Established in 1991 in Western Australia, Edith Cowan University (ECU) offers an optimal learning environment for those aspiring to reach their potential. With nearly 30,000 undergraduate and postgraduate students, ECU annually welcomes over 6,000 international students from more than 100 countries. ECU comprises eight schools, delivering a diverse range of courses in medical and health sciences, engineering, education, arts and humanities, business and law, nursing and midwifery, science, and the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts. Courses are available on three campuses: Joondalup and Mount Lawley in metropolitan Perth, and the Southwest Campus in Bunbury, 200km south of the capital city. ECU also provides a comprehensive suite of online study options and has expanded internationally with an offshore campus in Colombo, Sri Lanka, and programs in China, the United Arab Emirates, Vietnam, and Singapore. ECU’s courses are developed in consultation with industry, and the teaching staff bring extensive industry experience and networks to the table. This ensures that ECU students can anticipate opportunities for work-integrated learning placements, fieldwork, practicums, and networking events as integral parts of their studies. In the realm of research, ECU strives to make a meaningful impact on the community in Western Australia and beyond. The university focuses on collaborative efforts with communities, businesses, and government organizations to address real-world problems. Named after Edith Dircksey Cowan, OBE (1861-1932), the first woman elected to an Australian Parliament, the university draws inspiration from her dedication to the belief that education is the key to societal growth, change, and improvement. ECU prides itself on developing capable graduates who lead engaged and productive lives in their communities. Edith Cowan’s image even graces the Australian $50 note in recognition of her significant contributions.
