STUDY ABROAD
PROGRAM
A Study Abroad program is the perfect way
to expand your global citizenship: you get to
live, work and study in a different country for
up to a year, immersing yourself in the culture
and ending the program with a deeper
understanding of how you can contribute
to the world.
At ECU, we know this is an integral part of our
Study Abroad students’ academic and personal
journey, so we invest in the experience.
From the time you enquire to the time you
enrol, you have expert staff to guide you.
We help you select your units, submit an
application, accept your place and explore
what ECU has to offer so you can make
good use of your time abroad.
This is the key really: how can we help you
create an unforgettable study experience in
Australia? We love to hear from future Study
Abroad students. Please reach out today

3 REASONS
TO CHOOSE
STUDY ABROAD
AT ECU -
There are so many reasons to choose ECU.
If we had to highlight three, it would come down to the fact that you’ll have access to extremely
competitive fees, live in one of the most stunning locations in the country, and be enrolled with
Australia's top public university for teaching quality.
1. AMAZING Tuition Fees
Our 2021 Study Abroad fees are some of the most competitive in Australia. Your fees will depend on the number
of credit points you study and units you select. We have two special fee groups for 2021.
Group A Group B
Includes 100s of units from disciplines in Includes a special selection of units in the
Arts, Business, Computing, Design, disciplines of Engineering, Paramedicine
Education, Law, Mathematics, Nursing, and Science:
Science and Social Science: о 45 credit points (3 units): $7,500 AUD
о 45 credit points (3 units): $5,025 AUD о 60 credit points (4 units): $10,000 AUD
о 60 credit points (4 units): $6,700 AUD
Use our Fees Calculator to review unit costs apps.ecu.edu.au/fees-calculator/. All you need to do is add your year of study,
your citizenship or visa status, then Study Abroad. This will allow you to search by unit code or name to find the tuition fee.
2. Experiencing Australia Program
We invite our Study Abroad students to volunteer in our
Experiencing Australia program (EAP). The EAP is part of
a program that welcomes international groups to study
at ECU for a semester. Our volunteers join the EAP to help
these groups explore ECU and Perth!
By volunteering in this program, you would have the
chance to create long-lasting friendships and see iconic
Perth places, with all expenses covered by ECU. We head
out to off-campus locations like Caversham Wildlife
Park, Cottesloe Beach, Fremantle and Kings Park. Our
on‑campus events include festivals, movie nights and ECU
Open Days. Better still, students often plan trips together
outside the EAP to explore WA’s iconic sites, from our
beaches and national parks to our wineries.
Buddies recruiting fellow ECU students into the Experiencing Australia Volunteers who meet requirements also receive a formal
Program, seen here at the Mount Lawley Campus Living Village acknowledgement via a certificate of participation.

3. Teaching Quality
ECU was established in 1991 and has a strong reputation in Australia for its quality of teaching and the overall student
experience. Here is a snapshot of recent university rankings, both nationally and internationally. It includes ratings from
recent graduate surveys and other international quality measures.
Amongst the Best One of the world’s best
ECU has been named in the top 500 in the young universities

years running through the government’s for 14 years in a row, making ECU the only
independent QILT (Quality Indicators in public university in Australia to have achieved
Learning and Teaching) survey. such a consistently high endorsement.
Besides the fact that the whole region of Joondalup and Perth is just amazing, I would
say ECU is a very well-developed studying environment.
Facilities like the Student Hub helped me a lot in the beginning. Really well organised
and helpful. The campus is great too. Super modern with environments, like its lake,
that invite you to stay, which is really helpful for studying.
COVID-19 did change the way of working, studying and life in general. The way ECU
changed its whole lecturing system was outstanding: developing online classes within
a super short period. My semester in Australia was not what I expected, but I am glad
I made the choice to study at ECU.

TWO MINUTES WITH
OUR ACADEMICS -
ECU has hundreds of units (Aussie lingo for “subjects”
or “courses”) to choose from as part of your Study
Abroad semester. This includes all of our schools.
We often get asked, "What are some of the popular units I can take?"
It’s a great question. We’ve sat down with some of our academics to chat about ten
exciting units across our schools. Read through and see if any match your study direction.

work from the beginning of the unit
through to the end.
Studying at the Schools of Business and Law, and Arts and Humanities was great.
The facilities at the Mount Lawley and Joondalup campuses were new and modern.
And most of my tutors had worked in the communications and marketing industry,
which made the units interesting, relevant and inspiring.
Some people may choose not to study abroad because of the cost. However, ECU is less
expensive than many other Australian universities and you get so much value for your
money. Additionally, Perth is a lovely city and has much lower living costs compared to
other Australian cities.
Moving far away from home without knowing anyone may seem scary and challenging, but
ECU has many international students. You will meet people who are in the same position as
you and Australians are very open and relaxed, so I felt welcome at ECU and in Perth.

It was great having contact with people from all over the world and to
understand different ways of learning. And the teachers never forgot to keep
in touch, always giving us an answer. I was an overseas student, but I didn’t
feel alone. During COVID-19, I believe the effort from everybody at ECU was
honest and truthful. Moving online was a challenge, but I got excellent results,
