Overview
Edith Cowan University (ECU) is WA’s top multi-campus university serving communities nationally and internationally. For 15 years in a row, ECU has achieved a 5-star rating for teaching quality in the Good Universities Guide. School of Business and Law courses are ranked as having the best overall educational experience in WA. ECU is also ranked in the world's top 100 universities under 50 years old in the 2020 Times Higher Education (THE) Young Universities Rankings. The School’s Law courses are ranked as having the best full-time employment rate and highest median salary in WA. For 6 years in a row, ECU is the top public university in Australia for undergraduate teaching quality according to Quality Indicators for Learning and Teaching (QILT).

The School of Business and Law develops industry-ready graduates through high-quality teaching and learning experiences and engaged applied research. The School offers a comprehensive range of undergraduate and postgraduate coursework and research Business and Law degrees designed to give students relevant theory, practical work experience, and critical employability skills. The School is a Member of the International Association of Law Schools and its Law Program is accredited by the Legal Practice Board of Western Australia. ECU is the first and only University in WA to offer a fully accredited online Law degree.

As part of an exciting expansion plan, the School of Business and Law will move into its brand-new world-class city campus in Yagan Square in the Perth CBD in 2025. This Creative Industries, Law, Business and Technology Campus will be where innovative thinkers, adaptive learners and global citizens meet to develop into the leaders of tomorrow. ECU’s CBD campus will bring together streams of teaching and research with unique synergies for growth and development. This is unequivocally the most exciting time of all to join the university as it embarks on this further growth and transformational journey.

The Law discipline will reap immediate benefits from ECU’s move to the Perth CBD. Students will hone their skills in the most up to date moot court in the state, complete with enhancements for instantaneous video recording facilities and feedback, roaming cameras with sound sensitive tracking, and facilities for remote participation. Those from remote locations will experience a level of engagement as rich as that experienced by an on-campus student. At the same time, the geographical proximity to the metropolitan courts and libraries will enable on-campus law lecturers and students to expect an unsurpassed level of engagement with the legal profession.
