Learning at ECU has been fun and exciting.
I’ve always been fascinated by the subject of
Security and these days, it’s becoming more
and more important in our society. That’s why
I chose to study Counter Terrorism, Security
and Intelligence at ECU.

you enrol as a full-time student you could be eligible to receive
a free Netbook computer to use in your first year of study and,
if you continue with your degree, it will be yours to keep for free
(conditions apply).
ECU”s seCAU SECURITY RESEARCH CENTRE
ECU’s seCAU Security and Research Centre is recognised as an
Australian Computer Society (ACS) Centre of Expertise (COE),
allowing students in the broad security discipline to participate
in cross-disciplinary research projects within various ECU
study areas, including Engineering, Information and Computer
Science, Psychology, and Law and Justice. This collaboration
increases the likelihood of discovering and tackling the key
security questions that lie ahead, and encourages students
to take a broader, more open-minded perspective to
security issues.
WORLD-CLASS LABS
Our Computer and Security Science labs have the latest
equipment and facilities for the conduct of traditional Computer
Science and Information Technology degrees. Several specialist
labs can also be found for Networking, Games programming and
Simulation, Computer Security and Digital Forensics.
USING GAMING TECHNOLOGY TO MAKE A
DIFFERENCE
ECU staff and researchers have adopted gaming technology and
applied it to real life situations in the hope that it can assist with
future issues. By modelling small cities and the infrastructure
within, ECU representatives are able to create an interactive
environment that allows authorities to assess potential problems
and their response methods in those situations.
SECURE YOUR FUTURE WITH AN ECU
