Business

Our Business courses focus on the skills employers value.

Bachelor of Business students gain skills in oral and written communication, entrepreneurship, leadership, problem solving and critical thinking as part of the Business Edge program. Classes create a realistic workplace environment where students can work with industry to develop practical workplace skills.

Countless career opportunities

Business courses aren't just for corporate high-flyers. A business degree can lead to careers in not-for-profit or public sectors and industries as diverse as mining, tourism, fashion or agriculture.

No matter what they do, most organisations need an accountant, a manager or a marketing professional. Plus many business graduates put their skills to use as specialist consultants or in operating their own small-business.

Award winning graduates

Each year ECU sees many of its business graduates acknowledged in the WA Business News 40 Under 40 Awards.

In 2007 Geoffrey Mather, Chief Financial Officer at RAC Group, took out one of these prestigious places. The award recognised the outstanding achievements of a West Australian business person who has had an impressive career - and all before the age of forty.
