2019 International Course Guide Undergraduate & Postgraduate ECU ranked Australia’s top public university for student experience. Two years in a row.
For the second year running, ECU has been ranked Australia’s top public university for student experience in the QILT (Quality Indicators for Learning and Teaching) survey.
Using the results of thousands of surveys completed by recent students and graduates, QILT is designed to help prospective students compare Australian higher education institutions and the courses they provide.
In the May 2018 release of survey results, ECU received the top student satisfaction rating of all public universities, with 85.3% of students rating their overall educational experience positively, well above the national average.
Students also ranked ECU the top public university in Australia for teaching quality, skills development and student support.
And to round things off, ECU was rated the top WA public university by graduates for overall satisfaction, teaching and generic skills.
To once again receive such recognition makes us very proud indeed.

“I chose Perth as my study abroad destination because I wanted to study close to the beach, and I’m so glad I did; the weather was fantastic and the beach lifestyle was so refreshing!” My experience at ECU has been a good one because the staff are friendly and the students are very welcoming. I picked nursing subjects because I knew that I’d be able to go on prac and get real world experience. I found it challenging at first to adapt to a new environment but, after settling in, I fitted right in. I would definitely encourage other students to study abroad for a semester or two because it will enrich your life and you’ll make friends for life.

“I constantly found myself looking at signs and symbols and thinking, ‘Oh, this could be designed better.’ Or ‘What if we did this?” I was always a visual artist and I just wanted to figure out a way to get a consistent income working in that field. Through the units in my degree, especially the Fremantle based unit, the Happiness Project, I realised it wasn’t just about graphic design. For me it’s about design communication, designing systems and figuring out how to help people – asking why are we doing this? Who does it affect? How is it helpful? Thinking with empathy. I’d always wanted to help people, but I never thought as a creative that I would find a way to both earn an income and do that.

“There is definitely a culture of helping everyone, which makes my studies easier.” I gained direct entry into the MBAI at ECU using my undergraduate degree, which I completed in Kenya. ECU has a welcoming environment that has students from a mix of cultures and countries that understand each other. I completed a six-month paid internship, which allowed me to work autonomously. This helped improve my leadership and organisational skills, and gave me a greater sense of confidence. The best thing about working on placement is that you are not expected to know everything. You still have the protection of being a student, which mentally helps you get through the steep learning curve of a new job. The skills and experience I obtained through my internship were priceless and will assist me in securing a job when I finish my degree.

“I was particularly impressed by ECU due to its international rankings as well as great facilities.” While researching various Australian universities for my engineering studies, I was particularly impressed by ECU due to its international rankings as well as great facilities. This led me to apply to ECU for my engineering degree, and I’m really glad I did. The 24/7 access to the e-labs greatly helped with my study. I have also found the recorded lectures to be highly beneficial. The lecturers are very approachable and appreciate class participation. Also ECU has a great atmosphere as well as various informative, networking and fun events around campus which provide opportunities to meet new people and make important professional contacts. As part of my study I undertook an internship in a construction firm working under a senior engineer which helped me gain an understanding of real world engineering situations, problems and solutions.

“Having the opportunity to undertake practicum placements from the first-year has given me a real insight into working in the real world.” I chose ECU not only because it offered a great Speech Pathology course, but also because it has high student satisfaction ratings and a high student employment rate after graduation. Throughout my journey so far as an ECU student, all of my lecturers and tutors have been very approachable and willing to clarify lecture notes and study materials whenever I had questions. I was also very grateful for the mentor program available for first year students, which gave me many helpful tips to excel in my studies. A unique part of my course is that we have practicum starting from the first year, which has given me a real insight into working in the real world. Receiving a Silver Scholarship from ECU has also been such a blessing, as not only it has reduced my financial burden of studying in a foreign country, but it has encouraged me to work harder and continue to excel academically.

“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. ECU offers a wide range of online resources, which have been invaluable to me and hugely beneficial during assignment and exam time. 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. I love living near the ocean and never being too far away from doing something exciting. The South West is on the doorstep for weekend getaways and there is always plenty of things happening in Joondalup and in Perth.

“The support I’ve received from lecturers is invaluable.” ECU provides quality education and has all the required infrastructure at a lower fee compared to other universities. This greatly reduces the financial burden on the students as they don’t need to invest in much additional study material or equipment, as these are already at their disposal on campus. The support I’ve received from lecturers is invaluable – they are so knowledgeable, and are always there to listen and help out.

“Every unit from my degree has been helpful and I have been able to put the skills I have learnt into practice in the classroom.” I was a bit nervous about going out on practicum placement at first, but I have definitely learnt so much out in a real classroom. I have found my experience at ECU to be extremely rewarding and informative.

“I chose WAAPA as it is the leading performing arts institution in Australia and boasts one of the highest number of performances every year.” My experience here has been really great so far. My lecturers are incredibly dedicated and are willing to go the extra mile to help us understand what is being taught in class. They really make the effort to tailor their classes to the cohort’s specific needs and to cater to students of all different levels so that we are all on the same page. In my course, we constantly have people from the industry coming to speak with us and conduct workshops. I've always loved these sessions as they have been so valuable in giving me a glimpse into the industry and the challenges I might face as an artiste. More importantly, through these exchanges, I get to listen and learn from the mistakes these people have made, which will help me with the challenges I am likely to face in the course of my career.

“As a new PhD student, I found it challenging in the beginning of the course; however, my supervisors have been patient and encouraging and that has been a big help.” I chose to study at ECU because of its reputation in Vietnam, and the Mount Lawley Campus being so close to the city. I enrolled in an English as Additional Language (EAL) program, which was free of charge to international students, and also participated in useful workshops and events to improve my research skills. My supervisors have a strong academic history and are knowledgeable, experienced and friendly. They have taught me the knowledge and skills, which I can also use in my field outside of my studies at ECU.
