ECU Great Careers
Apply now for 2007
 

A Fast-Track Portfolio Entry pathway has been introduced for semester 1, 2007. Those who hold or are completing a TAFE Certificate IV, Diploma or Advanced Diploma can apply directly to ECU through this method.

General university and course entry criteria will be applied. If you have any queries, please don't hesitate to contact us on (08) 6304 6304.

TAFE students and graduates who do not wish to apply to ECU in semester 1, 2007 via the Fast-Track Portfolio Entry pathway should apply through TISC.

ECU's University Preparation Course ( UPC ) prepares students for university level study by teaching the required skills for academic success. Designed for school leavers and mature age students, the UPC offers four units of study over 6 months full-time or 12 months, part-time.

This course, previously a fee-paying course turned Commonwealth supported, will now be offered in 2007 for free meaning no up-front or deferred fees.

Successful completion of the UPC enables students to meet the minimum entry requirements and allows them to apply to a degree program at ECU. For more information, click here.

From cancer screening to diagnosing HIV, blood transfusions for surgery to food poisoning and infection control, biomedical scientists are the foundation of modern medicine.

The new Bachelor of Science (Biomedical Science) at ECU offers units in health physiology, anatomy, pathophysiology, microbiology, ethics, professional skills, and practice.

Complete the course in full or use it as a stepping stone to a vast array of specialist careers in Nursing, Paramedical Science, Dentistry, Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy, Podiatry, Postgraduate Medicine and more.

Or perhaps consider studying planning at ECU and you'll graduate ready to make a difference. Our unique focus on social planning, environmental sustainability and project development will help you grow cities, towns and communities that work in harmony with the environments that surround them.

A new two year Associate Degree in Criminology and Justice (Policing) has also been introduced for 2007. Students who successfully complete the course and who meet each of the selection criteria required by Western Australia Police will be offered employment as a probationary constable.

For more information on these and other new courses being offered in 2007, click here.

Who did it? How? When? Where? And how can we be sure? These are the types of questions that forensic investigators ask.

Framed within legal contexts, these are similar to questions that legal professionals and scientists everywhere ask. Clarifying and challenging, looking for patterns and meanings, making and judging observations, examining and evaluating, summarising and reporting.

ECU's new Bachelor of Forensic Investigations aims to develop academic knowledge and practical skills in forensic investigations and is supported by key law and justice subjects.

This new course could be for you, if you're after a degree that includes a rigorous and relevant program of study containing a high level of practical skills in units that explore law, justice and science relating to forensic investigations.

Students will also gain skills that are required for entry level positions in criminology, justice and science professions.  This approach enhances student choice upon graduation and allows for specialisation in fourth year.

Moones Mazloomi graduated with a Bachelor of Engineering in Electronic Systems in 2004. She now works as a Graduate Project Controls Engineer for Sinclair Knight Merz.

"My degree has allowed me to go into a lot of different areas of engineering, and partake in various projects. There is a lot of work overseas too.

“At ECU there was a good balance between theory and practical work, so you feel more ready to go into the workforce. The first two years of Engineering was for all streams, which allowed you to get an idea of which area you might like to get into, which was very beneficial as I'm sure everyone changed their minds a dozen times before finally deciding on what major they wanted to do.

“Studying at ECU has been one of the best experiences with up to date facilities and equipment to allow students to get the most out of their time at uni.

The lecturers at ECU are professional, helpful and friendly. They make an effort in making time for you if you need help."
