At ECU, we teach and graduate global citizens who understand their role in the international community and encourage them to think creatively to global challenges. They achieved a high-level of cultural competency and they know how to apply it.
We work with partners who mirror this ambition to meet their internationalisation goals.
One of the ways we do this is through our Tailored Study Abroad programs, which welcome cohorts of international students to ECU to study English language and academic classes. This is supported through our award-winning Experiencing Australia Program (EAP): a social and cultural engagement component that creates an environment of inclusivity for visiting students.
The EAP is enabled by ECU student volunteers called buddies. Together, students and buddies attend activities on and off campus, exploring the ECU community and iconic Perth locations.
This creates important peer networks that often extend well beyond the Study Abroad course.
We have ongoing opportunities for students to get involved. If a student is interested in becoming a buddy ambassador for one of our Tailored Study Abroad programs, students can register their interest or contact inboundstudyabroad@ecu.edu.au for more information.
ECU has considerable experience developing these dynamic programs to match partner goals. Programs range from three weeks to one semester, with cohorts of 15 students to upwards of 100.
