Edith Cowan University (ECU) has developed innovative and practical courses across a extensive range of disciplines, established a vibrant research culture and attracted a growing range of quality research partners and researchers, many working at the cutting edge of their fields.
ECU has more than 27,000 students at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Around 4,000 of these are international students originating from more than 70 countries. Around 400 courses are offered through four faculties:
• Business and Law
• Computing, Health and Science
• Education and Arts, including the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts
• Regional Professional Studies, which are based at ECU South West
ECU works with the public and private sector organizations, locally and overseas, in designing of its study programs.The University has two metropolitan campuses in Mount Lawley and Joondalup and also serves Western Australia’s South West region from a campus in Bunbury, it is around 200 km south of Perth. Perth Graduate School of Business at the Mount Lawley Campus provides students with state of the art, convenient facilities to allow them to carry on further studies.
ECU is committed to breaking down barriers to education and is considered a pioneer in the development of alternative entry pathways to higher education; assisting Western Australians reach their potential. Lots of these alternative pathways help to provide much required, skilled teaching and nursing graduates for Australian schools and hospitals.
Engagement with the community is one of the University’s strategic priorities, and necessary effort is invested in ensuring productive and mutually beneficial partnerships are created with a variety of groups. For instance, the StepUp! Peer tutoring program provides schools with high achieving ECU students to mentor high school students and assist teachers in science subjects. This free initiative has helped more than 400 high school students since 1997.
An emphasis on conducting research with industry partners in areas such as micro-electronics engineering, e-commerce, ecosystem management, police studies, security, education, palliative care, social justice and human services has seen ECU develop a lively applied research culture. It’s Edith Cowan University Health and Wellness Institute, for instance, brings scientists from different disciplines to create a comprehensive centre for preventative health research.
