Edith Cowan University(ECU) is apublic research universityinWestern Australia.[8]It is named in honour of the first woman to be elected to anAustralian parliament,Edith Cowan,and is the only Australian university named after a woman.[9]It is thesecond-largestuniversity in the state with over 30,000 students in 2023.[4]Gaining university status in 1991, it was formed from an amalgamation of tertiary colleges with a history dating back to 1902 when theClaremont Teachers Collegewas established,[10]making it the modern descendant of the first tertiary institution inWestern Australia.[11]

It offers study programs inhealthcare,biomedicine,computer science,education,engineering,psychology,sports science,law,aeronauticsand theperforming arts.[12]It also offers aDoctor of Philosophy(PhD) research program and various majors of study incommerce,the artsandsciences.[13]The university has a partnership with theUniversity of Portsmouthin theUnited Kingdom,with which it offers dual-enrolled programs with integrated overseas study, and theUniversity of Tasmaniafornaval engineering.[14][15]ECU also has a notablecybersecurityresearch program beingone of two universitiesoperating federal Academic Centres of Cyber Security Excellence (ACCSE)[16]and the only Australian member university in the InterNational Cyber Security Center of Excellence (INCS-CoE).[17]

It has two metropolitan campuses inPerth(JoondalupandMount Lawley) and a regional campus inBunbury.[18]The main Joondalup campus forms the flagship institution of the Joondalup Learning Precinct and features a pine park and pond in theuniversity quadrangle.[19]The Mount Lawley campus, which is home to itsWestern Australian Academy of Performing Artsamong other schools, is re-locating to the Perth CBD in late 2025 as part of a new city campus to be built inYagan Square.[20][21]The Bunbury campus is located in bushland adjacent to theSt John of God Bunbury Hospitalwhich is home to a diverse range ofnative wildlifeincludingcockatoos,possums,quolls,kangaroosandwallabies.[22][23]

The university has produced some of Australia's mostprominent figures in the performing arts,operates a large nursing school,[24]has a long history of teacher education[10]and has a significant presence in cybersecurity research.[16][17]It is also notable for achieving the highest student satisfaction rate nationally among the 37 public universities that participate in the federal government's QILT Student Experience Survey.[25]It has retained the position annually from 2020 to the latest survey in 2022.[26][27]As of the Good Universities Guide 2024, it is also one oftwo national universitiesto have maintained a 5-star student satisfaction rating for teaching quality for 17 consecutive years.[28]

History

[edit]

Edith Cowan in 1921, the year she was elected to parliament

In 1847, the General Board of Education was established to oversee school development in theSwan River Colony.After becoming the Central Board of Education, it was superseded by the then-calledEducation Departmentin 1893, which classified schools, graded teachers, defined teachers' positions, implemented asalaryscale for teachers, abolished school fees, provided for co-educational schools and made attendance compulsory for children between the ages of six and 14.[29]At this time, theEducation Departmenthad "external study" for student teachers, where they taught in theclassroomwhile studying for examinations set by theDepartment.[30]

The origins of Edith Cowan University date back to 1902 with the establishment of theClaremont Teachers College,the first tertiary institution inWestern Australia.[31][11]Students could gain qualifications through studying at the College, which remained the only place one could do this until the 1950s when the Churchlands andGraylandscolleges opened. The function of teacher education did not pass into the university sector until the 1980s. The formerClaremontcampus is on land between Goldsworthy, Princess and Bay Roads in the westernPerthsuburb ofClaremont.[32]It is a large two storeylimestonebuilding set in extensive grounds, with a distinctive squarecrenellatedtower, and was entered in theRegister of the National Estatein 1987.[33]

Over time, other teacher training colleges were formed, includingGraylands Teachers College(GTC) in 1955, the Western Australian Secondary Teachers College (WASTC) in 1967 that was renamed Nedlands College of Advanced Education (NCAE) on 1 January 1979, Mount Lawley Teachers College (MLTC) in 1970 and Churchlands Teachers College in 1972.[34]TheGraylands Teachers Collegein 1977 was recommended by theCommonwealth Governmentfor closure at the end of 1979, to be merged into Churchlands, Mount Lawley andClaremont.[31][35]

On 11 December 1981, theClaremont Teachers College,Nedlands College of Advanced Education, Mount Lawley College of Advanced Education and Churchlands College of Advanced Education amalgamated to form the Western Australian College of Advanced Education (WACAE, or colloquiallywacky),[36]: 1 with campuses inChurchlands,Claremont,Mount LawleyandNedlands.[36]: 13 A newBunburycampus started taking in students in 1986,[36]: 14 and a newJoondalupcampus in 1987.[37]: 2 During the 1980s,Western Australia's first nursing education program was also established.[31]

TheClaremont Teachers College's last Director was Thomas Ryan (1924-2002), who completed his teacher training at the College and graduated in 1947. He was appointed Vice-Principal of the College in 1972, a position he held until his appointment as Director of the College in 1980.[38]

This is an image of the original Claremont campus which was sold to The University of Western Australia in 2004.

