Emerging Perth designer wins top industry award

Fashion graduate Danielle Marklew has received the inaugural STYLEAID Brand New Designer Award for the development of her new label STASERA. The name of her label, which translates to “tonight” in Italian, is inspired by her desire to create a line of night‑time wear that is accessible with a quirky and individual edge. Danielle, who was also the national finalist of the 2012 Apex Teenage Fashion Awards, was selected from a high profile line up of local Perth designers for her promising and business‑savvy approach to fashion design. This significant industry nod will set Danielle up to develop her label under the mentorship of top local designers and stylists as well as receive guidance from marketing and production experts for the launch of her 2017 collection.

ECU Psychological Services Centre

ECU postgraduate Psychology students are able to put theory into practice at the ECU Psychological Services Centre.

The Centre is a state‑of‑the‑art psychology clinic and training centre where Clinical Psychology interns provide services to the public under the direct supervision of experienced clinical psychologists.

The Centre is unique in Australia because it is located off‑campus, in the heart of Joondalup. This makes it easily accessible to the general public, and facilitates excellent communication with other services.

Student films connect with the small screen

A runaway bride, a tragedy‑struck surfer, a flamboyant bushranger. These are just some of the characters that came to life on screen across Australia when ECU film students showcased their end of year projects on Channel Nine. Produced in and around Perth on very limited budgets, the films cover an ambitious rage of genres, including period drama, western, romance and thriller. These six short dramas premiered at the WA Screen Academy gala screening entitled Connections and were also broadcast on Channel Nine with audiences given the chance to vote for their favourite film online.

Writer finds success in the South West

South West Arts program PhD candidate Nicole Sinclair is set to release her debut novel Bloodlines, which was written as part of her Doctor of Philosophy creative work completed at our Bunbury Campus. Inspired by two places which hold great significance for Nicole, the wheatbelt farm she grew up on and her time as a volunteer on an island in Papua New Guinea, Bloodlines is a layered novel, featuring shifting settings, times and voices. Shortlisted for the City of Fremantle 2014 T.A.G. Hungerford Award, Nicole’s debut work will be published by the Margaret River Press.

Happiness in focus for Freo

Now in its third year, The Happiness Project, a collaborative project between ECU and the City of Fremantle, aims to enhance happiness through thought‑provoking and human‑centred design. Students studying Graphic Design and Environmental and Spatial Design work to identify and solve design problems and propose innovative ways to inject happiness into the city. In 2016, the Happiness Project saw students experimenting with design concepts that address social needs, incorporating community feedback into their creative outputs that focused on generating public artworks, emphasising Fremantle's musical heritage, and using vegetation and planting as a way to bring the community together.

Student celebrates Silver Scholarship

A top performing Arts and Humanities student is set to make her mark in the field of psychology after being awarded a Silver Scholarship. International student Julianne Jayasekera will receive free tuition for the duration of her studies in the Bachelor of Psychological Science course for demonstrating a high level of academic performance, as well as embodying the ECU core values of integrity, respect, rational enquiry and personal excellence. After graduating from high school in Sri Lanka, Julianne decided to come to Australia to study psychology. “ECU had, in my opinion, the best Psychology related courses. I like that there are no predetermined majors or minors so you have the flexibility to pick courses from the whole of the arts and humanities sector,” she said. The Silver Scholarships were awarded as part of ECU’s 25th anniversary celebrations in 2016, recognising outstanding students who demonstrate a high level of academic achievement.

Arts partnerships giving students real industry insights

ECU is committed to the arts community and has ongoing partnerships with the Fringe World Festival, Perth International Arts Festival, Sculpture by the Sea and Revelation Perth International Film Festival. These relationships provide valuable connections, work placements and volunteer opportunities for our students, including ECU graduate and current staff member Denise Pepper who won the Western Australian Sculptor Scholarship for her work ‘Leaden Heart’ at this year’s Sculpture by the Sea.

Trusting your lecturers and your own ability is key to being able to learn a new language, especially one as complex as Japanese. Coming into the course without any previous formal training or experience learning a second language was daunting. I was pleasantly surprised by the intensive nature of the course and the hands‑on attitude of my lecturers, leading me to excel in ways I never expected. I was awarded the New Colombo Plan Scholarship for 2016, an Australian Government Scholarship which has assisted me during my exchange studies at Kyoto Sangyo University.

This enabled me to travel to Vancouver, Canada on exchange to study at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. During my exchange studies I was able to focus on developing a daily arts practice of mapping new experiences by exploring Vancouver on foot, and through sketching, photography and printmaking I developed these experiences into large scale paintings. My visual arts degree at ECU encouraged my public speaking and communication skills and being supported by my scholarship enabled me to really live and breathe my art practice throughout my exchange program. Living in another city pushed me to question my ideas and pre‑conceptions and developed my self‑confidence and vision for my future as a practicing artist; it was a life changing experience!

Before I commenced at ECU I thought graphic design was purely just about visual communication, but through my studies I learned that design can be used in so many ways to problem solve and improve our daily lives. My studies have inspired me to pursue a career that uses 'design thinking' to empathise and help people, not just create something that is good to look at. I had great lecturers and mentors, many who I still keep in contact with today. I was also given the opportunity to attend two international study tours to Shanghai, one for publishing and printing and one for photojournalism, which were both rewarding experiences that I never thought would happen. In my final semester I also interned for the School of Arts and Humanities at ECU, which was an amazing insight into designing in the workplace. I feel really lucky to have studied at ECU and to have had access to so many opportunities.

Pathways to UniWe believe everyone should have the opportunity to access a university education. That’s why we’ve created a range of entry options.

The application process can vary, based on whether you’re in Year 12, your educational qualifications, whether you’re a domestic or international student and the course for which you are applying. We recommend you contact us for a personal consultation about your options with one of our experienced Student Recruitment staff. Please refer to the back of this brochure for a range of contact options or come to one of our information evenings or other events. For details visit ecugetready.com.au/events

The following information is an overview of the most common pathways to ECU.

Applicants with an ATARAustralian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) is a ranking based on eligible subjects studied in year 12. If you are concerned you may not achieve the required ATAR for the course you wish to study, you should consider submitting a portfolio of your work and experience via our Portfolio Pathway at ecugetready.com.au/portfolio You may also be eligible for an automatic bonus points adjustment to your ATAR depending on the high school you attend(ed).

Applicants with a Certificate IV or Diploma from a Registered Training OrganisationIf you have successfully completed a qualification from a Registered Training Organisation (for example, a Certificate IV or Diploma) as part of Year 12 or afterwards, you may be able to use this study to fulfil requirements into one of our undergraduate courses or University Preparation Courses (UniPrep). Please note that there may be additional requirements to meet, such as WACE or English Competency.

Applicants with a near-miss ATAR, no ATAR or who are no longer in high school

Portfolio Pathway

ECU’s Portfolio Pathway assesses an applicant on a variety of measures. A current year 12 applicant is measured on their academic performance in ATAR subjects. Applicants who are older than school leaver age are measured on a variety of aspects including previous academic history and work experience.

As an applicant, you are asked to provide:

• Your academic records

• References

• A cover letter, including a personal statement and any other evidence you wish to include that will support your application for a particular course

Interviews and an English assessment may be required to further assess your interests and capability in meeting the challenges of your course of choice at ECU.

You may be offered a place in the course of your choice or the UniPrep course. School leaver applicants will be required to have successfully completed Year 12 and have achieved WACE. Portfolio Pathway is only available to domestic applicants and is not available for all courses.

It is important to include UniPrep as a preference on your Portfolio Pathway application, in case you are not offered your first preference.
