"I loved that I was able to travel to Bhutan to study sustainability."

Amber Anderson graduated from our Sustainability course.

"My major provided an insight and knowledge into not only sustainability, but also public health, environmental issues, conservation, waste and how businesses can be more sustainable. This provides me with multiple career pathways upon graduation."

Our annual Work Integrated Learning (WIL) Industry Event once again brought together students, alumni and industry partners to celebrate collaboration and explore this year's theme, Developing Future Talent for an AI-Enabled World.

Attendees heard an inspiring alumni spotlight from Nicholas Putra, former WIL student and now Cyber Security Assurance Lead at the Office of Digital Government, who reflected on how WIL helped shape his career journey.

Industry insights were shared by guest speakers from Perth Airport, IBM, IGO, the Department of Education WA and Microanalysis Australia, who explored the impact of AI, emerging technologies and evolving workplace expectations on the future workforce. The presentations were followed by a lively panel discussion on the skills and capabilities graduates will need to thrive in an AI-enabled world and the event closed with networking over morning tea on the mezzanine level of our beautiful City Campus.

A sincere thank you to our speakers, industry partners and guests for contributing to another successful event. Your ongoing support helps create valuable opportunities for SSCI students to connect with industry, build professional networks and prepare for future careers.

"I've learned that anything is achievable if you set your mind to it and focus on your goals and dreams."

Rebecca MacMillan completed her Bachelor of Science at ECU Joondalup.

"Coming from a farming background, I was always interested in studying biology. So I made the decision to move here and begin my studies at ECU.

ECU offered me a course with exciting fieldwork and lecturers who were so welcoming. They even helped me find work experience positions! I have completed volunteer work at the Western Australian Herbarium."

Did you know that our School offers study tours overseas? This selfie is from last year's Planetary Health Study Tour in Fiji, an experience that offers students a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience tackling real-world environmental and public health challenges while earning academic credits.

The next tour is running 9 January - 7 February 2027. If you're a current Edith Cowan University (ECU) School of Science student, check your email for more details (including grants).

Hosted by Fiji National University, the program is designed for students interested in the connection between environmental health, community wellbeing and sustainable development. Participants will engage in seminars, field visits and community-based learning activities that explore planetary health issues facing Fiji.

Today is National Threatened Species Day! Hear from Dr Sean Buckley about his unexpected passion for genetics research.

National Threatened Species Day is a day to shine a spotlight on all the Australian native animal and plant species that are facing similar fates to that of the now-extinct Tasmanian tiger.
