About Edith Cowan College
Edith Cowan College (ECC), formerly the Perth Institute of Business and Technology, is the founding college of the Navitas Group and has partnered with Edith Cowan University (ECU) since 1994. ECC diplomas are quality assured by ECU and equal the first year of an ECU bachelor's degree, so graduates enter ECU in year two. ECC is in Building 80 on ECU's Joondalup Campus West, near Joondalup train station, and students use ECU libraries, labs and services. Diplomas include commerce, computing and IT, health science, communications and creative industries and hotel management.
