Edith Cowan College

History

Established in 1991, ECU was founded when a union of teacher colleges dating back as far as 1902 came together to form Western Australia's first higher education institution. The university gets its name from Edith Dircksey Cowan OBE, the first woman to be elected to Australian Parliament.
