READ NOWActing Vice-Chancellor Arshad Omari said QILT provided significant indicators for the sector because it was based on student and graduate experience of a university.
“ECU is committed to putting students at the centre of everything we do and it’s pleasing to see this is being recognised at a national level,” Professor Omari said.
ECU was again rated the top WA public university by graduates for overall graduate satisfaction, teaching and skills.
The Federal Education Department funds the QILT research which is done by the Social Research Centre at the ANU.