In 1989, WACAE underwent an independent review led by the formerUniversity of Melbournevice chancellor David Caro in the form of the Caro Committee, which included Roy Lourens who later became vice chancellor of Edith Cowan University.[31]One of the earlier proposals in the late 1980s for the name of the institution was Perth University.[39]WACAE was granted university status on 1 January 1991[40]and changed its name to Edith Cowan University afterEdith Dircksey Cowan,the first woman to be elected to anAustralian Parliament.[41]As of 2022,Edith Cowan University is the only Australian university named after a woman.

Cowan worked to raise funds for students to attend universities in other states, prior to a university being built inWestern Australia,obtaining government support for her scheme.[42]Her work in this area was acknowledged by namingWestern Australia's oldest education institution and newest university after her, as well as her image being added to the 1995 and 2018 designs (thepolymerdesigns) of theAustralian $50 note.[42] Cowan believed thateducationwas the key to growth, change and improvement and her contribution to the development ofWestern Australianeducation was significant. She strove to achievesocial justiceandcampaignedfor therightsof women, children and families, for the poor, the poorly educated and the elderly.[42]She promotedsex educationin schools, migrant welfare, and the formation of infant health centres, and was instrumental in obtaining votes for women inWestern Australia.[42]

In 1991, the university purchased the house that Cowan, her husband and family had resided in for approximately 20 years.[43]The house was reconstructed on the university's Joondalup campus[44]with the assistance of theWest Coast College of TAFE,and re-opened in 1997.[43]Edith Cowan House, Building 20 on the university's Joondalup campus,[43]currently plays host to the Peter Cowan Writers Centre.[45]

The originalClaremontbuilding continued serving for 16 years as a campus of Edith Cowan University following that institution's formation in 1989. The campus was then acquired by theUniversity of Western Australiaand became home to the Confucius Institute,University of Western Australia Pressand, until 2021,Taylors College.[32][46]

Teaching schools

[edit]

The university has eight teaching schools, each with their own school colours.[47]

School of Business and Law

The School of Business and Law was established during 1975 inChurchlandsas the School of Business Studies and originally offered majors inaccountingandadministrative studiesbefore expanding to other fields and campuses. The inaugural Head of School was Dr Valentine M Pervan, who assumed the role in 1 July 1975, and courses started the following year with an initial enrolment of 224 students. The school provided the college's first courses incomputing studies,which usedPDP 11andIBM 4331computers. The school received a donation of oneIBM System/82fromInternational Business Machines(IBM) in November 1982/1983, which was installed at theMount Lawleycampus. The school later became centralised at the newly-built Joondalup campus but continued offering programs at other campuses.[39]

The school provides education and research programs in various fields of commerce and law. These include double degree undergraduate programs with each other, engineering, psychology, criminology and various fields in the arts.[48]The school is accredited byAssociation to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business(ACCSB), an accrediting body for business schools.[49]

ECU plans to shift the school to the planned Perth CBD campus, which is projected to open in 2026.[49]

Federal government reports

[edit]

The federal QILT Student Experience Survey (2022) is a survey conducted by the Australian Government on student satisfaction in key aspects of their university studies. The report found that 81.9% of students at Edith Cowan University were satisfied with their overall university experience, the fourth-highest in Australia and highest in Western Australia. The university rated highly for teaching quality, skills development, learning resources and student support while rating lower for learner engagement. The overall rating is the highest among public universities, which have ahigher student population.[135][136][137][138]The university also has high employment outcomes according to QILT, with 93% of graduates finding full-time employment within three years and a median salary of A$86,900, the highest of Western Australian universities in 2023.[139]According to the Australian Government's QILT, ECU graduates had a full-time employment rate of 93% with a median salary ofA$86,900 within three years, the highest of Western Australian universities in 2023.[139][140]

Ranking publications

[edit]

The university rankings for Edith Cowan University varies by academic publication. The 2025 QS World University Rankings placed ECU at the 516th position.[151]The 2023 Times Higher Education (THE) rankings listed ECU in the 351–400 band.[152]The Shanghai Ranking listed it at the 601–700 band[153]while U.S. News & World Report placed it in the 495th position.[154]The 2024 Good Universities Guide ranked the university within the top four nationally for teaching quality, student support, learning resources, skills development and overall experience.[155]

Different university ranking publications use varying methodologies to rank universities[156][157][158][159][160][161]and cannot accurately calculate teaching performance, research quality and other abstract functions into a singular numerical composite.[162]University ranking methodologies have alsobeen subject to scrutiny[163][164][165]for their subjectivity, bias and lack of consideration for institutional specialisations.[166][167][168]Institutional competitiveness reinforced by ranking publication results also discourages inter-institutional academic co-operation, non-anglophone thought and have been described as a modern form of colonialism.[169][170][171][172][173][174][175][168]The pursuit for higher rankings has also caused many universities globally to prioritise staff for research output over teaching skills and cause stress to high school students.[176][177]
