About Edith Cowan University
Edith Cowan University (ECU) 
Edith Cowan University (ECU) is a large multi-campus institution serving communities in Western Australia and a significant cohort of international students.
ECU has more than 21,000 students at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Approximately 4,000 of these are international onshore and offshore students originating from around 91 countries.
More than 400 courses are offered through four faculties:
Business and Law
Computing, Health and Science
Education and Arts, which includes the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA)
Regional Professional Studies in the south-west of Western Australia.
ECU works closely with private and public sector organisations, locally and overseas, in designing its study programs. Research is undertaken in collaboration with industry, particularly in the service industries and professions.
The University has two metropolitan campuses, located in Mount Lawley and Joondalup, and also serves Western Australia’s South West region from a campus in Bunbury, 200 km south of Perth.
Awarded university status in 1991, ECU has developed innovative and practical courses across a wide range of disciplines, established a vibrant research culture and attracted a growing range of quality research partners and researchers, many working at the cutting edge of their fields.
