As the modern descendant of the first higher education institution in Western Australia, ECU upholds a well deserved reputation for teaching excellence that dates back to the beginning of the twentieth century. The University has developed strong links with industry, government and research institutions in Australia and overseas. These links help the University to design and develop relevant courses and appropriate research projects.

The University is a market leader in education for the service professions and prides itself on producing graduates who can hit the ground running in today’s globalised workplace. ECU has long had an emphasis on engaging with and serving its communities.
