As an ECU undergraduate, you can expect the best overall student experience of any of the 38 public universities in Australia. More about QILT.
ECU is one of the best unis in Australia for teaching. We've had 17 straight years of 5-star ratings in the Good Universities Guide to prove it!
We're ranked one of the world's best universities under 50 years old, and we've already established a global reputation for such a young institution.
As an undergraduate student, you'll waste no time getting into the practical side of this field. In fact, you'll eventually complete a minimum of 1000 hours of practice education/fieldwork to meet the requirements of the World Federation of Occupational Therapists.
Our future student events include a mix of on-campus and online sessions designed to help you decide what to study at ECU.
