About Edith Cowan University (ECU)

ECU is one of Australia's youngest universities, named after one of Australia's most inspiring women. 

Since 1991, ECU has reshaped the way higher education is delivered.

ECU's higher education delivery approach has been rewarded with five-star ratings for undergraduate teaching quality for the past 18 consecutive years, with top ratings for overall experience, learning resources, skills development, and student support, in the Good Universities Guide, Australia's largest course comparison website.

Our courses are developed in consultation with industry and our teaching staff bring extensive knowledge and networks to engage and inspire students. Work integrated learning placements, fieldwork, practicums, and networking events are just a few of the opportunities students can expect as part of their ECU journey.
