Edith Cowan University

ECU's focus on teaching and research is inspired by engagement and partnerships with those in the many communities they were established to serve.

Research at ECU extends knowledge and improves the quality of life for Australians and people across the globe. Their research priorities focus on solving real world problems across social, economic, physical and environmental domains.

Established in 1991, ECU has grown rapidly into a quality university with excellent student satisfaction and internationally recognised research.

Students and graduates at ECU are amongst the best in the world, with many fulfilling crucial roles in society. Their outstanding achievements have been recognised throughout Australia and internationally through awards, grants, scholarships and prizes.

ECU is committed to widening participation and breaking down barriers that restrict entry to education, and they are continuing our work on the enhancement and development of alternative entry pathways to higher education.

They are a university that values diversity and this is exemplified by their multicultural student cohort spanning a wide range of ages. They also support gender equality and ECU is advancing this commitment through their membership of the Athena SWAN Charter in Australia.
