Edith Cowan University, in my opinion, is unethical, unprofessional and inadequate in their role to facilitate student learning. I’ve had very poor experiences with several of the teaching and non-teaching staff members. One of which was not only unprofessional and unethical, but was also unlawful in her conduct with me personally. Staff members were unhelpful when I tried to raise awareness of the inadequacies of a lecturer who refused to engage in communication about assignments with me. Several emails and attempts to commicate with her went unanswered by the lecturer, the head of the department, the complaints department and the integrity department. If I could give anything less than one star, I would. I do not recommend this university and instead, would suggest going to a university with more integrity.

ECU is very popular as it has flexible courses to suit most peoples needs. One thing that is always a challenge every semester is getting on the courses as everyone will apply at the same time. Thats the important thing to understand when you commit to paying your tuition feeds, get a place as soon as you can.

Teaching staff are some of the most advanced in their field and reflect that in their eagerness to teach. Seems like the teaching staff wish to share with everyone their wisdom and experience as they know you will be joining their field and want to expand your capabilities in life. Campus life is far superior to high school and the Joondalup campus is very accommodating. I have had a great experience here and would recommend it to anyone who is considering application.
