About

History

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

Education

Students and graduates at ECU are amongst the best in the world, with many fulfilling crucial roles in our society. Their outstanding achievements have been recognised throughout Australia and internationally through awards, grants, scholarships and prizes. 

Research

  • Edith Cowan University is building its reputation on impact rather than age. 
  • The research work focuses on four themes that recognise both our collective expertise and our progressive view of the world. 

Career

  • ECU Careers and Employability team works closely with schools and employers to optimise employment outcomes. You may be seeking an intern or cadet, an undergraduate or postgraduate worker, a volunteer or you may want to raise the profile of your organisation.
  • Mentoring is the provision of support and guidance to students from more experienced individuals. Mentoring programs are popular and highly valued in the business world, and mentoring experience is often well-regarded by employers.
