Edith Cowan University (ECU) is a public university in Perth, Australia. It is named in honour of the first woman to be elected to an Australian parliament, Edith Cowan, and is the only Australian university named after a woman.[5] Gaining university status in 1991, it was formed from an amalgamation of tertiary colleges with a history dating back to 1902 when the Claremont Teachers College was established,[6] making it the modern descendant of the first tertiary institution in Western Australia.[7]

Additionally, the university has partnerships with several education institutions to conduct courses and programs offshore.[9] In 2020, the university enrolled over 31,000 students at undergraduate and postgraduate level,[10] approximately 7,000 of whom were international students.[11]
Amongst its divisions are the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA), a performing arts training academy;[12] the School of Nursing and Midwifery, which offers a large undergraduate nursing program and the School of Education which offers a wide range of secondary teaching specialisations. The university also provides Psychology and Community Studies, and is home to the Western Australian Screen Academy.
In the 2022 Good Universities Guide, ECU rated among the top three Australian universities for teaching quality, skills development, student support, student-to-teacher ratio, learning resources and overall experience.[13] It was also one of two national universities to have maintained a 5-star rating in teaching quality for 15 years.[14] The university is also a member of the Association of Commonwealth Universities, Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business and the International Association of Law Schools.[15]
History
The origins of Edith Cowan University date back to 1902 with the establishment of Claremont Teachers College, the first tertiary education institution in Western Australia.[6][7]
Other teacher training colleges were formed over the years, including Graylands 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.[16] In 1977 Graylands was recommended for closure at the end of 1979, to be merged into Churchlands, Mount Lawley and Claremont.[17]
On 11 December 1981, Claremont 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),[18]: 1 with campuses in Churchlands, Claremont, Mount Lawley and Nedlands.[18]: 13 A new Bunbury campus started taking in students in 1986,[18]: 14 and a new Joondalup campus in 1987.[19]: 2
WACAE was granted university status on 1 January 1991[20] and changed its name to Edith Cowan University.[21]
Edith Cowan University was named after the first woman to be elected to an Australian Parliament, Edith Dircksey Cowan, and 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 in Western Australia, obtaining government support for her scheme.[22] Her work in this area was acknowledged by naming Western Australia's oldest education institution and newest university after her, as well as her image being added to the Australian $50 note.[22]
Cowan believed that education was the key to growth, change and improvement and her contribution to the development of Western Australian education was significant. She strove to achieve social justice and campaigned for the rights of women, children and families, for the poor, the poorly educated and the elderly.[22] She promoted sex education in schools, migrant welfare, and the formation of infant health centres, and was instrumental in obtaining votes for women in Western Australia.[22]
In 1991, the university purchased the house that Cowan, her husband and family had resided in for approximately 20 years.[23] The house was reconstructed on the university's Joondalup Campus[24] with the assistance of the West Coast College of TAFE, and re-opened in 1997.[23] Edith Cowan House, Building 20 on the university's Joondalup Campus,[25] currently plays host to the Peter Cowan Writer's Centre.[26]

Campuses
ECU has three campuses, consisting of two metropolitan campuses at Joondalup and Mount Lawley, and one at Bunbury, in Western Australia's South West Region. Programs are also offered at regional centres throughout Western Australia.
The Joondalup Campus is the University's headquarters.[8] Facilities on the campus include a new Health and Wellness Building, a multimillion-dollar sport and fitness centre, a new award-winning library and student hub, an outdoor cinema screening Perth International Arts Festival Lotterywest Festival Films during the summer months and on-campus accommodation.[8] The campus also forms part of the Joondalup Learning Precinct, which includes the West Coast College of TAFE to the north and the Western Australian Police Academy to the northeast.[58] It is serviced by the Joondalup CAT and is close to the Mitchell Freeway.
The Mount Lawley Campus is close to the Perth central business district (CBD). Facilities on the campus include extensive media training and performing arts facilities, a sport and fitness centre and on-campus accommodation.[8] The campus also forms part of the Mount Lawley education precinct with Mount Lawley Senior High School, and is home to WAAPA, one of Australia's most successful and well-known arts training institutions.[59]
The South West Campus is located in Bunbury, two hours drive south of Perth.[8] The South West Campus (Bunbury) is the largest university campus outside the metropolitan area and is part of an educational precinct comprising South West Institute of Technology and the Bunbury Health Campus[8] which includes St John of God Hospital and South West Area Health Services. The campus has modern facilities, small class sizes, two vending machines, a cafe, and a common room. In addition, a comprehensive range of courses and on-campus accommodation is available.[8] Many classes have recently been shifted to online to cater to overseas students.
The university formerly also had three campuses in Perth's western suburbs – Churchlands, Claremont and Nedlands. These campuses were closed down around the turn of the millennium with the Churchlands Campus becoming a residential estate[60] and the Nedlands and Claremont campuses being acquired by the University of Western Australia.
In 2014 the university opened[61] the ECU Health Centre on Dundebar Road in Wanneroo. The Centre includes the Wanneroo GP Super Clinic, ECU Psychological Services Centre, pharmacy, and allied health practitioners.
On 20 September 2020, as part of a $1.5-billion "Perth City Deal" between the federal and Western Australian state governments, it was announced that the Mount Lawley campus would relocate to immediately west of Yagan Square in the Perth CBD. The campus, dubbed "ECU City", is projected to open in 2025 at a cost of $695 million to include all facilities at the current Mount Lawley campus. Mount Lawley Senior High School is planned to expand into the current WAAPA facilities at Mount Lawley.[62][63] On 17 December 2021, the city campus project was approved by DevelopmentWA. Initial construction on the site will begin in the second quarter of 2022.[64]
