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.
Edith Cowan believed strongly in education as the key to growth and improvement, and tirelessly campaigned for the rights of women, families, and the poorly educated. Her passion for social justice and education led to not only her name being taken for the newly formed university, but also to her image being added to the Australian $50 note. To this date, she is the only female with an Australian university named after her.
