Welcome Message from ECU’s Vice-Chancellor

Today the world is globally connected economically, politically and socially. Future prosperity and sustainability is dependent on this connectivity. It is important therefore that here at Edith Cowan University (ECU) we have recognised the rapid changes that have been occurring in the world in recent years and we have changed the way we perform our core work of teaching and research. In brief, we have been revising our courses to give our students the knowledge, skills and confidence they need to meet the challenges of constant change and connectivity, which is the hallmark of the 21st century.

As a university we have set ourselves the task of supporting staff, students and graduates who are highly regarded as ethical and self-reliant contributors to their communities and because of that, to the world-at-large. A core driving force for ECU is for teaching and research to be inspired by engagement and partnerships with our many communities around the world.

Like the Australian College of Business and Technology (ACBT), ECU aims to provide educational opportunities that match the needs of students and offers curricula of relevance to both local and international students.

ECU takes an active interest in ACBT’s course offerings. These courses enable eligible students to gain an alternative pathway to university with advanced standing status.

Your decision to continue to study by enrolling at ACBT is a worthy one and I wish you every success with your studies. On completion of your course at ACBT we look forward to welcoming you to ECU to complete your university studies in a program that fits well with your interests, preparation and life goals.

Professor Kerry O. Cox
