Uniquely located in the heart of Australia’s largest high-tech precinct, Macquarie brings together 40,000 students and 2000 staff in one thriving hub of discovery. Our campus spans 126 hectares, with open green space that gives our community the freedom to think and grow.
From our beginnings, we have defied the traditional boundaries of academia. Instead, we have pioneered – and continue to pioneer – learning and teaching approaches that challenge conventions and shift thinking.
Our pioneering approach is built around a connected learning community. Our students are considered partners and co-creators in their learning experience. Their face-to-face experience is paired with sophisticated and interactive digital resources. Their courses are linked to the latest research discoveries. They are connected with industry partners through internships and work placements.
Macquarie University is on track to becoming one of Australia's leading research universities. To reach our goal we are investing heavily in research, learning and teaching, new buildings, new teaching facilities and in developing mutually beneficial relationships with industry.
We design many of our degrees in collaboration with industry and many are also accredited by peak professional bodies, giving our students a head start on their careers. Additionally, we offer our students a package of career accelerator initiatives that educate, enable and empower them to launch a career in whatever field ignites their passion.More than AU$1 billion has recently been invested in our facilities and infrastructure so our students and staff can thrive in an environment that is inspiring and switched on to the latest digital technologies.
Macquarie is home to some of the world's most pre-eminent researchers many of whom are members of our 18 Concentrations of Research Excellence. These concentrations cover a diverse range of fields from Ancient History to Climate Change. Alongside this research effort, we are rejuvenating our learning and teaching, updating our curriculum and providing opportunities for students and staff to contribute to society.
Macquarie University was founded in 1964 to be a radical and unconventional addition to the New South Wales tertiary education market. Fifty years on, Macquarie University is still different. Macquarie is proudly a university of service and engagement - engaging students and staff through transformative learning and life experiences, and serving the world through discovery, dissemination of knowledge and ideas, innovation and deep partnerships.
Our unique location, in the heart of Australia's largest high-technology precinct, provides benefits for staff and students through an environment of outstanding research and innovation, and through learning and teaching opportunities with world-leading organisations. We aspire to be:

Unhelpful staff, person who is in charge never accept he is wrong. This university love to own every cents in your pocket.

Clean. Modern. Quality equipment. Enough staff. All in all a positive experience with one exception; I did not like the manner and attitude of one staff member. I hope management will take efforts to reward friendly and trying staff and take stronger measures against negative attitudes. To all the other staff which has been great - thank you!

I finished my post graduate masters degree with Macquarie University, and I have nothing but good things to say. This is the best university that students can go to, it has amazing fields of green grass, loads of social events where you can meet other students, amazing classrooms, teachers, facilities, great food options and a shopping center and train station nearby.
The only downside is that university lodging is far too expensive, we are students, let's be real, we can't afford to pay such expensive rates! They need to find a way to construct bigger (massive) buildings with multiple rows of studios apartments that offer cheaper lodging for us all. If they can make staying on campus a bit more affordable then it will make all of us a lot more happy!
