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
- We invite you to be part of the next generation of outstanding teachers and make a real difference to young peoples’ lives.
- Take the first step and explore our wide selection of up-to-date and progressive courses, including early childhood, primary and secondary teacher education. Our courses are practical, based on cutting edge research and responsive to the learning needs of young people and the community.
- Our passionate and experienced team, who strive to always find better ways to educate and train our teachers, will support you through your exciting and challenging journey. So, if you aspire to teach, or are already qualified and want to extend your professional learning, join us to make a difference.
Research
- At Edith Cowan University, we’re building our reputation on our impact rather than our age. Our progressive nature drives our thirst for knowledge and desire for creating meaningful change in the world.
- Our research work focuses on four themes that recognise both our collective expertise and our progressive view of the world.
- Our world-class research transcends medical practice, driving health outcomes and quality of life. It leverages our unique geographical location, tying the natural environment to the built. It's also at the forefront of shaping our digital future, addressing the challenges of the digital revolution.
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.
- It's never too early to start thinking about your career! We encourage you to begin planning your career journey at the same time as you begin your journey with ECU. Our wide range of services can help you develop the skills you need to find employment and work experience while studying and can also assist you in planning your transition from university to working life.
