Next-Gen Healthcare Leaders: AU-INP Students Touch Down at ECU Joondalup

A brand-new chapter has officially begun for Arellano University’s International Nursing Program (AU-INP)student nurses as they make Western Australia their new home! For the July 2026 intake, Lorenzo De Jesus, Vladimir Geronimo, Tsutomu Tateishi, Angel Torsiende, Joey Wan, and Samantha Ylagan have arrived at Edith Cowan University (ECU) in Perth to take on their final two years of clinical training and academic coursework.

Through AU-INP’s 2+2 articulation pathway, these future nurses completed their initial two years of BSN studies at Arellano University in Manila before transferring into ECU’s world-class nursing program. While the curriculum promises rigorous hands-on clinical placements and advanced simulation lab work, the journey is equally packed with vibrant campus life. From exploring Joondalup’s lush green spaces to soaking in Perth’s sunny coastal lifestyle, this new batch is diving headfirst into both learning and adventure.

As they step into ECU’s cutting-edge facilities, they carry on a proud legacy, getting ready to add their names to the long, growing list of successful AU-INP alumni thriving in the global healthcare system.
