Undergraduate international course guide - Edith Cowan University

“The learning environment at Ecu is
positive and supportive.”
ECU is a great university for international students
like me, as it is such a positive and friendly place. This
vibe has really made it easy to settle into uni life. It’s
also a university that focuses on balancing theory
with practical experience, which I’ve really benefited
from. In my last year, I took up the opportunity to
participate in the Tourism study tour to Borneo.
The experience was life-changing, and over the 10
days I got a real sense of what tourism is about.
