The study of Psychology, Social Science and Social Work is
based around developing a clear understanding of human
behaviour. The study of Speech Pathology encompasses
the diagnosis and treatment of children and adults with
communication and swallowing disorders. At ECU, we have a
passion for finding better ways to educate and train students in
the academic disciplines and professions of Psychology, Social
Science, Social Work, and Speech Pathology. ECU is the largest
provider of Psychology, Social Science, and Community Studies
courses in Western Australia (WA) and is also one of only two
universities in WA to teach Speech Pathology.
If you are interested in how people think, feel and behave, study
Psychology at ECU. This fascinating area of study provides
students with knowledge of how humans think, function and
behave in a multitude of settings, and the various factors that
can impact on normal function. As a Psychologist, you can
play an important role in ensuring the wellbeing of individuals,
families and organisations.
ECU’s Social Science and Social Work courses have a focus on
professional practice that include non-traditional and emerging
study areas such as social justice, human rights, crime and
inclusion. Social Science and Social Work graduates will be able
to provide much needed support to the community, based on
the practical skills they acquire during the course.
Speech Pathology students at ECU gain the practical skills
to help adults and children with communication, voice, and
swallowing impairments. As a Speech Pathology student at ECU,
you have access to a state-of-the-art laboratory with the latest
audiology equipment and acoustic analysis software.
CLOSE LINKS WITH INDUSTRY
ECU has close links with the profession of Psychology and the
professions of Welfare and Community Work. Our approach
to teaching, as well as our course content, is guided by industry,
the Australian Psychological Accreditation Council, the
Australian Institute of Welfare and Community Workers Inc.,
and the Australian Association of Social Workers.
