Edith Cowan University

Applications are rolling for both semesters. For a February start, apply by late November to leave time for your offer, deposit and visa; for July, apply by late April. Nursing and performing arts programmes have fixed earlier deadlines and, for performing arts, auditions.

ECU has two main intakes: Semester 1 in February and Semester 2 in July. Most undergraduate and coursework master's programmes admit for both. Performing arts and some education programmes are February only, so check the course page.

You need a Student visa (subclass 500). After you accept your offer and pay the deposit, ECU issues a Confirmation of Enrolment. You then apply through ImmiAccount with proof of funds, Overseas Student Health Cover and a Genuine Student statement.

Cyber security, computer science, the MBA, engineering and data science are the most applied-for programmes. Master's entry usually needs a bachelor's degree with a pass average (around 55% for Indian degrees) and IELTS 6.5 with no band below 6.0; nursing requires 7.0.

ECU offers international merit scholarships that reduce tuition by a set percentage for eligible undergraduate and postgraduate applicants, with awards for students from India and other countries assessed automatically on application.
