2020 Undergraduate Course Guide-Edith Cowan University 3 Who was Edith Cowan? Born in 1861 in Glengarry, near Geraldton, Edith Dircksey Cowan believed education was the key to growth, change and improvement. Edith’s contribution to the development of Western Australian education was significant. She strove to achieve social justice and campaigned for the rights of women, children and families, for the poor, the poorly‑educated and the elderly. So it’s fitting that the State’s oldest education institution and newest public university, Edith Cowan University, bears her name.

“Being able to work on The Innocence Project drew me to ECU.” ECU’s Psychology and Criminology course offered units no other universities offered, including The Innocence Project. This hands‑on project allows us to investigate real cases of alleged wrongful conviction. It has been extremely beneficial to work on this in teams and use practical skills. The facilities are excellent and being able to study online is very helpful and convenient. This allowed me to continue my course when I moved interstate temporarily. The lecturers I had were fantastic; all friendly, approachable and experts in their fields. The entire study experience at ECU has been rewarding, enjoyable and has helped me to grow as a person.

“Since graduating from ECU, I’ve been able to secure a graduate position at one of the largest law firms in Australia, MinterEllison.” The focus of the Law degree at ECU is very practical. Some of my lecturers had held jobs in Parliament, Australian Securities and Investments Commission, and the Administrative Appeals Tribunal, and were able to bring a very practical mind‑set to the units they taught, something I think is very important for those wishing to practice after they complete their degrees. My studies at ECU provided me with the essential framework to begin working in, and applying for corporate legal positions. Whilst studying law at ECU, I was lucky enough to travel to Canberra for the Australian Law Student Association Conference as a delegate. At the conference, top students from all Law Schools in Australasia come to learn about issues facing law, learn new skills, and compete. I competed in the Witness Examination competition, this taught me a lot in regards to Court etiquette, legal procedure, and dealing with clients. It was also an excellent opportunity to network with students from all over Australia, New Zealand, and Asia.

“If you want a well‑rounded and practical experience, definitely study Engineering at ECU.” My advice to students would be to study to get a job, not to get a degree. Maximise your opportunities to get experience that will get you a career. So for me, that was participating in Engineering societies, going overseas, joining the Vice‑Chancellor’s forum and so forth. All of these gave me interpersonal skills and international experience. I was also named the WA Young Professional Engineer of the Year 2018 at the Engineers Australia WA Engineering Excellence Awards. If you want a well‑rounded and practical experience, definitely study Engineering at ECU.

“I am so grateful I was able to do a practicum placement as it was significant to my success and it led to paid employment.” I chose Nutrition and Health Promotion as I was interested in the idea of helping people become aware of how easy healthy eating could be and empowering vulnerable populations to make healthier choices. The lecturers were engaging, knowledgeable and most importantly approachable, and I felt comfortable asking for help when I needed it. The highlight of my degree was the practicum placement I undertook. I was able to use my knowledge in a practical setting and it kick‑started my career, which led to a number of amazing opportunities. I am so grateful I was able to do a practicum placement as it was significant to my success and it led to paid employment. Following on from this, I landed my dream job at Foodbank WA. This wouldn’t have been possible without help from my lecturers and the practicum placements that ECU offers.

“I chose ECU because it was the only university in WA to offer a dual degree in Nursing and Midwifery.” I conducted most of my learning online and I never felt out of touch or disconnected. All my learning resources were easy to access, and I knew that my lecturers and tutors were just an email away. When I did attend campus, the facilities were great, clean and plenty of places to eat! The flexibility in the course allowed me to manage the workload that the midwifery aspect required of me, as well as allowing me to work at the same time. We also completed mandatory practicums every semester and I believe that these experiences provided me with the skills and confidence I needed to be accepted into the midwifery graduate program at my local hospital, which led to a permanent position.

“I’ve always had an interest in the environment and chose ECU because it offers hands‑on, job ready degrees.” I’ve learnt so much from being out in the field and putting lecture content into practice. I’ve been lucky enough to get the opportunity to go on a two week study tour in the Gascoyne region of WA. I have also been involved in a number of volunteering opportunities with fisheries and parks and wildlife and these have been valuable learning experiences. I found the lecturers really passionate and knowledgeable about their study area. As part of our third year of study, we had field trips with government departments such as the Department of Parks and Wildlife. This experience is very useful when applying for jobs.

“ECU was a great place to study and I felt really confident and ready to go out into the workforce.” I was working as an admin officer at The Association of Independent Schools and had worked closely with lots of passionate educators over the years. Seeing the impact that they have on young children’s lives inspired me to become a teacher myself. I chose to study at ECU because of the reputation the School of Education has in the education community. The lecturers are well known for their research and contribution to early childhood education, both in WA and nationally. The flexibility of part‑time and online study was invaluable to me as I was working full‑time whilst I studied. ECU has a really authentic mix between theory and practice. I hadn’t really been around children very much and to think that I was able to walk into a classroom and just feel so at home and natural with them really made me realise how much I’d learnt. ECU was a great place to study and I felt really confident and ready to go out into the workforce.

“The Arts Management degree gave me the skills and contacts required to form a fantastic career in the arts industry.” In my role as Head of Media and Client Relations at AKA, my team and I formulate the strategy for and execute large and small scale end‑to‑end marketing campaigns for commercial theatre, not‑for‑profit theatre companies, galleries and museums, major events and a diverse range of other arts and entertainment forms. Having had exposure to all of these, WAAPA set me up to be confident in the industry, no matter what I have ended up working on. The networking opportunities with graduates who are leaders in their field and the intensive secondment program put me in both large and small organisations and allowed me to meet people who are now my close colleagues. Since leaving WAAPA I have worked alongside many Arts Management graduates who are now the top marketers, producers, development professionals and managers of all areas in the arts industry and we always have a strong bond.
