Edith Cowan University (ECU) is a public university in Perth. It is named in honour of the first woman to be elected to an Australian parliament, Edith Cowan. 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.
ECU offers more than 300 courses across two metropolitan campuses, in Joondalup and Mount Lawley, and a regional campus in Bunbury, 200km south of Perth; many courses are also offered for study online. Additionally, the university has partnerships with several education institutions to conduct courses and programs offshore. In 2020, the university enrolled over 31,000 students at undergraduate and postgraduate level, approximately 7,000 of whom were international students.
