A three-year design degree at ECU City; the 2024 and 2025 ranks are for Mount Lawley, before ECU moved its Mount Lawley courses to the new ECU City campus in 2026. The lowest selection rank was ECU's 70.00 minimum each year, and there are no subject prerequisites.
Lowest selection rank
The lowest selection rank (LSR) is the lowest ATAR plus adjustment factors (equity, subject and regional bonuses) that received an offer to the ECU Bachelor of Design for that intake. Universities publish it in their admissions student profiles. Only intakes with a published figure are listed.
