Located in Western Australia, ECU offers industry-relevant teaching and research, supportive study environmen­t, and awardwinni­ng facilities, which enable students to thrive.

Establishe­d in 1991, ECU has taken the opportunit­y to reshape the way higher education is delivered in a distinctiv­e and inspiring campus environmen­t.

ECU courses are developed in consultati­on with industry, and teaching staff have extensive industry experience and networks.

ECU students can expect placement opportunit­ies, fieldwork, practicums, and networking events as part of their studies.

This approach has been rewarded with five- star ratings for teaching quality over the past 11 years, along with consistent­ly high ratings for overall education experience and skills developmen­t, as reported in the Good Universiti­es Guide.

The Australian Government’s Quality Indicators for Learning and Teaching (QILT) website helps prospectiv­e students compare universiti­es around Australia.

In 2017, ECU received the top student satisfacti­on rating of all public universiti­es in Australia.

Over 86 per cent of those surveyed, rated their student experience positively.

Every year, university graduates around Australia are surveyed about their university experience, including factors impacting the quality of their university experience and some post-university outcomes.

The resulting scores are translated into university star ratings and these are published in the Good Universiti­es Guide.

For the 11th year in a row, ECU graduates have again given the university a 5- star rating for teaching quality.

A 5- star rating has also been awarded this year for the median salary of ECU graduates, based on the starting salary for new domestic graduates under age 25, and in their fi rst full-time job.

ECU has been ranked in the world’s top 100 for Sports Science in the 2018 QS World University Rankings by Subject, and also achieved a top 250 ranking for Education and a top 300 ranking for Psychology.

ECU has also been listed in the QS Top 150 under 50 rankings for 2018, which cover the world’s 150 leading institutio­ns founded after 1967.
