About Us
Edith Cowan University (ECU) is a young and progressive institution renowned for its excellence in teaching. We have consistently received the maximum five-star rating for teaching quality from our graduates, making us the only public university in Australia to achieve such a high standard.

Our School of Arts and Humanities is one of the largest at ECU, encompassing diverse disciplines within three main clusters: Creative Humanities; Psychology, Counselling and Criminology; and Social Sciences, Social Work and Youth Work. In the latter cluster, we specialize in research areas such as ecosocial and cultural care, social responses to climate change, social ageing futures, and transnational social concerns.

We operate across four campuses, with over 140 academic and professional staff, and maintain a strong online education presence. Our diversity enables interdisciplinary innovation, a sustainable financial platform, and numerous opportunities for collaborations with industry and community. In 2026, our creative humanities program will begin operating from the outstanding new ECU City Campus while maintaining and expanding operations at our Joondalup and South West campuses and off-shore campus in Sri Lanka.

We aim to be an exceptional school whose research and teaching foster the caring and creative professions, contribute to achieving more equal and positive social relations, realize individual human potential, and enable diverse creative expression. Our key priorities for 2024-2029 include care, climate change, decolonisation, digital futures, global transformation, intersectional inclusion, and storytelling, driven by an operational emphasis on engagement, leadership, partnerships, and school solidarity.
