EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION
Edith Cowan College (formerly known as PIBT) is the leading pathway option into Edith Cowan University (ECU) and provides high quality courses in an environment which encourages students to achieve excellence in their studies. Edith Cowan College (ECC) is located on both the Mt Lawley and Joondalup campuses of ECU in Perth, Western Australia and offers pre-university (foundation) and university (Diploma) pathway courses in Business, Hotel Management, Communications and Creative Industries, Computing and Information Technology, Engineering Studies and Health Studies (including Nursing). Following successful completion of the diploma program students are eligible for entry into the second year of the respective bachelor degree at ECU. A trimester system allows students to fast-track their studies and complete most courses in eight months. ECC’s flexible entry requirements make it an accessible option for students. ECC’s supportive learning environment ensures students are well prepared to enter university with confidence. ECC also offers the Post-Graduate Qualifying Program (PQP) which is a non-award program designed to lead students into ECU’s masters degrees. The program is designed for students who already have tertiary qualifications but have not qualified for direct entry into university masters degrees in the Faculty of Business and Law.
