Undergraduate international course guide - Edith Cowan University

“I worked with the WA Police to
create software that will have real
community benefits.”
I was really impressed with the number of computing
labs and the 24/7 accessibility at ECU. Not only did
they provide me with all the resources I needed to
succeed at university, the atmosphere allowed me to
make great friends and enjoy my study.
