I had learnt into practice, at the same time as learning plenty of new skills from my supervisors and colleagues. Since graduating, I have been lucky enough to be accepted in to the graduate program at Accor hotels, where I will be relocating to Broome. This is truly my greatest achievement so far, and I am excited for the new challenges ahead of me.

“I knew that I was enrolling into a recognised degree.”
I chose ECU because they have a renowned sports science degree and offer many pathways to Exercise & Sports Science Australia (ESSA) accreditation. Knowing this degree is fully-accredited with ESSA, I knew that I was enrolling into a recognised degree and this would potentially have a lot of prospects in future in terms of employment opportunities or further study. The teaching and support staff at ECU are knowledgeable and resourceful in their fields. I got the opportunity to work with a lot of lecturers who have strong research foundations. The facilities and equipment offered at ECU are extensive and up-to-date.

“The flexibility, support and friendly vibe at ECU made for a remarkable experience.”
ECU was my first choice for studying nursing because of the flexibility the university provides – I wanted to study somewhere that I could manage my family, work and home commitments, alongside my study commitments. My experience at ECU was remarkable, the staff always strive to provide the best education and support to students. There is a really friendly vibe among all of the students, and the cultural diversity gives you an opportunity to understand people from a wide range of nationalities.

“The government placement that I participated in enabled me to practice my technical skills within a professional setting.”
During high school while researching courses and universities in my area of interest (Computer Science), I came to realise that ECU offers a great combination of theoretical and applied coursework and had a really good reputation when it came to their collaboration with industry. This led me to enrol for this course. During my final year of study I undertook the WIL (Work Integrated Learning) program and was able to participate in a government placement, an experience that completed my studies perfectly and was the perfect introduction to the industry. It developed my professional persona, introduced me to important connections within the industry and enabled me to practice my technical skills within a professional setting.

“I’ve been able to apply all the skills and knowledge gained from my PhD into my current role as a Senior Planning Engineer.”
I’ve always had a strong interest in providing solutions to current problems of power industries, renewable energy, and the global energy crisis. I chose to study my PhD at ECU in order to contribute to my chosen field of Electrical Power Engineering and to develop relevant skills. This has allowed me to combine the knowledge of both academia and industry to propose innovative solutions. I have recently joined as a Senior Planning Engineer in Western Power, where I have opportunities to apply all relevant skills and knowledge gained from my PhD course. I’m taking part in network planning and overall grid transformation of Western Power’s network. ECU has supported me by providing a research-friendly environment, collaboration with industry, and encouragement towards solving global, as well as current industry problems of Australia.
