Reasons to study at ECC

ECC offers a broad range of programs, including Diploma courses, Postgraduate Qualifying Programs, Foundation Program and the Academic English Program.

The Diploma (Year 2) programs are quality assured by ECU, so you can be confident that your program is of the highest quality. Students who successfully complete Diploma (Year 2) are eligible for direct entry into the second year of the respective bachelor’s degree at ECU.

ECC is registered by the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA) which is Australia’s regulatory and quality agency for higher education. ECC’s listing on the National Register confirms its compliance with the Higher Education Standards Framework (HESF).

Due to our nurturing environment with a student counsellor to offer support, ECC can accept students who are under 18 years old.

Lecture groups have a maximum of 50 students, although most classes average between 25 and 35 students. Lectures are complemented by group tutorials and workshops, ensuring you receive a high level of attention from your lecturers.

ECC provides more face-to-face contact and more individual support to students than the typical university model. Students are given easy-to-follow instructions for online activities that help them prepare for their class each week. Classes provide opportunities for the teacher to clarify the key concepts and for students to study together through collaborative learning tasks.

ECC is located on the Joondalup Campus West of Edith Cowan University. The campus is 15 minutes walk from the Joondalup train station. A free bus service is also available to take you directly to the campus. ECC’s Diploma programs are taught on Joondalup Campus West. While studying at ECC, students have access to eLab, library, social clubs and the sports centre on any of the ECU campuses.

For international students who will study at ECC, you can apply for a single visa to cover the duration of your studies. Under this visa you can package your ECC program, your degree at ECU and your English language program (if required).
