About Edith Cowan University (ECU)

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

We're young and we're curious. We're constantly scanning global trends and translating this into challenging, realistic and practical courses that prepare our students for the future. 

Our curiosity also extends to world-class research that has strong social, economic, environmental, and cultural impact and makes a practical difference to people's lives. 

So, the preparation of our students includes teaching them the skills sought by industries and employers worldwide, such as creative thinking and problem-solving. We encourage positive mindsets where problems are seen as opportunities. 

High quality teaching is integral to ECU's values. It's why we've been rated 5 stars in the Good Universities Guide for 17 years straight.

And befitting the vision of our namesake, inclusion and equity are also part of our DNA; providing everyone an opportunity to access a quality education.
