Approximately 17,000 students are undergraduates and 3,000 postgraduates. Four of ECU's five campuses are within the Perth metropolitan area. The fifth one is at Unbury, a city 200 km south of Perth. All campuses provide a number of student facilities, such as library and study areas, cafeterias, computer facilities, bookshops, media services and banking services. The faculty of Communications, Health and Science has a number of disciplines and opportunities for students to tailor courses to meet their individual professional needs.
Courses are also available in a variety of modes including on campus classes and on-line delivery.
The Faculty is committed to supporting courses using the latest technologies. Students are all given access to the Internet and the University's Virtual Campus so that they can communicate with each other and with their tutors, access course resources, use on-line databases and submit assignments. Some courses, for example those related to Computing, can be studied in mixed mode with students being free to come on campus for some lectures and to study at home with independent study materials for others. Class sizes on campus vary according to discipline with some lectures being around 200. Lectures are supported with tutorial sessions with numbers of 20-25 to allow for personal attention and equitable access to resources and equipment.
