I chose ECU because of the excellent reputation it enjoyed in the field of Cyber Security
Having decided to study Cyber Security, I chose ECU because of the excellent reputation it has in this field. My study experience here has been great and has presented me with a number of opportunities to build my career. The lecturers at ECU are very helpful and supportive and they helped us gain the skills to make a successful transition from study to the workplace.

The lecturers at ECU are lifelong professionals who have extensive experience in the subjects they are teaching
During my study I've found that the lecturers at ECU are lifelong professionals who have extensive experience in the subjects they are teaching, rather than just an academic background. This makes the lectures very interesting, as we get to learn about real world issues and solutions. There are many opportunities for developing important contacts within the industry. Representing the university at two major industry conferences allowed me to develop critical networks in Federal and State law enforcement, and private industry.
Things you should know about if you're thinking about studying here.
There's more than one admission pathway into an ECU course. It depends on what you've studied already, or your work or life experience.
Course tuition fees can change, but we can give you an estimate of your costs. If you're eligible, a scholarship or student loan can help too.
Applying for a course is a fairly simple process, especially if you have scanned copies of qualifications, your resume or other paperwork, ready to upload.
Starting a course is an exciting and sometimes daunting time, so we make a massive effort to ensure you get all the support you need to have a positive experience.
